Gay Utah Republican says LGBTQ suicide rates are linked to high numbers of sex partners

1. So you're telling a me gay man referred to 'the gays' like in the third person?

Not You Aegis, the article.

I wonder ... is that ... common? I mean, un-ironically? I've never heard it said by a gay person other than in sarcastic sort of manner, and I've know quite a few gay people.

Also, it's quite possible Utah boy is reversing cause and effect here ... likely, even. Assuming that this correlation does exist.

Not that I think there's something 'wrong' with lots of sex, and even w/lots of people, but ... I'd not be shocked to find out that very promiscuous folks might not have higher suicide rates due to an underlying psychological condition, not 'because' of the sex itself.

Gay, Straight, or Bi, mind you ... if the correlation exists I doubt it's orientation-specific.

Thus, they could be 'linked' ... but without the causation he's imagining.

You know what's a maybe a good solution for this? Gay Marriage!
