Gay men in Scotland are nearly eight times more likely to have attempted suicide in the past year and four times more likely to have taken drugs than heterosexual men, a survey has suggested.

I have told others that I liken it to whistling past the graveyard.
They yell, scream, threaten, and demand extra-Constitutional rights thinking that will wash away the deep down knowledge that what they do is against mankind and against God.
Nothing will make you more suicidal than bagpipes.
But of course if a 17 year old wrote a paper on this in high school stating these facts; he would be guilty of “bullying”.
Bingo!
In a way I can understand the urge to call people who suggest that homosexuality is a disorder. Looking back at how the Soviet Union put Christians in mental wards it is easy to see how suggesting that homosexuals are suffering from a mental disorder is just a step away from institutionalizing them involuntarily.
The majority of homosexuals function perfectly well in society and do not need to be committed however to suggest that they are not suffering from a disorder is just willful blindness (or political opportunism).
And in other news,looking straight into the sun can blind you.
Why do you say that? Women are actually more likely to attempt suicide than men. Granted, men are more likely than women to successfully commit suicide.
So a disproportionate amount of gay men commit suicide. If stats are consistent across the population (big if) then it would make sense for lesbians to have a similarly disproportionate amount of suicide attempts.
Either way, what is your ooint in saying that lesbian suicide rates are lower?
