In a startling revelation, a U.S. study has found that lesbians, gays, and bisexual teenagers (LGB) are more likely to be targeted and punished by their school authorities, police and courts.
The research conducted by researchers from Yale University is the first ever study to document teen sexual orientation and punishment at a large scale.
The study, published in the journal 'Pediatrics’ on Monday, highlights the extent of bias and intimidation experienced by non-heterosexual teens.
Researchers aver that the bias against gay, lesbian and bisexual youth might extend to adults as well.
