the negative results of homophobia on gays, lesbians and bisexuals (GLB),
and the economic impact of such negative effects….The reviewed research
showed that GLB and heterosexuals are equivalent in terms of
psychological and psychosocial health and functioning, but that GLB have
a shorter life expectancy and face health risks and social problems at a
greater rate than heterosexuals. The reasons for these increased problems is
the chronic stress placed on GLB from coping with society’s negative
