A new survey from the Trevor Project of young LGBTQ+ people found that 39% of those surveyed said they considered attempting suicide in the past year, while 12% said they tried to take their own life.

Politics have also impacted the well-being of young LGBTQ+ youth, according to the Trevor Project. Recent politics negatively impacted the mental health of 90% of those surveyed. Slightly over half — 54% — said their school was gender-affirming. Those who said they attended schools that were gender-affirming were less likely to report that they've attempted suicide.

Those who said they lived in welcoming communities were half as likely to report attempting suicide than those who live in unwelcoming communities, the Trevor Project's survey found.
