I haven't read all the info here but read the statistics, about how young gays are 3 times more likely to end hteir lives than straights.

I tend to think that site leans liberal but too soon to tell. If so, they will likely say that it is society's lack of acceptance of their "lifestyle" that makes them think of ending it all

I say it is because they are doing something their conscience tells them is wrong.. and going against your conscience is never somehting that ends well, obviously

They are mentally ill. Nothing they do fixes them. It isn't lack of acceptance. Elton John is certainly accepted. Acceptance gave him millions of dollars and he tried to commit suicide.

I suspect your conclusion is wrong. Do you know any gay people?

Why would their conscious tell them that being attracted to and loving somebody of the same sex is wrong??

Mental illness.

Sure you can.

Because it is wrong. It's against nature and their creator. They overuse alcohol and drugs to escape the reality of their conscience.

Proud? Do you hate gay people?

Being gay apparently doesn’t mean being happy.

I have a nephew who is gay. He is manic/depressive but not suicidal.

There was a gay guy in my church (married with children) that hung himself.

They probably blame ‘society’ is my guess.

Good. And I hope he never is.

He's manic most of the time. Drives you nuts.

There has been a historical stigma attached to homosexuality, both by society (which has led to some rather horrible outcomes) and nature (which led to no offspring). People cannot choose what attracts them, but they can certainly choose to engage in physical manifestations of such.

Same with straight manic depressives.
