Every time I hear someone making ignorant comments about the supposed 'evils' of homosexuality, I think about the true evil of the high suicide rates among gay and lesbian teens.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Gay teenagers are four times as likely to attempt suicide as straight ones. I wish they knew that there's nothing wrong with them; that they are just a different shade of normal.
The homosexual community has more acceptance in America than it ever has, and the suicide rate is as high as it's always been.
I think a lot of people are projecting their own troubles and fears concerning sexuality onto those around them, and it does result in the perpetuation of a lot of hateful notions. As long as I can remember, I've felt really horrified watching those dynamics play out.
Many people secretly think that gays are a lot happier than they are, and want to punish them.
There is something great and terrible about suicide.
If you have an issue with homosexuality, then it comes to your own fear and your own darkness.
If someone thinks homosexuality is immoral, they have a right to believe that.
Gay kids need to stop killing themselves because they are made to feel worthless by cruel and relentless bullying.
Many young people, many children, are being abused, being put down, being bullied because of their sexual orientation.
A huge part of what animates homophobia among young people is paranoia and fear of their own capacity to be gay themselves.
