Are Religious Californians Really Harming the Mental Health of People Who Identify as LGBTQ?

According to the article linked here, “Politicians are saying Californians of many religions are causing people who identify as LGBTQ to exhibit mental health disparities. The research does not support this claim.”

 

This goes against the narrative that traditional religious beliefs are harmful to everyone who has LGBTQ feelings or experiences.

 

In light of the research referred to in this article, is religion hurting or helping those who identify as LGBTQ?
