What is it about?
We combined the results of previous studies in which bisexual people reported how much discrimination they experienced from heterosexual and lesbian/gay people, as well as their levels of depression, anxiety, and psychological distress. Bisexual people reported greater depression, anxiety, and distress the more that they experienced anti-bisexual discrimination, especially from heterosexual people.
