oh hey, that's me.

"The highest at-risk group for suicidal behaviors is found in celibate, self-identified homosexual males at 46.1 percent with an attempt rate at 15.5%."
From Relevant's recent article, Confessions of a Gay Christian.  

I'm guessing he got his stats from this journal article, which admittedly does have a pretty small sample size for celibate gay males (13.  Well, I guess there's a pretty small population of us), and in which there are so many possible lurking variables like family involvement, an understanding community that's available, etc., but still.  A little disheartening.

  1. Well it's a good thing God doesn't base His plans for our lives on some article's stats! ;]
