Northwestern publishes med school study on LGBT suicide

Northwestern University this week published the results of a longitudinal study about the factors involved in LGBT youth suicide and self-harm - the first study of its kind, according to the release. 

The results of the study are far from extravagant, and perhaps even a bit expected. According to the data, the LGBT youth who are most likely to consider suicide are those who are victimized for being gay. Social support from friends and family is likely to keep gay youth from suicidal ideation. These are all things we knew already. 

What’s impressive, honestly, is the fact that a study like this exists now. Of course, it’s not really a good thing that LGBT suicide is extremely relevant these days, but it is a good thing that medical schools are devoting time and money to figuring this stuff out. 

Full disclosure and shameless plug: I do go to this school, so of course I’m happy to see this published. But I’d be happy to see this kind of coverage come from anywhere, really. We need as much information out there as we can get.

File under “really important things Buzzfeed found about Mitt Romney.” This is from 2002. More

Bilerico reports that an Indiana coroner cited DOMA in his refusal to release the body of Christina Santiago to her lesbian partner. Santiago was one of five killed at Saturday’s stage collapse at the Indiana State fair.

It is situations like this that really shed light on how important ‘gay rights’ are.
