Abstract in brief

  • The article reviews research showing that lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) populations experience higher rates of mental disorders compared to heterosexuals, supported by meta-analyses.
  • It introduces a conceptual framework that explains this mental health disparity through minority stress, which includes stigma, prejudice, discrimination, and internalized homophobia, all contributing to a hostile social environment.
  • The framework also highlights stress processes such as prejudice events, concealment of identity, and coping mechanisms, guiding future research, policy discussions, and efforts to improve mental health outcomes for LGB groups.]

@GayConservativ3 So, that one, I'm not sure it supports your hypothesis. First it cites "Prejudice, Social Stress, and Mental Health in Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Populations: Conceptual Issues and Research Evidence" which seems to be contentious.
