None of this is surprising to we who have our eyes open. The rest of the article on the reasons is predictable bunk.

Exactly. Thanks for the post.

Over 10% of US gay men have over 1,000 different sexual partners.

[mrmeyer]

Unintended consequences of free will.

Yet we still lag far behind the straight and cis population when it comes to mental health, substance abuse and HIV rates.

We know....................Perhaps that is a CLUE......................

I would also note there is an exceptional amount of drug addiction and usage among the gay male community.

Wow. Mentally ill people kill themselves more than non-mentally ill people? Who would ever have guessed.

[ConservativeMind]

Could it be that the stereotypical gay person is expect to be open and flamboyant, while there’s no current law requiring others to agree and support that?

It’s likely these are fragile people or people who realized their lives are empty with the banality of wrapping one’s complete identity in nothing but “gayness?”

[FLT-bird]

Not surprising at all given that they’ve already shown themselves to be mentally ill.

Mind out of whack leads to the gay lifestyle. Mind out of whack leads to unhappiness and frustration.

[rktman]

Uh, let me think. Uh, probably because of the H8 that Trump supporters show to all glbtqxyzpbdsm entities? You know, the intolerance we have. /s

"Minority Stress" is pure BS.

Most homosexuals were sexually molested as children and the continued behavior is a coping mechanism that fails to resolve the inner conflict between the learned behavior and the natural desire for heterosexual relationships.

“” “” suicide had surpassed HIV as the leading cause of death among gay and bisexual men.”” “”

What a life! Why didn’t they mention murder which is higher rate with this group too.
That’s really gay.

It’s a mental illness doc!

[alloysteel]

Mental health, substance abuse and HIV rates are part and parcel of the whole gay lifestyle, if it may be called that.

LGBT is more of a “deathstyle”. It is sterile, stilted, and a grotesque parody of lives that human beings were meant to live in the brief time each of us spend upon this plane of existence.

Not evil, necessarily. Just - failed.

Gay Suicides Are On The Rise. This Epidemiologist Explains Why.

Scientist Travis Salway discovered that suicide had surpassed HIV as the leading cause of death for gay and bisexual men in Canada.

No. This doesn't explain anything.

Are they saying the homosexual community is used to having high death rates which used to be because of HIV but since HIV is now relatively treatable, homosexuals are now killing themselves to keep their death rates high?

[Moonman62]

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.

...

That’s because you are mentally ill.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Yet a psychologist, psychiatrist or therapist who suggests to a LGBT person, "You know, you really don't have to live this way" will lose their job, their license, and their future.

Go figure.

Suicide is Painless.

And if you remember in the original M*A*S*H movie, “Painless”, the dentist wanted to kill himself because he thought he was a ‘fairy’, when he couldn’t get himself aroused for a woman.
