When compared to the general population, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community in the United States experiences significantly poorer health care delivery, as well as severe health consequences. Whenever LGBT individuals are subjected to social discrimination in a heterosexist culture, they are more likely to suffer from a condition known as "minority stress," which has severe mental and physical health consequences. Based on research published in the medical and social sciences literature, it appears that the legal and social acceptance of same-sex marriage has had a positive impact on the health of this at-risk community. Improved outcomes are expected as a result of increased access to health care provided by marital benefits under federal or state law, as well as a result of reducing the impact of institutionalized stigma on the sexual minority community.
