World Suicide Prevention Day

On September 10th it is annual World Suicide Prevention Day and although thoughts of suicide can affect any community and population, it is well researched that the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans) community suffers a higher percentage of attempts on one’s life than that of the heterosexual community.  This can be due to a huge variety of reasons,  struggling to come to terms with their sexuality, being bullied verbally or physically or even both because of being lgbt, family difficulties, school/college/work environment etc.
