Gay and bisexual boys and men experience social stigma associated with their sexual minority status that can negatively influence health. In addition, experiencing sexual orientation stigma may be linked to a decreased capacity to effectively form and maintain secure attachment relationships with parents, peers, and romantic partners across the life-course. We proposed that utilizing a framework that integrates the process by which sexual minority men develop attachment relationships in the context of sexual minority stress can lead to a better understanding of health and well-being among sexual minority boys and men. In addition, we highlight where future research can expand upon the presented model in order to better understand the developmental processes through which attachment and sexual minority stress influences health and health behaviors among sexual minority boys and men.
男同性恋者和双性恋男孩及男性会因其性少数群体身份而遭受社会污名，这可能会对他们的健康产生负面影响。此外，经历性取向污名可能与他们在整个生命过程中有效建立和维持与父母、同伴及恋爱伴侣的安全依恋关系的能力下降有关。我们提出，利用一个整合性少数群体男性在性少数群体压力背景下发展依恋关系过程的框架，能够更好地理解性少数群体男孩及男性的健康和幸福状况。此外，我们强调了未来研究可以在现有模型基础上进行拓展的方向，以便更好地理解依恋和性少数群体压力影响性少数群体男孩及男性健康和健康行为的发展过程。
