    Really?! Wow I never would've guessed with gay teens making up 1/3 of all suicides, mind blown.

    Sigh.

    It's sad, but it really is not anything new.

    Gee, I wonder why. Oh yeah, because we have all the religious nutcases spewing hatred down our throats day after day.

    what funny is that homophobes, when you really get down to it, cant be that happy themselves, otherwise, they would not be taking out so much aggression of people they see as different.

    And the people who are causing the misery will say just be straight and that'll solve the problem. They really are ignorant and cold-hearted. :eusa_naug

    Just because we're less likely to be happy doesn't mean we can't have a damn good time!

    Eh, maybe if people repeat these statistics often enough it'll get through to certain people, though I wish it didn't have to at all.

    well duh! I am afraid if I am fully out at school, homophobes will laugh at me for more reasons other than my learning disabilities, which makes me upset because I want to be out so bad!
