Who would have though that being told from a young age that you're sick and disgusting for being attracted to different people than them would lead to mental health issues. Sadly I know people who would see articles such as this to confirm their beliefs, "They do drugs and are depressed because they know what they're doing is wrong".
While my country has definitely gone a long way towards being inclusive and accepting theres still a lot of hate behind closed door or in blue collar jobs, mostly from the older generations.
And being told that you should be killed and are evil !
