The Hill (5/1, Migdon) reports, “Close to a third of LGBTQ youth say laws and policies that target LGBTQ people have had a substantial and negative impact on their mental health over the past year, according to an annual report published…by The Trevor Project, a national LGBTQ youth suicide prevention group.” The report indicated that “nearly 1 in 3 LGBTQ young people said their mental health is poor either ‘most of the time’ or ‘always’ because of policies and legislation that takes aim at their sexual orientation or gender identity.” The report “analyzed survey responses from more than 28,000 LGBTQ young people ages 13 to 24 across the U.S.”
