Description
Alex Chan and Elsie Yan study what shapes the mental well-being of older gay and bisexual men in Chinese societies, in a 2023 paper. These men face a double stigma, of age and of sexuality, and research had mostly covered younger men. Over four hundred fifty participants past sixty were surveyed across mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Standard scales measured well-being, discrimination, social capital, acceptance, and legal climate.
Discrimination levels differed sharply among the three places and dragged well-being down everywhere. Feeling socially accepted lifted well-being. Social capital showed a puzzling split, lifting legal inclusion scores while weighing on well-being itself. The authors argue policy and community support must reach this aging, often hidden population.
