Lesbians not liking men - Social construct?

[Rev. Rye]

I've looked it up; from what I read (from the APA's own website), it seems that A) any rise in mental health problems for gay people are likely seem to be due to social rejection than anything biological, and B) specifically relating to lesbians, a study has been done; partly due to higher levels of education and mobility, and partly due to being part of supportive communities, the likelihood for mental illness between lesbians and their heterosexual sisters (note: "sister" in this case is not a metaphor; the study did study several pairs of sisters) was about the same, and the lesbians even reported higher self-esteem. Another study actually showed that the more "out" lesbians and bisexual women are, the more mentally healthy they become.
