Gay Men & Stress

Stress-hormone differences identified among gay men

Increased stigma and discrimination can affect circadian HPA-axis functioning, say researchers. The majority of previous studies have been conducted among white heterosexuals, with very little research examining HPA-axis functioning between different minorities. Individuals who identify as both sexual and racial minorities may experience increased stigma and discrimination that can affect this HPA-axis functioning. Now, researchers have examined differences in diurnal cortisol rhythm between young, self-identified, white gay men and black gay men. Ref. Source 9m.

Stress and Men Gay

Are they saying this has to do with them being gay or just the added stress of being gay when you're a minority in society?
