Although the statistics around this issue is very hazy and taboo, a recent study in Taiwan claims that 20% of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people have contemplated or attempted suicide at least once in their life. This is shocking since Taiwan's LGBT rights is fairly advanced compared to other countries and their suicide rate is already very high.

Sadly, this is a reflection of society's treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in our society. The only way to lower these harrowing statistics and events is to raise awareness and accept LGBT people openly into our society.
