You may see more removed comments in this thread than you are used to seeing elsewhere on reddit. On /r/science we have [strict comment rules](
https://www.reddit.com/r/science/wiki/rules#wiki_comment_rules) designed to keep the discussion on topic and about the posted study and related research. This means that comments that attempt to confirm/deny the research with personal anecdotes, jokes, memes, or other off-topic or low-effort comments are likely to be removed.
Because it can be frustrating to type out a comment only to have it removed or to come to a thread looking for discussion and see lots of removed comments, please take time to review our comment rules before posting.

2269 NinjaLanternShark From the study abstract:
> although relationship involvement predicted lower psychological distress for Black and gay/lesbian participants, the association was not present for White participants and, for bisexuals, relationship involvement predicted higher distress.
I'm not an academic researcher... but this seems like inconclusive data to me. If whites exhibit no correlation and bisexuals exhibit a *reverse* correlation... those seem like pretty significant anomalies.
747 majeric Does the study take into account risk of loss of that romantic relationship and how it might further isolate teens who now have to cope with the loss of a relationship *AND* coming out?
2629 Gutter7676 I would venture to say that any human, gay or not, benefit from romance and/or relationships.
121 Missora As a gay person I don’t know what this means and think the results are obviously cherry picked. It just so happens that everyone but black and gay people find relationships stressful? Ha... the dynamic of gay relationships is often so complex that it creates a ton of stress...id imagine most relationships are similar.
