Forty-five percent of young LGBTQ people seriously considered attempting suicide in 2021, according to a survey published Wednesday by the LGBTQ mental health nonprofit the Trevor Project. It's the third consecutive year that rates of suicidal ideation have increased among LGBTQ youth, the organization said.
"We must recognize that LGBTQ young people face stressors simply for being who they are that their peers never have to worry about," CEO and executive director of the Trevor Project Amit Paley said in a statement.
For the nonprofit's fourth edition of its National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health, researchers surveyed nearly 34,000 LGBTQ people between the ages of 13 and 24 in the U.S. between September 20 and December 31, 2021. With 45% of respondents being people of color and 48% being transgender or nonbinary, the annual survey is "one of the most diverse surveys of LGBTQ youth ever conducted," according to the Trevor Project.
Researchers found that 53% of those who seriously considered suicide in the past year were transgender and nonbinary youth, and that 33% were cisgender young people. Fourteen percent of LGBTQ youth attempted suicide last year, including nearly one in five transgender and nonbinary youth, as well as nearly one in 10 cisgender youth.
LGBTQ youth of color considered and attempted suicide at higher rates than their White counterparts, with the highest percentages among Native American, Black and Middle Eastern or North African persons, according to the survey. By sexual orientation, pansexual young people of color, queer and questioning youth reported higher rates of considered and attempted suicide. Transgender males, nonbinary or genderqueer and transgender females considered and attempted suicide at the highest rates.

They can do all the LBQXYZ crap they want to wherever they want to as much as they want to. They can watch show after show movie after movie that depicts them supportively and yet are so filled with despair they’re contemplating suicide.

Shame on the twisted, selfish adults who deliberately led children into this depravity.

You tell children that their sexual abuse was all their own fault, that they were just "born that way" and you wonder why they are suicidal?

They’re considering suicide because they realize that they screwed themselves by cutting their junk off.🙄

There is no doubt that many mentally ill people not just the LGBTQ afflicted frequently contemplate suicide.

And likely 80+% of them are underperforming academically.
These kids are taught to be ridiculously self-absorbed and angry. When that happens, they reject externalities and percieve it all as authoritative and abusive.
The harm being done these kids is tremendous.

A certain percentage of todays youth will kill themselves no matter what. Better for most of them to be the freaky fags, drag queens,and mentally defective transexual weirdos.

They all say that they are suicidal because it helps to expedite the process of getting their Rx requirements.

Your comment is exactly right. Those 2 things are interlinked. And it’s not because society is so repressive. It is because their proclivities are an indication of abnormal mental health.

"Researchers found that 53% of those who seriously considered suicide in the past year were transgender and nonbinary youth, and that 33% were cisgender young people. Fourteen percent of LGBTQ youth attempted suicide last year, including nearly one in five transgender and nonbinary youth, as well as nearly one in 10 cisgender youth. "Which should deter people from that choice, and reveal such as making the wrong one. Instead, it is defended. Despite:

Also according to the CDC (chart), in 2017 male to male sexual contact was the mode of transmission in 92% of new HIV cases among male youth aged 13 to 24, and MSM accounted for 81% of diagnoses among males and 70% of all new HIV diagnoses, and 2 out of every 3 diagnoses in the United States. Which is despite only representing approximately 4% of the male population). And which practice (historically) has resulted in a greatly increased incidence of other infectious diseases and premature death. (Even when their disease is well controlled, people with HIV can develop aging-related conditions such as cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, kidney and liver disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive impairment decades ahead of their HIV-negative counterparts, and their life expectancy is significantly reduced.) And which practice is primarily responsible for more than 700,000 people with AIDS having died (as of 2017 since 1981) in the USA since the beginning of the epidemic - despite decades of attempting to tame it into being "safe." (Worldwide, 77.3 million people have contracted HIV and 35.4 million have died of AIDS-related illnesses since the beginning of the pandemic in 1981 (https://health.usnews.com/conditions/hiv-aids/articles/hiv-statistics)
New HIV Diagnoses Among Youth by Transmission Category and Sex (2017) in the US and Dependent Areas, 2017
In 2019, gay and bisexual men (men who have sexual relations with other men: (MSM) accounted for 69% (25,552) of the 36,801 new HIV diagnoses and 86% of diagnoses among males in the United States and 6 dependent areas (https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/statistics/overview/ataglance.html, accessed Mon, 09/20/21) (Fig. 6). In 2019 in the United States and 6 dependent areas, diagnoses of HIV infection for adolescents and young adults attributed to MMSC (approximately 83%, including 3% MMSC and IDU) and those attributed to heterosexual contact (13%) accounted for approximately 97% of diagnoses in the United States. Asian female adults and adolescents had the largest percentage (93%) of diagnoses of HIV infection attributed to heterosexual contact, followed by Black/African American (91%), and Hispanic/Latino (87%) female adults and adolescents. In 2019, Black/African American children made up approximately 14% of the population of children but accounted for 57% of diagnoses of HIV infection among children. (https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/library/reports/hiv-surveillance/vol-32/content/special-focus-profiles.html)
In addition to which is the financial cost which has been going for decades:
More God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with. Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47

People with real gender dysphoria have been known of for a long time, as an extremely rare medical condition, as uncommon as hermaphrodites.
But there are a sizeable number of homosexuals and heterosexuals with physical, psychological, and psychiatric morbidities that they pathologically intertwine with their sexuality, when in fact they are unrelated.
