Gay and Mental Illness

[Blue]

I think the internal conflict many of us went through in the process of coming to terms with being LGBT also plays into it. Yes that's less today than it was in my generation, but it's still there to some degree.

Being programmed to thing you are bad, wrong, abnormal just foe being you is a lot to deal with at any age, and many of us were dealing with that, on top of how we were treated just for being LGBT at fairly young ages for anyone to have to face that stuff.

Toss in a percentage of entirely dysfunctional families, abusive parents and so on, and it all adds up to mental health issues being more common for LGBT.
