3. RESULT
RESULT
Immigrant status was strongly associated with family
acceptanceChildhood religious affiliation was linked to family
acceptance; participants who reported a childhood religious
affiliation reported lower family acceptance compared with those
with no religious affiliation in childhood. Childhood family
religiosity was also linked to family acceptance; highly accepting
families reported low religiosity compared with the high
religiosity among low accepting families.finally, we find evidence
of a link between social class and family acceptance such that
highly accepting families had higher parental occupational status 15
compared with those that scored low on acceptance (statistical
analyses available from authors on request). Young adults who
reported high levels of family acceptance scored higher on all
three measures of positive adjustment and health: self-esteem,
social support, and general health. For the measures of negative
health outcomes, young adults who reported low levels of family
acceptance had scores that were significantly worse for
depression, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation and attempts
DISCUSSION
Based on the results of research that has
been done, it is found that there are still
many families who do not accept the
existence of LGBT with the criteria of
immigrants, religion, and low economic
status. however, the authors of this study
focus on families that support the existence
of LGBT 16
