Semp D (2007). A Public Silence: Sexual Orientation and Mental Health Services (Word Download).  So, if discrimination related to sexual orientation is directly connected to mental health problems for some MSM, then how well do mental health services address this issue?... . Further some participants were unable to disclose their sexuality in mental health services even though they considered it central to their mental health problems. This was the case for the two youngest men interviewed. Daniel explained how a medical and symptom based approach was a barrier to discussing his issues regarding his sexuality... They reported that staff generally do not ask clients about sexual orientation and they gave various reasons for this. One barrier to asking about sexuality is the perceived dominance of the medical model...  This focus on ‘mental illness’ reduces the chance that staff may see conversations about sexual orientation as important or relevant to their work. Instead, the medical model requires them to focus primarily on symptoms and diagnosis... Yet, homosexuality is marginalised, often remaining unacknowledged. Thus, when homosexuality is omitted for MSM it is not just their sexual behaviour that is ignored; rather, many other aspects of their lives are also ignored such as their relationships, important aspects of identity, and their experience of homonegative trauma... - Doubled up with stigma: gay men and mental illness in New Zealand (2009). - It's Harder To 'Come Out' About Mental Health Than Being Gay, UK.

Ministerial Advisory Committee on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Health and Wellbeing: Preface... The Ministerial Advisory Committee on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Health and Wellbeing (GLBTI MAC) in making its submission to the Because Mental Health Matters consultation paper wants to make a clear statement that the most effective prevention strategy to mental health problems in GLBTI communities would be to minimise and eliminate discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. To do this would require a significant whole of government commitment and approach but in the context of implementation of the Charter of Human Rights and the government’s response to the imminent release of the Equal Opportunity Review Final Report: An Equality Act for a Fairer Victoria it seems to the community members of the GLBTI MAC that the time is right... - Lesbians, gay men and bisexuals and mental health: This factsheet provides information on the types of mental distress experienced by LGB people, the social factors that affect their mental health, and the experiences of LGB people in mental health services.
