Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Studies have shown that in communities where anti-gay prejudice is high, LGBTQ individuals have higher rates of suicide as a result of social rejection and discrimination. Additionally, cardiovascular health can be affected by stress and anxiety caused by discrimination and stigma. There is no evidence to suggest that rates of cancer, genetic disorders, or aggressive behavior are higher in LGBTQ individuals living in communities with anti-gay prejudice.
