** Hi
Friend of Trevor,
------------------------------------------------------------

A lot of The Trevor Project’s research shines a light on the toll that anti-LGBTQ stigma and discrimination takes on LGBTQ young people. In the past year, we found that:
* 45% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered suicide
* 36% of LGBTQ youth reported that they have been physically threatened or harmed due to either their sexual orientation or gender identity
* 20% of transgender and nonbinary youth attempted suicide

But our findings also show that affirming spaces and supportive parents and caregivers can improve an LGBTQ young person’s mental health and well-being — and save lives. Help Trevor use our research to advocate for a world in which LGBTQ young people can envision a bright future for themselves. Please make your best gift today. ([link removed])

Every Trevor research report includes this note: LGBTQ young people are not inherently prone to suicide risk because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It’s the mistreatment and stigmatization they experience that increases the risk. So, we’re working toward the day when this is true: what causes a young person’s mental health challenges has nothing to do with their LGBTQ identities.
