Today's Health/Excercise Tip:
Being gay is not a choice
 
A significant number of medical studies exclude gays and lesbians, a New England Journal of Medicine report says.

A recent rash of suicides among gay teens nationwide is a symptom that negative attitudes about non-heterosexuals are still pervasive in families, schools and other segments of society, according to an LGBTQ youth expert.

Elizabeth Payne, a Syracuse University professor and director of a local support center for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning youth, spoke Wednesday at a conference in Syracuse about suicide prevention and LGBTQ youth. About 120 people attended the event at Hutchings Psychiatric Center sponsored by the state Office of Mental Health.

The story brought comments from many readers, including this very personal one from Brazos:

"My nephew is gay. We all knew it when he was 12 years old. Obviously not a choice at 12 years old, just born that way. The entire extended family has accepted him for who he is. We find he is no different that us, other than his sexual preference.

"He is quite successful. Outside of his family, he has received many negative responses to his lifestyle. You know what, he doesn't care because he is proud of who he is. He is proud of what he has achieved in life.

"And most of all he is happy.

"Too bad we can't say the same for those that blast the gays. Especially the part about being happy with their lives. If they were content with who they are, they would feel no need to blast gays."

Gay teen suicides create a 'teachable moment'

HADDONFIELD, N.J. - Gay Americans have arrived at what activists say is a teachable moment.

A recent spate of gay teenage suicides has captured broad public sympathy, and some advocates are using it as an opportunity to educate.

Activists say they don't want to appear to be capitalizing on tragedies that include the suicide last month of a Rutgers University freshman. His roommate and a friend are accused of webcasting his sexual encounter with a man.

But activists say the attention now being given to the harassment of young gays and lesbians could spark action.

For instance, advocates say the suicides could give a boost to legislation to toughen anti-bullying laws.
