Daily exposure to negative campaign messages decreases same-sex couples’ psychological and relational well-being (2016, unknown): “Thus, the act of denying same-sex couples the right to marry and their accompanying exclusion from the rights of other (heterosexual) citizens, likely diminishes same-sex couples’ well-being (Herdt & Kertzner, 2006; King & Bartlett, 2006).”

The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People: Building a Foundation for Better Understanding (2011, background): “A large body of research has shown that positive health outcomes are associated with marriage (Herdt and Kertzner, 2006; Herek, 2006).”
