This study was conducted to evaluate internalized homophobia and depression levels in LGBT individuals.This descriptive study, conducted between June and October 2018, included 110 LGBT individuals.The mean Beck Depression Inventory total score of LGBT individuals was 3.14 ± 4.84. The mean total score of the Internalized Homophobia Scale was 15.5 ± 8.09. It was determined that there was a positive but weak relationship between the mean scores of internalized homophobia of the LGBT individuals and the mean score of depression, and internalized homophobia made a statistically significant contribution to depression.It is considered that the presence of internalized homophobia should be taken into consideration in the prevention of depression in LGBT individuals or in investigating of existing depressive factors in LGBT individuals.
