Note. Phi (ϕ) coefficients between dichotomous variables and Cramer‘s V coefficient between dichotomous variable and provinces; Coming out (i.e. disclosure of sexual orientation) and gay community involvement were not presented because those variables were not included in multivariate analyses. Coming out was significantly correlated with gay community involvement (r = .36), knowing HIV+ LGBT (r = 21), and victimization (r = .20); community involvement was significantly correlated with age (r = .13), SES (r = .14), Education (r = .15), sexually active (r = .21), and victimization (r = .17).
