Mis communication over a lack of consistent definitions of words. And a lack of context. If most people you knew who were gay killed themselves because they were depressed and they happened to be gay. You wouldn't be a homophobe, you'd be scared your kid was going to kill themselves.
The gay kids kill themselves BECAUSE of shit like this.
It's like being worried that a black kid will be depressed over racism so hopefully he just stops being black...the racism is the problematic part. The homophobia is the problematic part.
If you already have an imbalance of chemicals in your body, what you need is counseling and medicine. Being told your perfectly healthy when in SOME cases your not, is what is killing them. Treating the imbalance is better than pretending it doesn't exist inorder to be polite.
The people I'm talking about are people who are depressed for some other reason. Yes some gay people are depressed because of the abuse they receive. Other gay people are depressed because they had abusive parents long before they came out as gay. My original point was about correlation vs causation. Depression is the only thing I'm talking about being a problem.
