Jorge Gato, Ph.D., is a Researcher affiliated with the Centre for Psychology at the University of Porto (CPUP). Throughout his career, he has worked in a branch of Psychology that explores the lives and experiences of LGBTQ people (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer individuals). Although LGBTQ Psychology is concerned with sexuality, it has a much wider-ranging application, examining many different aspects, including prejudice and discrimination, coming out, identity development, relationships, parenting and families, aging and old age, or affirmative psychological interventions. During the last 5 years, he has conducted work in three lines of research within the wider area of stigma and resilience among LGBTQ individuals: (1) stigma and resilience among LGBTQ families; (2) stigma and resilience among LGBTQ youths and young adults; and (3) stigma and resilience among LGBTQ individuals during the covid-19 pandemic.
