Three hundred fifty lesbian, gay, and bisexual youths aged 14 to 21 years were questioned about suicidal thoughts and behaviors, families' reactions to youths' sexual orientation, and suicidality among relatives and friends. Results confirmed an association between sexual orientation and suicidality. Nearly half (42%) had sometimes or often thought of suicide; one third (33%) reported at least one suicide attempt. Many related suicidal ideation and suicide attempts to their sexual orientation. Most attempts followed awareness of same-sex feelings and preceded disclosure of sexual orientation to others. One quarter said a family member had made a suicide attempt, and nearly three quarters said a close friend had attempted suicide.
对350名年龄在14至21岁之间的女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋青少年进行了询问，了解他们的自杀想法和行为、家庭对青少年性取向的反应以及亲属和朋友中的自杀情况。结果证实了性取向与自杀之间的关联。近一半（42%）的人有时或经常想到自杀；三分之一（33%）的人报告至少有过一次自杀未遂。许多人将自杀念头和自杀未遂与他们的性取向联系起来。大多数自杀未遂发生在意识到自己有同性情感之后，向他人公开性取向之前。四分之一的人说有家庭成员自杀未遂，近四分之三的人说有密友自杀未遂。
