    I always love it when a bunch of a academics enlighten the population about something that every LGBT person around could have told you.

    Yep, why get your answer from the source when you could get from an academic?

    At least now we have a solid statistic to throw around.

    Sadly, this doesn't surprise me.
    Coming out as LGBT in the Bible Belt is like playing Russian Roulette, even here in Atlanta, which is the gay Mecca of the south.

    I'm happy to see research like this being conducted, so that as it accumulates, it stands a chance of effecting public health policy.

    Exactly. And sadly, the results of this study don't surprise me at all.

    I agree with all the previous posts here, in that the results didn't surprise me one bit. That's like saying "studies show that a dog getting hit by a car has a greater chance of dying". Well, DUH...I didn't need a study to tell me that. Anyway, did the article delve into details about what was being done to reduce anti-gay environments on school campuses?

    Not eating food and water is a leading cause of starvation dehydration and ultimately death.

    Why I am SO proud of CA for having the Gay Education law. Hopefully, over time, it will help.

    As an academic myself it means that the research has been through peer review. Previously this was based on anecdotes but now its proper verified science. It has just confirmed what we expected.

    Its like the homophobes are gay study, people were always sure there was a link and science confirmed it
