Abstract
This meta-analysis compared lesbian versus heterosexual women, gay versus heterosexual men, and lesbian women versus gay men to determine if there were differences in body image. Results suggest lesbian women are more similar than different compared to heterosexual women, and gay men experience poorer body image compared to heterosexual men.
