I wanted to post a study by UCLA and Williams Institute that has
recently come out with data for LGBTQ people that have self
identified. There is no information on suicide however this is the
first major study on individuals who identify as LGBTQ. The study does
not take into account behavior versus identity, for instance a reason
why the numbers reported are so low may be because there are people
who engage in homosexual behavior but do not identify as LGBTQ.

Also I wanted to recommend to the At Ease people to include LGBTQ
identities in the It's up to us campaign and media. Thanks.
