Sexual minority research focuses on the study of individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT), as well as those who experience same-sex attraction or engage in same-sex sexual behavior. This research area seeks to understand the unique challenges and experiences faced by sexual minority individuals, including discrimination, stigma, mental health issues, coming out, relationships, and identity development. Researchers in this area often work to promote equality and acceptance for sexual minorities, as well as to improve healthcare and support services for this population.
