“…[16,20,24] As such, we also expect to observe greater disparities by sexual orientation amongst female than male youth in the Australian data. Consistent with earlier studies of adolescents [15,19,20] and adults [1,3] , we also anticipate that Australian both-sex-attracted youth will report worse health/wellbeing than same-sex-attracted youth. Further, our data enable us to consider youth who report having no sexual attractions as a distinct analytic category.…”

“…There is previous evidence showing that belonging to a sexual minority is related to problems with adolescents’ mental health [ 20 , 53 ].

Similarly, in another study, it was found that sexual minority youth had reported significantly higher rates of suicidality and depression symptoms in comparison to heterosexual youth [ 57 ], with a recent study reporting the same results [ 58 ].…”

“…That communities and GSAs were protective for girls and not boys may also extend previous research showing that a number of health disparities may be widening for lesbian and bisexual girls, but not gay and bisexual boys (Fish et al 2018;Watson et al 2017Watson et al , 2018.
