    Context:

    • Structural stigma, including legal discrimination and societal attitudes towards same-sex relationships, varies across European nations.
    • Past research linked country-level stigma to lower life satisfaction among sexual minorities.

    • Sweden saw a small increase (β = 0.188) with high existing acceptance.
