    A lack of funding, a glut of stigma: How Ohio LGBTQ+ health outcomes are impacted

    A new report highlights significant mental health disparities among Ohio's LGBTQ+ community, with gay, lesbian, and bisexual residents 2.6 times more likely and transgender individuals 3.5 times more likely to report frequent mental distress compared to non-LGBTQ+ Ohioans. The report cites a lack of funding, resources, and data as key barriers to addressing these disparities, exacerbated by stigma, discrimination, and legislation banning gender-affirming care for minors.
