@manlambda There's a reason anecdotal evidence can't be relied on. You're critical of celibacy and genuinely concerned for the welfare of...

@manlambda ...struggling gay people. It's therefore very likely that you would come across those struggling with this and blame celibacy.

@manlambda Without some other, more objective source of data there's really no way to conclude that this is part of a later trend. I'm sorry

@v_urq so instead we just let kids die while we wait for stats that may not ever be collected. How about talking 2 someone at Trevor Project

@manlambda I cannot stress strongly enough how damaging I think speculation and over-discussion of suicide rates are http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2014/08/19/five_rules_for_writing_about_lgbtq_suicide_rates.html …

@v_urq and I can't overemphasize how when you give a pass to dangerous beliefs it is a real threat to GLBT youths.

@manlambda And by "real threat" in this context, you mean "my opinion based on anecdote".

@v_urq or is talking to someone from them too threatening?
