Yes, it is proven that homosexual men have one of the highest rates of depression and suicide among any other group in society. A recent study in Taiwan stated that 20% of gay men have seriously contemplated or attempted suicide at some time in their lives.
Research from the University of Auckland, New Zealand stated that on average, gay men face more problems in their relationships and are more likely to resort to withdrawal from society to deal with their problems. They are also less likely to seek help and assistance.
Society's cruel treatment of homosexuals is one of the main causes of this high rate of depression and anxiety. Until we can learn to accept people and their sexual orientations, the shocking rate of depression and suicide will continue to prevail.
