Despite increasing acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, at least in some circles, adults who identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual are more likely than those who identify as straight to have serious thoughts of suicide and mental health conditions including major depressive episodes, and they are more likely to misuse substances like alcohol or drugs, according to a new US government report.

The report, published Tuesday, comes from the annual National Survey on Drug Use and Health, sponsored by the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. It’s included a question about how the participant identifies their sexual orientation since 2015.

The data in the report, which focuses on LGB adults, comes...(read more)

Three reasons why: (1) lack of “acceptance”, (2) climate change, and (3) conservatives/MAGA/Trump.

ADD to the list, they have more physical complications. Like the wall of their rectum needs to be sewed up, or the sphinter muscles on the anus need to be operated on. Aids risk, as well as herpes... it goes with the lifestyle. Try to imagine repair a rectum after a gerbil has been inserted into it?

I suspect the numbers for “trans” are far worse.

Homosexuals have mental health issues? Gee, who guessed that one?

Once upon a time the psychiatrists manual diagnosed homosexuality as a mental issue. Maybe some day this will swing back to reality.

The latest trend is tranny mutilation, a surgical procedure that probably cannot be reversed. I can see the suicide rate for these folks doubling that of just a plain homo. So sad it’s being laid out as “normal” by our friends in the rat party.

My post was based on sarcasm and what the leftists would say. You post is based on reality.

I think that jump in suicide rate is already there.

There's an episode of the classic BBC comedy "Fawlty Towers" which revolves around Basil (one of the main characters) and a guest at the hotel he manages...that guest being a psychiatrist.

After having witnessed many of Basil's crazy behaviors during his stay he says to his wife (who's also a physician) in that typical low keyed British way "there's enough material there for an entire conference".

If you study these alphabet freaks carefully you'll find that there's always enough material there for an entire conference.

The reality is simple:

Mentally ill narcissists always have had more mental health and substance use problems!

It’s what happens when you’re delusional and don’t seek psychiatric help.

Maybe it’s because their partners or hookups don’t look like the pornstars they fantasize about and they’re miserable.

Mental health issues travel in clusters.

Homos already suffer from a major mental illness and aberrant sexual desires.

No surprise they have more.

They are actually admitting this?

Or are they trying to implicate conservatives so they can blame them?
