Abstract:	The associations between psychosocial adjustment problems of 97 adoles-cents and emerging adults of lesbian and gay parents and their experiences of homophobic victimization were examined. Their psychosocial problems were also compared to their peers from a large-scale representative survey (n = 6,531). Self-report measures were used. Significant differences between the two groups were found with youth of lesbian and gay parents reporting more psychological distress and hard drugs use but less suicidal ideation. There were significant correlations between psychosocial problems and homophobic victimization. Despite a more positive climate toward sexual minorities, youth from lesbian and gay parent families are still exposed to risk factors that may impact their psychological well-being. The practical implications of our findings are discussed.
