More than one in 10 young people who identify as LGBTQ attempted suicide in 2023, a survey from suicide prevention organization Trevor Project has found.
The survey, which focuses on the mental health of LGBTQ youth, was circulated to 18,000 people from ages 13 to 24.
Nearly 40 percent of LGBTQ young people seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, while 46 percent of transgender and nonbinary young people between the ages of 13 and 17 had similar ideations.
Transgender men were the most at risk, with more than 50 percent of them reporting considering suicide and 18 percent of them attempting it.
Among LGBTQ teens aged 13 to 17, a total of 16 percent attempted suicide. This is higher than the average among all LGBTQ youths, which sits at 12 percent.
Even more troubling, half of those surveyed reported not being able to get mental health care when they needed it.
When broken down further, suicidal ideation vastly differs among different groups in the LGBTQ community.
Those identifying as pansexual had both the highest rate of considering suicide and attempting it, with gay, lesbian, bisexual and queer people reporting relatively similar rates of attempting suicide.
Across racial groups, Native American LGBTQ youth were by far and away the most likely to consider or attempt suicide, according to the survey.
The Trevor Project said that 'anti-LGBTQ+ victimization' was the main factor in young people's increased likelihood for suicide, something the organization has found in its previous surveys.
'Once again, this year's survey shows that considering or attempting suicide is not uncommon among LGBTQ+ young people,' said Dr. Ronita Nath, the Vice President of Research at the Trevor Project. 'However, many of the contributing risk factors for suicide are preventable, and often rooted in victimizing behaviors of others.'

No the LGBT kids are unstable
And trans men very unstable and dangerous
Mentally ill people do mentally ill things.
Who knew?
The purpose of these “studies” are to get the Government & Health Insurance companies to spend billions of dollars on cross dressers.
What’s in those early age vaccines?
These are the most mentally damaged out of all the alphabet people.
Perfectly healthy young women who decided they need to get their boobs cut off and take testosterone. No wonder they're so screwed up in the head.
mental illness x2
Those unable to kill themselves plan to work for the government
Bingo. LGBLT drama queens jack up the suicide rates to get what they want. It’s the trans version of I’ll hold my breath until I turn blue.
“What’s in those early age vaccines?
“
It’s a combination of cultural Marxism and the Overton Window. It started with the hippies and then festered in the colleges where people can live an entire career and never have to deal with reality.
The Overton Window:

We are required to praise them at all times because they are so awesome.
They constantly express “pride” in being more special than other people.
Huh. Odd that they want to kill themselves.
All talk and no action! Don't tell me about. Don't just consider it.
Let's get the show on the road. Put up or shut up. Show me.
There are two drive throughs we use that occasionally have trans people handing out the food.
With both, I have thanked them with a “Thank you, sir!”
They don’t like it when you do that.
I know this sounds terrible but I seriously do not care that they felt this way.
You’ve got ‘em confused with the Flintstones.
This is more like the Sheboyganstones, and the gay ol’ time is not so good lately.
Just not sure about the ‘gay’ part but it’s worrisome.
Shouldn’t “consider” be much higher, especially when a group is sensitized to respond affirmatively to the question, and “attempted” isn’t much different, haven’t they ever heard of guns, or trains, or 30 story buildings, theatrics are a far cry from actually killing yourself
Doesn’t most everyone ponder suicide? I always scoff when a liberal Catholic is described as having thought about becoming a Priest, doesn’t every Catholic boy think about that during their youth?
This is like the surveys of campus violence against women when they are reported as 35% of campus women will BE MURDERED OR RAPED or sexually harassed next year.
They should start suing the democrats for treating them as normal
When you don't even know if you care about what has a hole, where, but you just want to use it, I'm sure you live an incredibly hedonistic existence, if only in your head or your pants.
It doesn't make for a life waking to, and maybe that's the reason they most want to die.
...must be all the “bullying”
Alinsky was right. Derision and laughter are effective weapons.
