One of the indescribable aspects of being a member of a minority group is knowing that things are better than they have ever been and, simultaneously, not good enough.
The LGBTQ community has won the right to same-sex marriage and achieved unprecedented visibility in politics, media and entertainment. Yet we still lag far behind the straight and cis population when it comes to mental health, substance abuse and HIV rates.
Travis Salway is an epidemiologist trying to close this gap. In 2014, he discovered that in Canada, suicide had surpassed HIV as the leading cause of death among gay and bisexual men.

Imagine that. Go against nature and what all humans know at some level; that homosexuality and transgenderism are both wrong. Even leaving God and all religions out of the equation; one cannot fool nature and the natural order of things.
Having said that; I still have a measure of compassion for those who are mentally ill and who cannot correct this mental imbalance through no fault of their own. Those who choose those lifestyles are a different story but for those who are born this way; they have my pity and some understanding.
Maybe one day science and medicine will advance enough to correct this mental illness.
No one ever wants to admit that people who are mentally unstable are more apt to commit suicide, and that Homosexuals, lesbians and transgenders are by historical definition mentally unstable. When you then celebrate their illness instead of trying to treat it you just complicate matters. They know they are different, not normal, but when you feed the delusion that they are the normal ones while the rest of us are the abnormal ones it messes them up even more. They want it to be true, but they know it isn’t. They are living a lie constructed and promoted by society and eventually it becomes too much for many. They learn that unfettered sex, bodily mutilation and unhealthy desires do not make them happy and can’t give them what they really want, the normalcy that the rest of us enjoy in our lives. At that point many kill themselves because it is the only way to kill the inner demons they live with daily.
“...knowing that things are better than they have ever been and, simultaneously, not good enough....Yet we still lag far behind the straight and cis population when it comes to mental health, substance abuse and HIV rates.”
That is because you homos are crazy, you poke your tongue and you junk in someone’s pooper, and you take drugs to try to get over how miserable you are. Things will NEVER be “good enough”, because deep inside you know the problem is you.
Since the 1960’s the left has been encouraging people to act in self-destructive and socially undesirable ways. But the left never accepts blame when the inevitable negative consequences occur.
Those who are, by definition, mentally ill lag behind normal people on mental illness. Who would have guessed? Those who engage in shockingly dangerous - and gross - activities that spread HIV lag behind normal people on HIV rates? Another shocker.
That’s because you are mentally ill.
It’s a mental illness and it’s practically illegal to give them the treatment they need. Not surprising that they go over the edge and kill themselves.
Are you actually saying that God could not see this coming?
Homosexuals cluster with other mentally ill people in all these metrics. They commit suicide well above the societal mean (in all countries no matter how leftist they are), they are more likely to commit crimes and be the victim of crimes. The more out in the open they are the worse their life span is.
They used to teach this at the university level. I doubt they do that anymore.
But if they do will society allow it’s use? They have already criminalized conversion therapy in some states and Canada.
A homosexual will not transmit their genetic information to remaining generations of humanity. It must be really depressing to be a homosexual, arriving into your 40’s and 50’s without children, and knowing that you will leave nothing behind on this rock when it’s done with you.
Children that live longer than we do and the knowledge that they and their children will NEVER forget you is a profound source of hope and joy. More important than those comforts though, I have a knowledge of and faith in a God that loves me even though He knows everything about me and has forgiven me every time I have fallen short of the mark. Pretty incomprehensible how THAT happens, but it is the central truth of my life.
God is not mocked.
Excellent comment.
Disabled people who use wheelchairs don't want to be "the guy in the wheelchair".
The woman with cancer doesn't want to be "the woman with cancer".
People with challenges sometimes say "I am not my disease" -- which I think it a good and positive attitude to take. They are people. That's enough.
But, as you say, modern culture pretty much demands that the homosexual be designated as "the homosexual" in all interactions. He or she can't really be a person. They are busy full-time being "the homosexual". Nobody really want that role.
Homosexuals have been hurt and traumitized at some point or points in their lives. All the attempts at legitimization and normalization will never remove the plain fact the homosexual has been damaged, and that homosexuality is a perversion of health, and a coping mechanism.
Normalization of homosexuality puts the focus on homosexuality, and not on the underlying trauma. It is a cruel thing to do to the homosexual.
Three percent of hetero men and six percent of hetero women have attempted suicide? This seems a bit high.
It’s always someone else’s fault, not?
Could it be that.....................?
Nah.
Given that most homosexuals were sexually abused as children, what they've done is outlaw RAPE THERAPY.
Not everyone I spoke to over the years rejected what I had to say out of hand. I once corresponded with an English ex-Dominican. I was ecstatic to learn that he was gay, and was eventually kicked out of his order for refusing to remain in the closet. He included an e-mail address in one of his books, and I wrote him, wanting to know if his experience of life as a homosexual was significantly different from mine. I presumed it must be, since he had written a couple of books, passionately defending the right of homosexuals to a place in the Church. His response to me was one of the last nails in the coffin of my life as a gay man. To my astonishment, he admitted that his experiences were not unlike mine. All he could suggest was that I keep trying, and eventually everything would work out. In other words, this brilliant man, whose books had meant so much to me, had nothing to suggest except that I keep doing the same thing, while expecting a different result. There was only one reasonable conclusion. I would be nuts if I took his advice. It took me twenty years, but I finally reached the conclusion that I did not want to be insane.
