People who identify as le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, q***r, or questioning face higher rates of social stigma and discrimination than those in the sexual majority. They also face a greater risk of violence and harassment simply because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
This stigmatization contributes to higher rates of substance abuse and addiction among LGBTQ individuals compared to the general population, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
