Make a positive impact on the health, safety, and well-being of LGBT people. LGBs had a greater incidence of mental problems than heterosexuals, according to the author's meta-analysis of literature on the prevalence of mental diseases among lesbians, gay men and bisexuals. According to the author, a hostile and stressful social environment caused by stigma, prejudice, and discrimination is to blame for the high frequency of mental health disorders among minorities. Prejudice incidents, expectancies of rejection, hiding and concealing and internalized homophobia are all part of the model's description of stress-inducing processes.Published
