I came across this article on twitter from a conservative named Josh Jordon who was pretty outraged at the claim even going as far as blaming the church for the high suicide rate.

"This is disgusting.

The idea that the high rate of suicide w/ LGBTQ *youth* in Utah is because they sleep around so much to develop "self-hatred" is insulting. Their suicide rate doubled from 2011-15, which is when the LDS church unveiled a new policy on excluding LGBTQ youth."

Even going as far as to blame Prop 8 for the misery of homosexuals which I could not believe I was hearing from him.

"My tweet is clear that that policy was implemented in the last year of the time-frame. Point is that the culture in Utah has been increasingly hostile to the LGBT community since Prop 8, which is causing unquestionable harm to those who were *born* w/ a predisposition to be gay."

Mental illness contributes.

Drug, drink to forget the ugly acts they commit with each other.

Guilt is the culprit, methinks.

Over 10% of gay men in the USA have had over 1,000 different partners.

There’s no one to tell them that sexual depravity is mentally and physically unhealthy. Anyone who tries is labelled a bigot.

They are committing suicide against their souls. They are just completing the act. The leftist culture embraces this just like their communism killed off the productive and left the rest to starve.

The high suicide rate among gay teens or teens who think they are gay probably doesn't have much to do with too many sex partners.

So too, the suicide rates among older men, gay or straight or whatever, would at most be indirectly related to promiscuity.

The LGBBLT “community” polyi ized and weaponize promiscuity some time ago. Read Randy Shilts’ “And the Band Played On”

Being a sexual deviant probably contributes also.
