I don’t understand. Supposedly back when everyone was in the closet it was just horrible because they couldn’t be who they really were due to society shunning them. So if it’s so accepted today and everyone feels free to be who they are, why are they still conflicted and committing suicide? Sure there’s still some bullying but kids still pick on people who wear glasses for crying out loud. We need more acceptance of people who wear glasses!!!

The big point is that the per capita suicide rate for homosexuals is not significantly different in Germany or the Netherlands, ironic considering that there was early advancements in the homosexual rights agenda compared to the United States, yet there are still issues. IMHO, there’s deeper issues in these people than just homosexuality. I mean, since when does some rediculous comment on the web inspire you to end your life?!!! I have seen plenty of trolls, but then again, perhaps I got the point that what is on your computer screen isn’t all that real anyways. If that wasn’t enough,genuine physical bullying didn’t drive me into that direction either. Sometimes it seems like society is conditioning people to have very thin skin.
