People who are lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr have a variety of health needs. People who are lbian, gay, bisexual, or transgenr (LGBT) are members of every muny.

And is the most signifint of s kd to exame muny strsors among gay and bisexual fdgs reveal what many the muny know all too well: that gay and bisexual men n be pretty harsh wh one another and wh ourselv tryg to measure up.

But some likely have a distct impact pendg on where a gay or bisexual man falls along the stat-based peckg orr that a lot of people talked about perceivg as a e of strs. To the extent that we know ourselv through the reflectn of others, what we fd is that gay and bisexual men might be particularly likely to size themselv up g the same standards of attractivens and succs and masculy that they e to size up their potential sex partners, which n be particularly groups did you fd were disproportnately affected?

It pends on the class of strsor, but broadly speakg, men of lor were more likely to perceive what we ll gay muny strs. We also found that younger men pared to olr men were more strsed, and that bisexual men were ls likely to experience this type of gay muny strs.
