According to Wikipedia, it is stated the homosexual teenagers and teenage LGBT have a suicide rate four times as high as the average heterosexual.

A recent study in Taiwan shows that 25% of LGBT have attempted suicide, though the validity of this study has been questioned due to its abnormally high rate.

What is the rate of gay teens in America?

This is very complicated to answer. There are a large number of gay teens that are still closeted for various reasons, usually because of a non-gay friendly environment. There are also many who are unsure about their sexuality, so this may push straight teens to believe they're gay, and vice versa. Since the average adult total is about 10-12%, excluding closeted gays, I would estimate anywhere between 10%-16%
