350 名年龄在 14 岁至 21 岁之间的女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋青少年接受了有关自杀想法和行为、家人对青少年性取向的反应以及亲戚和朋友之间自杀倾向的询问。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%) 报告至少有一次自杀企图。许多人将自杀意念和自杀企图与其性取向联系起来。大多数尝试都是在意识到同性情感之后，并在向他人透露性取向之前进行的。四分之一的人表示，一名家庭成员曾试图自杀，近四分之三的人表示，一名亲密的朋友曾试图自杀。
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.
