The research described the value in identifying the difficulties experienced by sexual minority youth.

One negative factor associated with an LGBTQ identity was feeling the need to hide it from others such as teachers and from the community and their families.

 * In this article LGBTQ youth often fear being misunderstood and report fear of harassment due to gender identity or sexual orientation. Improving access to gender-affirming care is an important means of improving health outcomes for the transgender population. LGBTQ+ people experience a number of health disparities. They're at higher risk of certain conditions, and have less access to health care. For example, LGBTQ+ people have higher rates of HPV infection. Which makes things worst for those individuals because they are more likely to be refused  for health care services or be harassed by health care providers. In order to reduce these issues we need provided specific training on LGBTQ+ health issues for health providers and overall educate healthcare, teachers and more on LGBTQ+ health.

 * In this article we get introduced to the findings that indicate that GSAs and LGBTQ focused policies are distinctly and mutually important for fostering safer and more supportive school climates for youth. The negative outcomes experienced by LGBTQ youth, has shown that here is a need to cultivate protective factors. Students in the United States spend hours in school and schools are places where LGBTQ youth may experience stigma and discrimination. LGBTQ students experience verbal harassment at school, they are called  “gay” used to hurt them or just use it in a negative way, and just general more prone to getting into physical fights, threatened or injured with a weapon, and bullied. In order to fix these problems, schools need to start formative research on the role of protective factors such as school connectedness, supportive educators, anti-bullying policies. The article's purpose was to look at current research on protective factors that may shape the safety of LGBTQ students, as well as key research  on protective factors in schools in order to improve them and make a change for these youths' lives.
