Admitting you're gay warrents a call from the president?

[gallantwarrior]

Two to six times more likely? Is that like saying that 6% of scientists are Republicans?

People commit suicide for lots of reasons. There was a suicide that made the news here recently because the young girl was raped, and the police are trying to ague that she was a victim of cyber bullying.

Life sucks, deal with it, or get help. People commit suicide for lots of reasons, none of which make sense to me. Unless you want to argue that being gay is a mental disorder I suggest you stop trying to convince me it is.

By the way, given the fact that there most estimates say that 10% of the population is gay, and the wildest claim you have is that gays are 6 times more likely to attempt suicide than straight teens, the numbers actually back me up. More straight teens commit suicide than gay ones.

Until you post links and facts, your numbers back up shit.

Frankly, I think we should deal with whatever it is that is causing them to kill themselves instead of trying to prove one group is inherently crazier than another.

We know what causes gay teens to kill themselves: daily reminding that they are hated by society.

It couldn't be a deeper recognition that their choice is just not really as right and natural as they've been told...oh, wait.

A nobody basketball player admits he's gay on Facebook and suddenly it's national news? And it's followed up with a call from the president?

Seriously?

We are so fucked as a nation.

It's great that the leader of the free world can take time out from his busy day to personally enquire as to how another citizen's day is going.
Kudos to Obama.

 

[poet]

Those stats tend to make me think something is seriously wrong in the brain of gay teens. 30% of their population wants to die and you don't see a red flag here?

Indeed I do. And so do others:

Gay Teen Suicide Rates Higher In Conservative Areas

Reminded daily that gays are hated doesn't do much for a gay teen's self-esteem.

what's the suicide rates of beasitality folks or incest or necrophiliacs? should we stop making fun of them too?

Comparing gays to the aforementioned is not only wrong but "sick".

 

[poet]

You are a poet, not a writer, and the lesson was not about writing, it was about thinking. Being a real writer I know the difference.

Pardon me? You don't know if I'm a poet or not, only but what I've told about myself. I am also a writer. And a musician. And a producer. And a songwriter. And a performance artist. And much more.

Yet you don't know how to think. Is that because you think artists do not have to think, or is it because you are really stupid?

Well, now. There's a broad assumption. Lol

 

[Redfish]

Obama-----Yo, Collins, great that you admitted that you are gay, how about if we get together to shoot some pool?

Collins-----Sure Barry, your place or mine.

the gay agenda trumps all else with BHO. anybody know why?

 

[Seawytch]

Gays are killing themselves?

Newsflash, non gays are killing themselves also. In fact, more straight teens commit suicide than gay ones, are you worried about that, or are you a narrow minded bigot?

Sorry, were you saying something??

LGB youth living in a social environment that was more supportive of gays and lesbians — for instance, having more anti-discrimination policies — were 25 percent less likely to attempt suicide than LGB youth living in less-supportive environments. Surprisingly, a supportive environment was also linked to 9 percent fewer attempted suicides in heterosexual teens.

"The results of this study are pretty compelling," Hatzenbuehler said in a statement. "When communities support their gay young people, and schools adopt anti-bullying and anti-discrimination policies that specifically protect lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth, the risk of attempted suicide by all young people drops, especially for LGB youth."[...]

A study out last year found that parental support could also go a long way for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender teens. Published in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Nursing, the study found specific parental behaviors, such as advocating for their children when they are mistreated due to their LGBT identity and supporting their teen's gender expression, were linked to a lower likelihood of depression, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts in early adulthood.​

I can't fire you because you're Christian. You can fire me because I'm gay. That's discrimination.

They are kicked out if their homes by their straight parents.

Family rejection on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity was the most frequently cited factor contributing to LGBT homelessness. The next most frequently cited reason for LGBT youth homelessness was youth being forced out of their family homes as a result of coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender.
