Sexual minority individuals (lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and others; LGBQ+) have higher rates of mental health problems compared to heterosexual individuals (e.g., Rogers et al., 2021). Minority stress theory (Meyer, 2003) proposes that LGBQ+ individuals have higher rates of mental health problems due to the results of institutionalized…
