Bunuh diri di antara pemuda LGBT

Peneliti telah menemukan bahwa tingkat percobaan bunuh diri dan pikiran bunuh diri di antara pemuda lesbian, gay, biseksual, dan transgender (LGBT) lebih tinggi dibandingkan populasi pada umumnya.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Remaja dan dewasa muda LGBT memiliki salah satu tingkat percobaan bunuh diri tertinggi.[7][8] Menurut beberapa kelompok, hal ini terkait dengan budaya heteroseksisme dan homofobia terlembaga dalam beberapa kasus, termasuk penggunaan hak dan perlindungan bagi orang LGBT sebagai sebuah ganjalan politik seperti dalam upaya-upaya terkini untuk menghentikan pengesahan perkawinan sejenis.[9][10][11] Depresi dan penggunaan obat-obatan di antara orang LGBT telah terbukti meningkat secara signifikan setelah adanya undang-undang baru yang mendiskriminasi orang gay diloloskan.[12]
