US: New CDC Data: LGB Teens Face Startling Rates of Violence, Bullying and Suicidality
Human Rights Campaign – August 11, 2016
Lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) teens are far more likely to experience violence and bullying, and attempt suicide, than their heterosexual peers, according to new national data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The data show just how deeply stigma and discrimination affect LGBTQ youth, how urgently they need their communities’ support and affirmation, and how far we have to go in protecting them.
