Some of the nation's top scientific and health organizations have presented peer-reviewed literature and consensus statements supporting the end of excluding same-sex couples from marriage because it hurts lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and their families. Health experts and medical organizations agree that treating a certain group of people differently creates social isolation and victimization, perpetuating negative stereotypes and alienating the group from health, family and social support systems.
