Positive environments are important to help all youth thrive. However, the health needs of LGBT Youth can differ from their heterosexual peers. On this page, find resources from the CDC, other government agencies, and community organizations for LGBT Youth, their friends, educators, parents, and family members to support positive environments.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The non-elected bureaucrats of the constitutionally undefined CDC are not only blatantly ignoring that the politically correct, desperate Democratic vote-winning LGBT agenda is constitutionally unprotected, but also that healthcare a state power issue, not the business of the feds.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
In other words, Democratic CDC bureaucrats are wrongly attempting to expand the already unconstitutionally big federal government's powers.
Emphasizing that Democrats will always find a way to weaponize government power against the people, Congress needs to establish a court that does nothing but hear alleged federal and state violations of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
"14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof [emphases added]. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
The Section 3 court would undoubtedly put Congress out of business right away!
Any member of Congress who is not on record as supporting a veto override of a bill to establish a Section 3 court needs to get primaried in 2024.
The bottom line is that ALL the states desperately need to effectively "secede" from the unconstitutionally big federal government by repealing the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments.
You obviously believe that the Constitution means what is actually written down.
You cite an opinion from 1936. During that quaint, old-fashioned time people actually believed that Congress had very little power to make things illegal. So Congress had to resort to putting taxes on things and then make the taxes ridiculously high, like the $200 tax stamp for automatic weapons or a tax on marihuana which they then didn’t issue the stamps for.
But an enlightened SCOTUS told us in Wickard v Filburn that ‘interstate’ didn’t really mean interstate and that Congress could pass virtually any law it wanted as long as it touched on ‘commerce’ even commerce strictly within a state’s borders.

So - the CDC is supporting deviant sexual behavior? The very same sexual deviancy that is responsible for the rapid spread and mutations of the majority of STDs, including AIDS, drug-resistant syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and who know what?
Insanity.
Although only approximately 7% of adult and adolescent males reported having had male-to-male sexual contact at some point in their lives, 82% of HIV infections among males in 2018 were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact. (CDC: Estimated HIV Incidence and Prevalence in the
United States, 2015–2019P. 7)
92% of HIV infections among men aged 13 to 24 was attributed to male-to-male sexual contact, and young gay and bisexual men accounted for 83% (6,385) of all new HIV diagnoses in people aged 13 to 24 in 2019, and 81% of diagnoses of HIV infection among all Adolescents and Young Adults.
There were 16,350 deaths in 2017 alone among adults and adolescents diagnosed with HIV in the United States and 6 dependent areas. [like as is usually the case with deaths attributed to the flu and COVID-19, deaths attributed to AIDS refers to killing indirectly].
For the receptive sodomite the estimated average chance of contracting HIV can range from 1.38% - about one transmission occurring for every 71 exposures, male or female - (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/chances-of-getting-hiv) to over 20% - equivalent to 1 transmission per 5 exposures via unprotected sex with an HIV-positive person who has acute HIV infection.. (https://stanfordhealthcare.org/medical-conditions/sexual-and-reproductive-health/hiv-aids/causes/risk-of-exposure.html)
In 2016 the rate of people living with HIV per 100,000 population was 368, with the death rate being 6. Male-to-male sexual contact made up 82.4% of HIV infections among males in 2017, while heterosexual contact made up 85.7% of HIV infections among females. The rate of Black males living with an HIV diagnosis is 5.6 times that of White males. The rate of Black females living with an HIV diagnosis is 17.6 times that of White females. The rate of Hispanic/Latino males living with an HIV diagnosis is 2.5 times that of White males. The rate of Hispanic/Latina females living with an HIV diagnosis is 4.2 times that of White females. (https://aidsvu.org/local-data/united-states)
The South has the highest number of people living with HIV, but if population size is taken into account, the Northeast has the highest rate of people living with HIV.
One of the diseases that is far more prevalent among MSM than other population groups is that of anal cancer, which is diagnosed in about 2 people out of every 100,000 people in the general population. In contrast, it is estimated that MSMs that are not infected with HIV are 20 times more likely to be diagnosed with anal cancer. HPV is present in approximately 65% of HIV negative MSMs and 95% of MSMs who are HIV positive. Anal cancer is caused by the same strains of HPV (Human Papillomavirus) that cause cervical cancer in women. (https://cancer-network.org/cancer-information/gay-men-and-cancer/anal-cancer-hiv-and-gaybisexual-men)
Also reported, "People living with HIV in Canada had eight times the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other non-AIDS-related dementia as their HIV-negative counterparts, and they were diagnosed 12.5 years earlier [which in part may be due to more medical attention], according to an analysis published in BMJ Open. They also had higher rates of several other age-related chronic conditions....Antiretroviral treatment has been associated with kidney damage and cardiovascular disease, and viral hepatitis and alcohol use—both common among HIV-positive people—can cause liver disease." (https://www.poz.com/article/people-hiv-diagnosed-dementia-13-years-earlier)
Thus this practice has been 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. (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)
And while the US rate has fallen by nearly half from 2010 to 2017, (https://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/2020/hiv-related-death-rate.html) it remains that the predominate means of HIV transmission is that of sodomy, (https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/statistics.html) despite decades of attempting to tame it into being "safe."
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 2019, among all Black/African American persons, males accounted for 76% of HIV infections, most of which (82%) were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact. (P. 6)In the 2015 UNAIDS (Joint United Nations Program on
HIV/AIDS) report, studies in sub-Saharan Africa found
prevalence rates of HIV infection ranging from 6 to 37%
among MSM
As the observed prevalence rate of HIV in the general population was between 0.1 and 19%, the prevalence rate among men who have sex with men (MSM) was often 13 to 17 times higher."
In addition are CDC stats that also include many STDs, which mainly are a result of heterosexual fornication.
In 2021 the CDC estimated that 1 in 5 people in the U.S. have a sexually transmitted infection and at a cost to the U.S. healthcare system of billions of dollars annually. (https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/p0125-sexualy-transmitted-infection.html)
Half of all sexually active people will get an STD by the time they reach 25. (https://medalerthelp.org/blog/std-statistics/)
Also relevant, by 2021 the percentage of 18-24-year-olds who were married was 5% for men and 8% for women. with more cohabitating (fornicating) than were married (https://www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resources/data/family-profiles/brown-manning-relationship-status-trends-age-gender-fp-21-25.html)
About half (54%) of adolescents age 15-19 have had some type of sexual experience. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590151621000113?via%3Dihub)
Never-married adults report engaging in sexual relations approx. 14 times per year more than married adults. (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/314273096_Declines_in_Sexual_Frequency_among_American_Adults_1989-2014)
Single Americans over 45 engage in sexual relations more than married ones. (https://www.aarp.org/relationships/love-sex/info-05-2010/2009-aarp-sex-survey.html
By 2008 a CDC study estimated that one in four (26 percent) young women between the ages of 14 and 19 in the United States -- or 3.2 million teenage girls -- was infected with at least one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, herpes simplex virus, and trichomoniasis). (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080312084645.htm) And note that only 33%of women even between age 20-34 are married.
In 2017 it was estimated that about 45 percent of U.S. men and women were infected with the cancer-causing human papillomavirus (HPV sexually transmitted disease - the most common sexually transmitted disease among men and women in the United States. Among women, the prevalence of HPV infection drops to about 22 percent as they age, but it remains high among men. (https://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/hpv-genital-warts/news/20170119/nearly-half-of-us-men-infected-with-hpv-study-finds)
The incidence of many STDs in gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM)—including primary and secondary (P&S) syphilis and antimicrobial-resistant gonorrhea—is greater than that reported in women and men who have sex with women only (MSW).
Since 2000, rates of P&S syphilis have increased among men, primarily attributable to increases in cases among MSM. Similar to past years, in 2018, MSM accounted for the majority (53.5%) of all reported cases of P&S syphilis and, of these, 41.6% were known to be living with diagnosed HIV. Although rates of P&S syphilis are lower among women, rates have increased substantially in recent years, increasing 30.4% during 2017–2018 and 172.7% during 2014–2018, suggesting a rapidly growing heterosexual epidemic.
In 2000 and 2001, the national rate of reported primary and secondary (P&S) syphilis cases was 2.1 cases per 100,000 population, the lowest rate since reporting began in 1941 (Figure 35, Table 1).
However, the P&S syphilis rate has increased almost every year since 2001. This rise in the rate of reported P&S syphilis has been primarily attributable to increased cases among men and, specifically, among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM). MSM account for the majority of P&S syphilis cases and estimated rates are substantially higher among MSM compared with women or men who have sex with women only (MSW). 5 The number of cases among MSM has continued to increase, but within the last five years, cases among MSW and women have increased substantially as well. The increase in syphilis among women is of particular concern because it is associated with a striking and concurrent increase in congenital syphilis.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: STD Surveillance 2018 National Profile 27 West, and 7.2% in the Northeast (Table 29). Among women, the largest increases were observed in the West (41.2%), followed by the Northeast (40.0%), the South (30.8%) and the Midwest (30.8%) (Table 28). MSM continued to account for the majority of P&S syphilis cases in 2018 (Figures 39 and 41).
Of 35,063 reported P&S syphilis cases in 2018, 18,760 (53.5%) were among MSM, including 16,905 (48.2%) cases among men who had sex with men only and 1,855 (5.3%) cases among men who had sex with both men and women (Figure 39)....
Among the 24,176 male cases with information on sex of sex partners, 77.6% occurred among MSM. A total of 36 states were able to classify at least 70.0% of reported P&S syphilis cases as MSM, MSW, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: STD Surveillance 2018 National Profile 27 West, and 7.2% in the Northeast (Table 29).
Among women, the largest increases were observed in the West (41.2%), followed by the Northeast (40.0%), the South (30.8%) and the Midwest (30.8%) (Table 28). MSM continued to account for the majority of P&S syphilis cases in 2018 (Figures 39 and 41). Of 35,063 reported P&S syphilis cases in 2018, 18,760 (53.5%) were among MSM, including 16,905 (48.2%) cases among men who had sex with men only and 1,855 (5.3%) cases among men who had sex with both men and women (Figure 39).
Overall, 5,416 (15.4%) cases were among MSW, 4,995 (14.2%) were among women, 5,858 (16.7%) were among men without information about sex of sex partners, and 34 (0.1%) were cases reported with unknown sex. Among the 24,176 male cases with information on sex of sex partners, 77.6% occurred among MSM. A total of 36 states were able to classify at least 70.0% of reported P&S syphilis cases as MSM, MSW, or women each year during 2014– 2018 (Figure 41). In these states, during 2017–2018, the number of cases increased 5.3% among MSM, 16.3% among MSW, and 32.9% among women.
Among 2018 P&S syphilis cases with known HIV status, 41.6% of cases among MSM were HIV-positive, compared with 7.9% of cases among MSW, and 4.0% of cases among women.
When examining reported P+S syphilis cases over time, 36 states were able to classify at least 70% of reported P+S syphilis cases as MSM, MSW, or women each year during 2014–2018. In these states, cases among MSM increased 5.3% during 2017–2018 and 51.5% during 2014– 2018 (Figure 41).
Among males, 610,447 cases of chlamydia were reported in 2018 for a rate of 380.6 cases per 100,000 males (Table 5). The rate of reported cases among males increased each year during 2000–2018, with the exception of 2012–2013, when rates remained stable (Figure 1). During 2017–2018 alone, the rate among males increased 5.7%; during 2014–2018, rates of reported cases among males increased 37.8% (Tables 4 and 5). This pronounced increase among males could be attributed to either increased transmission or improved case identification (e.g., through intensified extra-genital screening efforts) among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM).
Despite this considerable increase in males, the rate of reported chlamydia cases among females was still about two times the rate among males in 2018, likely reflecting a larger number of females screened for this infection.
EDIT: "the federal government has announced that almost all health insurers must cover the HIV prevention pill, known as PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, with no cost sharing — including for the drug itself and, crucially, for clinic visits and lab tests...This means...Truvada or Descovy, the two approved forms of PrEP, should now be totally free for almost all insured individuals....when taken daily, the tablet reduces men’s risk of contracting the virus from sex with other men by more than 99 percent...PrEP use remains largely limited to white gay and bisexual men...Gilead readily provides PrEP for free to lower-income people who lack health insurance, but the pharmaceutical company does not cover the associated clinic visits and lab tests...Since this spring, Truvada has been available in a generic form with a list price as low as $30 per month. By comparison, Descovy’s list price is currently $1,930 and Truvada’s is $1,842....

Which raises raises private insurance rates and or taxes for all who pay them.
Such are just part of the financial and societal costs that affect every one to varying degrees due to man disobeying God's program, in which sexual union is only between male and female in marriage. And which provides the stable safe environment for trust and intimacy and for children which are to result, versus fornication as well as artificial contraceptives.
Normal boys are a lot less likely to have AIDS, anal warts, or a prolapsed rectum.
Legitimately a public health concern, but the CDC is doing it wrong (as with much else).
A satanic cult.
....Lesbian, “Gay”, Bisexual, and Transgender Health......
That phrase is an oxymoron!!!!
Lets be honest here. This is ONLY the “T” health. Aside from usual STDs in the GLB part of it those are relatively cheap and easy treatments. BUT the Ts... They want all the gibs. Buthers, I mean doctors, are salivating over this new source of income. Taxpayers are going to be spending billions butchering children.
"You obviously believe that the Constitution means what is actually written down."
“3. The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction and no excuse for interpolation or addition.” —United States v. Sprague, 1931."But an enlightened SCOTUS told us in Wickard v Filburn that ‘interstate’ didn’t really mean interstate and that Congress could pass virtually any law it wanted as long as it touched on ‘commerce’ even commerce strictly within a state’s borders."
Compare the emphasis of the already reasonably clear 10th Amendment (10A) by the shrinking majority of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices in United States v. Butler in the early period of FDR-era to the "insight" of that amendment by FDR's later, state-sovereignty ignoring activist majority justices who wrongly decided Wickard v. Fulburn in Congress's favor imo.
More specifically, FDR's activist justices inappropriately used words like "concept" and "implicit" to describe 10A-protected state sovereignty in Wickard.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
"In discussion and decision, the point of reference, instead of being what was "necessary and proper" to the exercise by Congress of its granted power, was often some concept [???] of sovereignty thought to be implicit [??? emphases added] in the status of statehood. Certain activities such as "production," manufacturing, and "mining" were occasionally said to be within the province of state governments and beyond the power of Congress under the Commerce Clause." —Wickard v. Filburn, 1942.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
FDR's justices effectively reduced 10A to an old wives tale imo, which desperate federal Democrats and RINOs are now seemingly exploiting through unconstitutional federal domestic policy, including unconstitutional federal taxing and spending.
They need money and the filthy heteros must be punished.
Are you a physician or nurse or one of the many med techs?
Quit having sex with random strangers. There, there is your “health”.
So, they’re not really all that different. Gay and bi kids have the same problems. The trans kids are just brainwashed. We’re all uncomfortable with our bodies throughout puberty - it’s a norm. Some are just better at hiding that discomfort than others. Adults are taking that youthful malleability and naïveté in order to turn them into activists and agitators. It’s very Soviet. Commies are an amazingly patient bunch.
Whole thing’s ridiculous.
Chaya Raichik, LibsOfTikTok, said LGBTQ is a cult to Tucker Carlson. To read article, check FR keyword ChayaRaichik. It was Breitbart article.
This afternoon was in a retail store buying something for youngest kid and the girl working the register was a bit chunky and obviously feminine and not even the slightest sign of masculinity, however it was wearing a looked fitting mask that read in big letters “hi hello I’m a boy” and had a “my pronouns are he/him” pin on its shirt
I don’t look for confrontation anywhere and try to be friendly to everyone (wife insists I need to try as hard as possible because I intimidate people) so was cordial but it was so obvious I this person needed help not “affirmation”
Refrained from saying anything as I’m probably in the absolute top tier of the so called privileged white male category and would instantly be proclaimed guilty of everything possible for offending someone but it’s so hard to watch this crap being pushed on young people these days
Completely agree most have been molested as children!
