A study just released revealed that being gay can cause a hormonal disruption that is known to increase suicide rates, memory loss, cardiovascular problems, and hone-density depletion.
Basically, the conclusion the study came to is that “homophobia is bad for your health.”
This study was the first to find a link between homophobic bullying and long-term psychological damage. They also used results from another study showing that suicide rates are 14 times higher among homosexuals.
This is sad, but important. Just because gay suicides aren’t in the news as much anymore doesn’t mean we can forget about them!
If you are a bully, STOP! If you have kids, make sure you guide them to kindness and don’t foster hatred!
