* Girl (13): "I don't have many men in my life, so I'm not as comfortable around them as I would like to be...It's really hard for kids of lesbians...I don't know if I'm gay or straight."
* Boy (12) : "I have been to every gay pride march. Last year...two men came up to us. One of them started touching me...I didn't want to go this year because of that."
@STRUTTER777U First, please provide a source for these quotes so that we know you didn't make them up. Second, your lack of logic is absolutely astounding. These quotes demonstrate that single mothers and straight people should not have children. After all, children of single mothers don't live with men and 98 percent of child molesters are straight.
So, by your own logic, only homosexuals should have kids.
@ShadesofGay5222010 'Rafkin and Saffron published 57 narratives in which children of homosexual parents spoke about their experiences. Some approved of the lifestyle. However, numerous others pointed out the difficulties they faced while being reared in homosexual households.'
@STRUTTER777U 57 narratives is a very small sample size besides being anecdotal. Also, why does it not have specific numbers for who said what?
What do you think about the study in the Journal of Pediatrics last year, which found that children raised in lesbian households tended to have higher self-esteem and less psychological problems than other children? Surely you wouldn't want to ban straight people from having children on these grounds.
@STRUTTER777U * Girl (17): "I know my mom wants me to be a lesbian. I'd like to have a lesbian experience, because otherwise, how will I know what I want?"
* Woman (23): "I've always know my mother as a lesbian...She always lived with her lovers...When the relationship was over, these lovers would leave, saying they wanted to continue a relationship with me. But they never did."
* Woman (19): "Being a father isn't great for my Dad's image. ...When we go to the supermarket and I call him Dad, he tries to shush me up...He thinks men won't look at him if they know he's got a daughter."
@STRUTTER777U Your mom is screwed up in the head if she wants you to be gay! A "good" mom would want her child to be successful and happy b4 anything else my friend. Wishin' you the best..
@adriannyasia why must you spread your hate on all videos, i swear this is the 7th video i have seen you hating on, and yet earlier you were claiming christ? 1 john 2:9 "anybody who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness" as i told you earlier i will be seeing you in hell and your finaly proving my words to be true... quoting ac/dc your on the highway to hell.
@MrDroopdog1 Listen, don't hate me cause I'm tellin' the truth!! Homosexuals are screwed up in the head and you know that! I have not yet met a content with life homosexual. Y r they always pissed-off?! Y do they constantly have to push themselves on other people to accept them? God's creation is perfect, if he wanted you to be a woman, he would've made you a woman and vice-versa ! Must really suck being gay huh, Constantly proving urself, depression, guilt, multiple partners, confusion & anger.
@adriannyasia everything that you state is completly false... "constantly proving urself" you dont have to prove your self to anyone! "depression" wouldn't you be depressed if people threatend and harassed you on a day by day bases? "guilt" their is NO guild in being homosexuel.. "multiple partners" really? sexuel preference has nothing to do with monogamy, i have met gay's who pratice monogamy and straights that have fucking orgys...
@MrDroopdog1 You know, I'm done going back and fourth with you. I'm gonna make a video once and for all to shut you and your kind up! Hope I don't embarrass you.........POOF, b gone!
@adriannyasia your a fucking retard, you have absolutely no understanding of genetic structer nor do you have any clue how complex the human brain is. clearly you are void of logic and when ever someone proves you wrong you act like a child and scream "NOOOO YOUR WRONG ADFADSFHAOE;FA;SHD" even though you cant prove anything at all and your only source of information is from a cosmic jewish zombie... clearly i have won this argument...
@adriannyasia You must not know a lot of non-heterosexuals then. By your logic, Christianity is evil since the majority of Christians I've met are depressed. Stop contributing to the needless and tragic deaths of people you don't understand. And learn the difference between gay and transsexual while you're at it -- not that your transphobia is any more appropriate than your homophobia.
@adriannyasia Screwed up in the head? Excuse me? Ellen DeGeneres, Neil Patrick Harris (Yeah, Barney in HIMYM), Ricky Martin... (the list can be endless), all of them are screwed up in the head according to you?
As far as 'content with life' homosexuals are concerned, I am one. I am a happy, proud, rather handsome gay young man from India who is happy and content with life.
And no, I don't 'want to be a woman'. I am a man who enjoys being the man of the house, while hitting the gym everyday.
@adriannyasia strait people feel all those things you typed too. we are all human. the reason gay people tend to feel the way they do is from people who are cruel and judge them the way you do. where in the bible does it say you are supposed to do this? where is your proof that what you are saying is the truth?
I will never understand why we of the Gay community have to be always be persicuted for the way we are. We are not evil and are hurting no one. It is our choice to be the way we are. I have been Gay all my life and am now 61 years old, I have seen a lot over the years and I would have thought that society was a bit more on our side and accepted us for the way we are. Rest in Peace all of those from the Gay community who have lost their lives through Violence from those who condemn us.
@adriannyasia "gods creation is perfect" oh really than explain aglossia where children are born without tounges... how is that "a perfect creation from god" ....

This is so sad... another thing that causes suicide aside from actually being homosexual is being teased for being homosexual even if you are not. most people usually teens that is, use the word gay as an insult, that is very sad, it makes young kids wanna hurt themselves or make huge mistakes like suicide. Homosexuality shouldnt mean how masculine you are or how feminine you are, of how smart, or anything else.
I wish you had put in the end that one of those people could have been transgendered like I am. Because I looked up this video because I am feeling suicidal right now and I am FTM
@tayllor2900: This video is meant for the entire LGBT community; I couldn't find pictures of diverse people who killed themselves. Check out my other video which mentions transgender people. Anyway, if you are feeling suicidal call the Trevor Hotline at 1-888-4TRE-VOR. They can help you.
I am glad that you made this video. Two friends of mine committed suicide over gender-identity issues; I was with one of them on the last night of her life.
What's equally tragic is that so many of us are murdered for our actual or perceived sexual and gender identities. I read somewhere that a transgender is sixteen times as likely to be murdered as anyone else.
@MusicMama4758: My best friend contemplated suicide over gender-identity and sexual orientation issues. No-one should have to suffer like that simply because of who they are. I try not to think about the murder statistics; I figure if it happened ALL the time it wouldn't be news... but it still makes me nervous sometimes when my MTF roommate goes out. :(
I think it's fantastic that you're taking a stand against LGBT suicide but I would like to see a video about lesbian and transgendered people too, since the title of your video is "LGBT suicide PSA". I noticed that you only have stories of gay or bisexual males.
Thanks for your time,

@KhrysHermary: If you have any pictures/stories of lesbian or transgender people who have killed themselves, please share them. I couldn't find any. Check out my newer video which mentions lesbian and transgender people.
Thanks for making this video. Where do you get the statistics and images and stories? We're featuring this at the GCRM Media Center on Facebook and elsewhere.
I am not happy I had to make this video, but I am thrilled that it is having an impact already. Thank you for redistributing it. I am passionate about reducing the LGBT suicide rate; I'm working on online and offline events during Suicide Awareness Month.
Pictures and stories can be found at the Tampa Bay Coalition Teen Suicide Resources and Support Site.
My sources are listed on my Cafepress site. I will send you both links privately since YouTube seems to freeze every time I post them.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS:
Kids in Homosexual Households
