“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] As surveys of adolescents in Connecticut, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Seattle have demonstrated, even a measure of sexual orientation as indirect as perceived homosexual sexual orientation elicits disturbing correlations with deleterious health outcomes. 17,18 When survey instruments and research designs use different sexual orientation criteria, vital comparisons of data between localities become difficult because some population parameters overlap or are mutually exclusive.…”

A paper supported by funding from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation explores these concerns and suggests that the department (1) create work groups to examine the collection of sexual orientation data; (2) create a set of guiding principles to govern the process of selecting standard definitions and measures; (3) recognize that racial/ethnic, immigrant-status, age, socioeconomic, and geographic differences must be taken into account when standard measures of sexual orientation are selected; (4) select a minimum set of standard sexual orientation measures; and (5) develop a long-range strategic plan for the collection of sexual orientation data.

“…In addition, young men reporting same-sex sexual partners were more likely than their heterosexual peers to carry a weapon. 3 Similarly, a study of the 1993 Massachusetts YRBS found that among sexually active youths, those who had engaged in samesex sexual behavior were more likely to have been threatened or injured with a weapon at school and to have been in 10 or more physical fights. 4 Students in the 1995 Massachusetts YRBS who identified themselves as LGB reported higher frequencies of having been threatened with a weapon at school, fighting, and injuries from fighting that required medical attention; they also were more likely to report weapon and gun carrying.…”

A B S T R A C TObjectives. Recent national attention to hate crimes committed against lesbian, gay, and bisexual youths has highlighted the need to understand this group's experiences of violence. Using nationally representative data, we examine the associations between romantic attraction and experiences of violence, as well as the risk of witnessing violence and perpetrating violence against others.Methods. Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health were examined. Youths reporting samesex and both-sex romantic attractions were compared with those reporting other-sex attractions. Survey logistic regression was used to control for sample design effects.Results. Youths who report samesex or both-sex romantic attraction are more likely to experience extreme forms of violence than youths who report othersex attraction. Youths reporting same-sex and both-sex romantic attractions are also more likely to witness violence. The higher incidence of violence perpetrated by youths attracted to the same sex is explained by their experiences of violence.Conclusions. These findings provide strong evidence that youths reporting same-sex or both-sex romantic attraction are at greater risk for experiencing, witnessing, and perpetrating violence. (Am

“…This process of disclosure, or "coming out," however, is one of the most stressful processes for an LGBTQ person because it is fraught with the risk of harassment and victimization (Bregman, Malik, Page, Makyen, & Lindahl, 2013;Hershberger, Pilkington, & D'Augelli, 1997;Ryan, Legate, & Weinstein, 2015). Several studies have shown that young LGBTQ individuals are at a higher risk for bullying, violence, and verbal and physical sexual harassment (Coker, Austin, & Schuster, 2010;DuRant, Krowchuk, & Sinal, 1998;Saewyc, 2011;Williams, Connolly, Pepler, & Craig, 2003).…”
