Title: The Number of Gay suicides Is Exaggerated
Author: Jamuna Carroll

This was an article I read that I felt was very interesting due to the fact that I didn't know there was a difference between gay and straight suicides. Ultimately I found out that I was correct and but the main character from this article I have choose felt otherwise. I felt that Mr. Paul Gibson who is a homosexual social worker should be criticised for his incorrect surveys of gay teen suicides. He didn't even take the surveys seriously because they were drawn from a group of homes and runaway shelters where the most troubled teens were located instead of drawing his surveys from a wide spectrum of communities and areas. These are human being just like us, come on they breath the same oxygen as he does so why be so uncaring and misreport his findings that were very flawed and exaggerated. To stated nationally that homosexual suicide is the leading cause of death among gay and lesbian youth is idiotic if you aren't even sure if it is true and while knowing that major spectators will be lined up to approved or object these recorded statements. But out of the one hundred percent criticism that he deserves I would take away do percent to add praise based on the fact that due to all his incorrect announcements he has created more gay counseling programs and tolerance curricula in our nation's public schools.
