Introduction Mental health issues may exacerbate the medical and psychological vulner- abilities of LGBTQ+ populations (Lazaroiu et al., 2018) throughout the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak (Byerly et al., 2019), configuring challenges as regards their psychological well-being. (Salerno et al., 2020) Economic declines intensify discrimination of LGBTQ+ individuals, cognitive, emo- tional, and behavioral disorders (Lazaroiu, 2018) related to COVID-19 isola- tion, quarantine, and physical distancing.
