Little is known about the experiences of African American gay men. This study concentrated
on one aspect of African American gay men's experience by examining the association between
racial identity and relationship satisfaction. The Racial Identity Attitude Scale was used
to measure racial identity, and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale was used to assess relationship
satisfaction. Statistical analyses suggest that in this sample, there was no significant
correlation between racial identity and relationship satisfaction. A discussion of the
study's findings and family counselor implications are presented.
