Republican Family Values 0
At Psychology Today Blogs, Elliot D. Cohen takes a look at the likely effects of the recent spate of anti-LGBTQ legislation in Republican-controlled states. His conclusions are disturbing.
He makes three main points:

- LGBTQ-based discrimination is a major risk factor for poor mental health and suicidality in LGBTQ youth.
- Legislation that discriminates against LGBTQ people increases the likelihood of suicidality among LGBTQ youth.
