Abstract This article discusses how sexual orientation-based stigma serves to undermine functioning in female same-sex relationships. We particularly focus on the unique roles of interpersonal stigma (e.g., victimization, microaggressions) and structural stigma (e.g., institutional forms of discrimination), highlighting critical limitations and gaps in this literature and offering suggestions for future studies. We also discuss the need for future work on sexual orientation-related stigma and relationship functioning to consider the unique experiences of bisexual women, intersecting identities, and couple-level perspectives on stigma.

女性同性伴侣中与性取向有关的污名和关系起作用

摘要本文讨论基于性取向的污名如何破坏女性同性关系中的功能。我们特别关注人际歧视（例如受害，微侵略）和结构歧视（例如歧视的制度形式）的独特作用，强调这些文献中的关键局限性和不足之处，并为以后的研究提供建议。我们还讨论了有关与性取向相关的污名和关系功能的未来工作的必要性，以考虑双性恋女性的独特经历，相交的身份以及夫妻对污名的看法。
