I have to agree with this post. The underlying theme of many on this thread is that the problems faced within the gay/lesbian community is the fault of heterosexuals and this so-called "anti-gay bigotry". If gays/lesbians suffer from higher rates of mental disorders, I think it is more of a result of the internet conflict within themselves and not the fault of society.
Have you ever taken a sociology class? As individuals, we're not islands. We're all influenced by what others think of us and by what society wants us to be.
Your consistently anti-gay posts are infuriating, by the way. I really think you just like to harass people, to be honest.

How am I harassing anyone? I am voicing my opinions as anyone else on CDF. I have not used any derogatory terms towards the homosexual community. If you cannot take criticism or dissenting points of view, then you should not be in the "Politics and other Controversies" forum then.

Where do you think the internal conflict comes from?!

Maybe "harassment" isn't the right word, but you certainly are antagonistic.
You haven't used derogatory terms, but your attitude toward gays is very derogatory.
I really think that people that hate homosexuality to such an a extreme level to where they will go on and on forever about it are self hating homosexuals.
Summary: Recent studies show homosexuals have a substantially greater risk of suffering from a psychiatric problems than do heterosexuals. We see higher rates of suicide, depression, bulimia, antisocial personality disorder, and substance abuse. This paper highlights some new and significant considerations that reflect on the question of those mental illnesses and on their possible sources.
No surprise here. When hate (by people like you) is directed at homosexuals their entire life it's hard for it not to manifest itself in some way. Imagine if we just treated each other with kindness, instead of with some narrow minded, double talk Christian crap you losers like to dish out towards gays and others you disapprove of.
