In the USA what race commits more suicide, because of being g*y? Please provide source?

Question

I am g*y and never thought of committing sucide because of being g*y. I guess because my family accepted me for what I am, even though I got teased in school, but i still had many friends still

Answer 1

in my opinion, suicide attempts are not the result of something as simple as 'being g*y'. i would extrapolate that to suicide successes as well. so your question is probably what race includes the most suicides who were also g*y.  that will be much easier to find sources for.

Answer 2

i was close to commiting suicide one night but decided it was not worth it. but as far as your question we had a guest speaker come to our school and talk and she said african american commit suicide more because they have a harder time coming out for some reason

Answer 3

"Issues of race and gender identity also impact suicide. Thirty-six percent of African-American lesbians compared to 21 percent of white lesbians, and 32 percent of African-American g*y males compared to 27 percent of white g*y males attempted suicide before age 18. (12)"

Learned a little something myself.
