How many gay people commit suicide?

Unfortunately the suicide rate amongst the GLBTQI (gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender/ queer/intersex) community is much higher than any other sub group and the depth of this issue is very hard to measure because of the sensitivity a lot of the truths are covered up.

Studies show that LGBT teens are between 30 and 40 percent more likely to attempt suicide than their straight peers but a lot of psychologists believe this figure to be higher.

If you are gay, think you might be gay or are concerned for someone else contact a help line in your area. Preferably a non religious one. Talk to people who you are comfortable with.

Remember that you are not alone, scientists believe at least 10% of the human population are homosexual, so if you have a class of 100 young people at least 10 of them are likely to be queer. there is nothing wrong with it and it is not disgusting and you don't have to live your life in secret or in fear.

Some stats:

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services puts the annual rate of suicide in the U.S. at between 35,000 and 40,000 per year. Of that number, almost 20 percent are teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18. According to HHS, suicide is the second leading cause of death among teenagers in the U.S.

Psychological autopsies - that is, examination of a person's psychological state in the time leading up to their death - show an alarming 30 percent of LGBT youth among these dead teens. And psychologists believe that number, too, may also be much higher than actually noted in the statistics, as queer teens are most likely to have the true cause of their death and their sexual identity hidden by family members.

There are no reliable statistics on that, as death records do not record sexual orientation.
because they have just dealt with too long and no one has done anything to help them at all only contribute so they do the only thing they can do to stop it quit life and hopefully people will learn

A 2011 study of 32,000 HS students in Oregon, USA, found that gay teenagers try to commit suicide much more often in politically conservative areas, and also in areas where schools did not have gay-supportive school programs. Suicide risk among teens who were NOT bullied or depressed was also higher in conservative areas. See the link below.
