    El estudio actual tuvo como principal objetivo analizar si aquellas personas lesbianas, gais y bisexuales (LGB) que sufrieron un evento estresante en la infancia y/o adolescencia, tal como haber sido víctima de acoso escolar por motivo de orientación afectivo-sexual, tiene consecuencias negativas en su bienestar psicológico. Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio, realizado con 119 gais, lesbianas y bisexuales, sugieren que el bullying sufrido en el pasado influye en el bienestar psicológico de los sujetos en la actualidad, concretamente, en los niveles de depresión y ansiedad, autoestima y balanza de afectos. Asimismo, se confirma que las redes sociales proveedoras de apoyo, las dificultades a la hora de aceptar la propia orientación afectivo-sexual y la aceptación por parte de los otros significativos de la orientación afectivo-sexual constituyen factores susceptibles de influir en el bienestar psicológico de los sujetos.

    The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent to which stressful events suffered in childhood and/or adolescence, such as being a victim of bullying, have an impact on the psychological well-being of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) individuals. This study was carried out with 119 LGBs. The results suggest that bullying suffered during childhood and/or adolescence influences individuals’ current psychological well-being, particularly depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and affective balance. Factors such as social networks as support providers, difficulties in accepting one’s sexual-emotional orientation, and others' approval of one’s sexual-emotional orientation may also influence psychological well-being.
