Relations of religion with depression and loneliness in older sexual and gender minority adults.

CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that outness to religious communities may be beneficial to the mental health of older LGBTQ adults. Higher levels of distress may lead to higher levels of religious engagement. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Religion, especially those that are supportive of sexual minorities, may help to improve the well-being of older LGBTQ adults.
