Homo-/bi-sexuals at risk of suicide

March 4th, 2005 | by aobaoill |

This comes from France, so the details will vary, but its nonetheless a statistic that jumps out at you:

Une enquête indépendante révèle qu’un homo ou bisexuel homme a treize fois plus de risques de faire une tentative de suicide qu’un hétérosexuel.

That’s 13 times as likely, people. The source is Liberation, which has a useful RSS feed I’ve just recently subscribed to – it may help e keep my ever so rusty French at some usable level, at least for reading. This complements the RSS feeds that allow me keep my Irish language news up to date – isn’t the web a wonderful thing?
