We examined whether same-sex marriage was associated with nonspecific psychological distress among self-identified lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults, and whether it had the potential to offset mental health disparities between lesbian, gay, and bisexual persons and heterosexuals. Methods. Population-based data (weighted) were from the 2009 adult (aged 18-70 years) California Health Interview Survey. Within-group analysis of lesbian, gay, and bisexual persons included 1166 individuals (weighted proportion=3.15%) ; within-group heterosexual analysis included 35 608 individuals (weighted proportion=96.58%) ; and pooled analysis of lesbian, gay, and bisexual persons and heterosexuals included 36774 individuals. Results. Same-sex married lesbian, gay, and bisexual persons were significantly less distressed than lesbian, gay, and bisexual persons not in a legally recognized relationship ; married heterosexuals were significantly less distressed than nonmarried heterosexuals. In adjusted pairwise comparisons, married heterosexuals had the lowest psychological distress, and lesbian, gay, and bisexual persons who were not in legalized relationships had the highest psychological distress (P<. psychological distress was not significantly distinguishable among same-sex married lesbian gay and bisexual persons in registered domestic partnerships heterosexuals. conclusions. being a legally recognized relationship marriage particular appeared to diminish mental health differentials between heterosexuals persons. researchers must continue examine potential benefits of which is at least part public issue.>
