Suicide and Suicide Risk in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Populations: Review and Recommendations (2010, methodology): “The Quebec study similarly identified same-sex orientation in 4 of 55 suicide adolescent suicide victims and none of the community control subjects (Renaud et al., 2010).”
Minority stress and physical health among sexual minority individuals (2013, background): “…(i.e., lesbian, gay, and bisexual men and women, or LGBs) are at greater risk for health problems than heterosexuals, because LGBs face greater exposure to social stress related to prejudice and stigma (Conron et al., 2010; Institute of Medicine, 2011; Meyer, 2003a, b; Sandfort et al., 2006).”
Health Disparities Among Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Older Adults: Results From a Population-Based Study (2013, background): “, lesbian and bisexual adults may have a higher risk of CVD, possibly attributable to higher prevalence of obesity and smoking.(10) It is likely that disparities in obesity and smoking in early life influence disparities in CVD in later life among lesbians and bisexual women.”
Minority Stress and Physical Health Among Sexual Minorities (2013, background): “For example, people who identify as LGB (Conron et al., 2010; Landers, Mimiaga, & Conron, 2011) and those who report being in a same-sex relationship (Heck & Jacobson, 2006) report more asthma diagnoses than do people who identify as heterosexual or report being in a different-sex relationship.”

(2010) find that GLBs are more likely than heterosexuals to report sexual victimization, but that bisexual women and gay men have higher risks than lesbians and bisexual men.”
