So, you’ve read the headlines today: a brand, spanking new study has found that doing away with traditional marriage laws has reduced suicide rates among gay teenagers by a whopping 14 percent in states that have embraced same-sex marriage! Here are just some of the glowing headlines:
- PBS Newshour: “Same-sex marriage laws linked to fewer youth suicide attempts, new study says”
- Washington Post: “Legalizing same-sex marriage was associated with fewer youth suicide attempts, new study finds”
- The Guardian: “Drop in teenage suicide attempts linked to legalisation of same-sex marriage”
- USA Today: “Study: Teen suicide attempts fell as same-sex marriage was legalized”
These headlines, which are just a tiny sampling of the blanket media coverage this study has received, obviously suggest that if conservatives would just drop their goldarned old fashioned opposition to same-sex marriage, kids would stop killing themselves.
