同性恋病态化的最近历史仍然对一般公众，特别是精神卫生专业人员产生强烈影响。与早期对男女同性恋者性取向的研究相比，对男女同性恋者心理健康问题的实证研究相对较少。无论研究人员选择性行为，自我定义，或在同性恋和同性恋社区团体的成员资格来定义性取向将对结果产生影响。对包括女同性恋者、男同性恋者和异性恋妇女和男子在内的心理健康问题的研究将允许对性别与性取向的相对突出性进行检查。最后，女同性恋者和男同性恋者在社会中的经历可能会增加他们患某些心理健康问题的风险，并可能保护他们免受其他心理健康问题的影响。
The very recent history of pathologizing homosexuality still has a strong impact on the public in general and mental health professionals in particular. In contrast to the early research on sexual reorientation of lesbians and gay men, there is relatively little empirical research on the mental health issues of lesbians and gay men. Whether researchers choose to define sexual orientation by sexual behavior, self-definition, or membership in lesbian and gay community groups will have an impact on the results. Research on mental health issues that include lesbians, gay men, and heterosexual women and men would allow an examination of the relative salience of gender versus sexual orientation. Finally, the experiences of lesbians and gay men in society may place them at increased risk for some mental health problems and may protect them from other mental health problems.
