Very little research exists on the process of aging among gay men. The number of men self- identifying as gay over the age of 65 will be close to a million and a half by 2030. However, what is known about how these men have aged, what they experience, and will experience is mostly unknown. This study examined the relationship among internalized homophobia, life satisfaction, and well-being related to aging in 209 gay men between the ages of 18 to 77 (M = 42.86; SD = 14.83). Participants completed online versions of the Internalized Homophobia Scale (Wagner et al., 1994), Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985), and the Well-being of Gay Men Scale, which was constructed for this study. The Well-being scale consisted of two vignettes that differed only in the age of the character (25 or 65 years), and 10 questions designed to evaluate the well-being of the character. Covariates were identified for the outcome variables, and the scores for each measure were found to be normally distributed. As expected, a significant one-tailed partial correlation between internalized homophobia and age emerged. Contrary to expectation, the 156 White/Caucasians had a significantly higher internalized homophobia score than the 50 non-White/Caucasians. Consistent with the expectation that the participants would exhibit ageist attitudes toward the older vignette character, the 25-year-old vignette was rated significantly more positively than the 65-year-old vignette. As hypothesized, both vignettes of the Well-being scale showed significant positive partial correlations with satisfaction with life, but the expected negative correlation between the Well-being scale and internalized homophobia did not emerge. This study is one of the first in the literature to examine well-being related to aging among gay men, and report that those feelings of well-being are associated with their level of life satisfaction, but not their level of internalized homophobia. The clinical implications are wide as it is important to understand the challenges of aging that gay men experience throughout their development. The finding that gay men can have a high level of internalized homophobia and still acknowledge a generally satisfactory attitude of aging deserves further exploration.
