"This study provides evidence that supports the belief of researchers and advocates that national policies protecting the human rights of lesbian, gay and bisexual people have an impact on individual development," University of Delaware Assistant Professor Eric K. Layland said. "For LGB people, many of these identity and social milestones occur during the critical developmental period of adolescence.
