A Startling Statistic
We live in a country where a gay teen attempts suicide every 35 minutes. About every six hours, one succeeds. (source)

I think it's pathetic the way things are at the moment. There are no words to describe just how terribly homosexuals are descriminated against.
I'm honestly not surprised by this statistic... but I really hope it changes soon.
*Hugs all*
I'm straight, but I still think it's ridiculous. A lot of my friends are homosexual or bi, and they really don't deserve the treatment they get.
And neither should you guys.
Yea, don't you just LOVE the fact that when the gay haters are making their arguments against homosexuality, they like to bring up things like "more gays are alcoholics/drug dependant", "gays don't live as long" "gays are not as happy" as though these are traits of homosexuality, not the persecution that gays live with. I could be just as "happy" as anyone, just treat me the same.
That is a very sad statistic,but it does not surprise me,given the fact that we live in a world filled with hate all around us,i wish we knew how to help,but untill we are seen as more than perverts it will continue to happen.
