The aim of this research was to discover the relationship between the depression, anxiety, and stress caused from homophobic victimization and a sense of self identification with the queer community. Fifty-five Southern Oregon University LGBTQ students, faculty, and staff who were 18 years or older were recruited to participate in this study. Using SPSS, the data collected from participants' Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales, Adapted Atmosphere Scales, and demographic information sheets were analyzed by means of Spearman's correlation coefficient and Pearson's correlation coefficient. No statistically reliable relationship in the data was found. It was suggested that similar research collect a larger and broader sample population and use inventories and questionnaires that are more relevant to the queer community. Further research should be focused on other buffers to the effects of homophobic victimization as well as preventative measures surrounding homophobic victimization.
