Suicide is one of the top three causes of death among young people (15 to 24-year-olds). Only accidents and homicides occur more frequently as causes of death among young people. LGBTQ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers. LGBTQ youth who come from a rejecting family are up to nine times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers. With your help, The Trevor Project can continue Saving Young Lives.
Visit the Trevor Project's Facebook page [http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=24470472733&topic=7727 ] or their website [http://www.thetrevorproject.org/ ] for information on how to help them protect the lives of LGBT youth.

This month, LIly Tomlin, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Mae Whitman and Judith Light talk about why we all need to give a damn about the fact that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth are nearly 4 times more likely to attempt suicide than their straight peers.
