CHICAGO -- Teen suicide attempts in the U.S. declined after same-sex marriage became legal and the biggest impact was among gay, lesbian and bisexual kids, a study found.

The research found declines in states that passed laws allowing gays to marry before the Supreme Court made it legal nationwide. The results don't prove there's a connection, but researchers said policymakers should be aware of the measures' potential benefits for youth mental health.

The results don;t make a connection, but we will still make this news, and have our readers make a connection.

Astounding..

Wait. What?

So in sum - gay teens don’t kill themselves because they now can get married.

So has there been a big spike in gay teen marriages???

So there was a commensurate rise in teen "marriages"?

Or did the poor mistreated little tykes just not off themselves because they knew they could, if they wanted to?

Chelsea Clinton tweeted this factoid yesterday.

See post #5 on that thread.

AP = All Propaganda

Don’t believe the Lying Leftist Media. They are presumed to be lying and we should assume that what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

Can we limit posting this b/s?

I understand that some posts of certain published lies can help in ferreting out the truth and can be very helpful. But much of the stream of almost endless Leftist media’s published lies posted on FR often has no redeeming value, gets people pissed off and possibly demoralized, and seems sometimes to even strengthen the lie.

We should be mostly publishing the truth on FR, not the lies, and as much good news as possible to bolster morale. We should find reliable sources that have already deconstructed the lie and replaced it with the truth and with a headline that says the truth. We need much more of that on FR IMO. The key is the headline and the first few sentences because not everyone has time to drill down. The endless stream of negative, lying headlines sabotages our purpose IMO.

This isn’t aimed particularity at you PROCON but to FReepers in general.

Yup, the narrative is out there now.

And if that Eevil Trump tries to have it reversed, it's because he hates gay teens, LOL.

I hear you, Jim, but as you well know, half, or at least many of the threads we post here are an attempt to have fun mocking the Left.

I know it can be frustrating to see, but remember that liberal trolls read here too, and our clarifying the fake news can often lead to them waking the hell up to the lies they've believed in the past.

My 2 cents.

Trump running for POTUS leads to decline in suicide attempts among gay teens.

Equally valid premise.

I guess my 2 cents is as much as we can, let’s post an article or blog that has the right headline and first few lines that does just what you say - mocking the Left.

All the gay males I have known in my life don’t seem to want to settle down, most just like having sex wherever they can get it, even if it means telling the other male they may want to settle down, then they get their fill of sex and then dump them.

Now they just wait until they get divorced or get beat up by their ‘partner’.

We need to keep voicing our beliefs that these type of threads are simply not in keeping with Jim’s stated goal that this site by a bastion for God, for country, for family and for morality.

Otherwise I predict a civil war on Free Republic.

If so, it’ll be a short war (on FR anyway). I am totally opposed to homosexualism. Anyone who doesn’t know that is blind. Anyone who doesn’t like that is free to post elsewhere.

FR is for God, family, country.
