Nathaniel Frank , founder and editor of the "What We Know" Research Portal , an initiative of Cornell University's Center for the Study of Inequality , argues in the Washington Post that evidence of a link between anti-LGBT discrimination and health harms is robust and well-supported.
"In a trio of cases heard in October, the Supreme Court weighed whether discrimination against LGBT people should be legal," Frank writes in his op-ed. "Over the course of those and related cases, a handful of scholars who oppose legal protections for LGBT Americans claimed in a legal brief that 'research about discrimination and its effects' on LGBT people is 'deficient and the claims based on it unsupported.'"
