Finally, a good streak!

So, if you guys have been following my posts, this has not been an easy research paper for me, since it has been so difficult for me to find articles, books, etc. on my very narrow subject. Therefore, I have widened my pool by making my research question: How does being in the LGBT community effect mental health? This will give me a much wider range in choosing resources for this paper.

So, looking for an article ended up being incredibly fast, which I was definitely not prepared for, haha. I went to the Chapman online library and followed the steps provided in our handout. The keywords I typed were LGBT + mental health and loads of articles popped up! I feel like I could have been able to use so many articles however, the one I chose to use focused on the LGB population (did not include Trans, which is irritating) and how their mental health is different from the heterosexual population due to the stress that minorities, specifically the LGB population, goes through on an every day basis.

I think this article will be immensely helpful for my paper and I am really excited to get deeper into this article and find quotes and examples to use for my paper! Is everyone else doing this well on their search?
