Answer preview
Several societal determinants of health contribute to gays, lesbianism, bisexuals, and transgender individuals’ increased health risks. First, most LGBT people get rejected from families and friends when they come out in the limelight, increasing their risks of depression, anxiety, or adjustment disorders (Shattell & Chinn, 2014). Second, many gays, lesbians, and bisexual people engage mainly in sexual behaviors and get sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, anal and colon cancer, testicular, gonorrhea, and chlamydia much more than none-LGBT youth with limited access to LGBT screenings services.
