Lets end suicide among young gays and lesbians!!!

Having suffered through years, 40 to be exact, of depression and dealing with my own homosexuality, I have decided to write a book. A book that is a reference for our teens who are facing the fact that they are gay and where they can go and who they can reach out to talk to so they realize they are not alone, freaks, and so many people care about them.

About.com has this to say about gay teen suicide: Teen suicide is a pretty heavy subject. Sadly GLBT adolescents may be even more likely to commit or attempt suicide than are straight teens.

However, it is important to realize that being GLBT itself is not a risk factor for suicide. Rather, the negative treatment that many GLBT teens endure can lead to suicidal feelings.

The GLBT suicide prevention organization, the Trevor Project explains that, "Sexual orientation and gender identity alone are not risk factors for suicide. However, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth face many social factors that put them at higher risk for self-destructive behaviors, including suicide."


I am doing research in order to write a book for gay teens that is filled with references of where to seek out help, and personal experiences of others so they can they are not alone, that others have survived the process and people love and care about them.

If you are willing to fill out an anonymous survey for me, PLEASE email me at CarlDinsmore@yahoo.com. This survey is in word so you can type in your answers and simply email it back.

Thank you so much and lets help end gay teen suicide.
