Are you Gay? Time to fess up...

I don't know what the real suicide rate is amongst gay people, but that's because the ABS doesn't collect such data. Any data there is out there anectodal.

The paper that Satanoperaca quoted was a useful starting point. The authors qualify their figures from the start but nonethless they are the ones that are available.

It was from

https://www.humanrights.gov.au/face-facts-lesbian-gay-bisexual-trans-and-intersex-people

But then again, maybe this government office has been infiltrated by those not normal people (gays) to objective the facts in order to turn more people to becoming not normal and getting gay marriage approved.

I find this thread non-productive so will start a new one. " Family Stress and Teenage Suicide "
Not having a go at anyone.

Teenage suicide attempts are not the exclusive domain of sexual attraction. I'm not unfamiliar with suicide, it seems to be family tradition in my past lineage and I've had to cope with teenage friends of my kids who have jumped, poisoned and overdosed to suicide and succeeded, none of them displayed visceral malcontent.

I'm sympathise for the shock and enduring trauma you have gone through, if that is the case.

I personally don't know any teenagers who have attempted suicide and being in the horsey game, I know A LOT of gay and lesbian teenagers and young adults.

I know one young girl who in the late eighties attempted suicide over the hole in the ozone layer trolling.

As you all know, I know one who succeeded over cc trolling just recently. So let's refrain from this emotional blackmail shall we?

I don't personally know anyone who rides horses, but I think it would be silly for me to assume they don't exist.

Way to miss a point mate.

I couldn't see a point to the three anecdotal statements you made.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, which by the way, the Seinfeld team conceived in support of gays

Wow. Stumbled upon this thread. Interesting, amusing and serious at the same time. Tisme taking on all comers and rattling cages.

No I'm not and:

I have a couple ladyboys and a gay guy coming to my 1yo birthday this week. Have a young girl that is very close to the family that transitioned to male a few years back. And know a few others through various people.

Interesting, you're more Liberal than you let on Mo

So long as what you do doesn't harm anyone. Then I fully support everyone's right to live their life how they want.
Its when our freedom's start getting whittled away that I generally have a problem.

Homosexual or Heterosexual are still 2 genders.

Male and Female.
Mother and Father
Boy and Girl.
