And you wonder why the suicide rate is so high, It's because walking down the street people stare and some make rude comments. The suicide is NOT because of who they are, but how they are treated in this world by others.
I don't believe that. In places like San Francisco and the Netherlands where gay sex is normalized, the stats are worse, so I have difficulty with the theory that the cause of unhealthy stats is "homophobia".
And more people die in Canada from suicide than die from AIDS, where gay marriage has been legal since 2005.
And more New Zealanders commit suicide than Australians, where banana consumption is 40% lower than in New Zealand.
Not even knowing if your "facts" are right, at a minimum you seem to be confused between corelation and causation.
Putting two stats or trends together and saying that one causes the other is tenuous unless a lot of work has gone in to explore the connections. While my example is clearly fatuous, I don't think yours would hold up much more...
