Giant Survey Finds Unhappiness Pervasive Among Gay Youth

[Fearless]

An extensive survey of 10,000 kids finds that LGBT youth are much less happy than their straight classmates.

Some 67% of straight kids described themselves as happy, but only 37% of LGBT kids could say the same, found the report from the Human Rights Campaign. They do seem to believe that "It Gets Better," as the viral video campaign targeting them has promised. The survey found that 83% of LGBT youth believe they will one day be happy.



For many, the road to happiness leads out of town. The survey found that only 49% said they could be happy wherever they live now. And that could have a lot to do with how they describe their current circumstances.

1. And of course the hate merchants will say "SEE? SEE? being gay causes unhappiness!!!"

Never mind they were instrumental in torturing you gay children.

2. Not to sound snarky but,

I don't think we needed a survey to tell us that.

3. Straight kids are happy?

Do they have NO grounding in reality?

Do they think they have a future in this economy?

Are they insensitive to their parents' stress levels?
