    This is really interesting, in that it directly correlates with data that already exists on shame and how shame affects depression, suicidal behavior, unsafe and promiscuous sexual behaviors, drug use, and other factors that also seem to be correlated with LGBT youth.

    It's a great thing that these sorts of studies are getting funded and these issues are getting talked about more openly.
