The prevalence of suicide, especially among LGBT teens, is a serious problem that requires national attention. No one should feel less because of their gender identity or because of their orientation. They deserve our unwavering love and support. They deserve our validation and the assurance that not only is there a place for them in this society but that it is far better off because of them. These young people need us, and we desperately need them.
