The purpose of the current study was to understand the relation between experiences of discrimination, psychological distress and resilience in individuals of the LGBTQ community in India. There were 180 participants, aged between 18-30 years in the study who self- identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer. An online Google survey form was designed and circulated to collect information on demographic details, experiences of discrimination, psychological distress and resilience. The results of bivariate correlation revealed that the correlation between experiences of discrimination and resilience was not significant. There was a strong negative significant correlation between psychological distress and resilience (r= -0.58). The linear regression between psychological distress and resilience was statistically significant. According to this result, 34.5% variance in psychological distress was predicted from resilience. The findings can be disseminated through public awareness campaigns, educational programs, or media outlets to raise awareness and promote understanding. It also has implications for clinical practice, such as informing therapeutic interventions or counselling approaches that address the negative effects of discrimination on mental health and well-being. The study may also highlight the need for culturally sensitive and affirming mental health services for LGBTQ+ individuals.
