Implication

Census survey analysis reveals elevated long-term health conditions in same-sex couples facing structural stigma, highlighting the need for enhanced minority protections.

Key Points

Elevated structural stigma is linked to increased long-term health conditions for same-sex couples, with the greatest burdens observed in cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
Adjusted odds of any long-term health condition reached 1.63 in areas with the highest structural stigma, compared to 1.56 in regions with the lowest anti-equality voting levels.
Logistic regression analyses mapped 2017 marriage equality voting to 2021 census survey records, highlighting how structural stigma undermines health protections for sexual minorities.
