Teen suicide attempts fell as same-sex marriage became legal

[Cancel 2018.2]

It really cracks me up how crazy liberals have become since Trump won.

Here, we have an article that says there is no evidence of correlation, but maybe something to look into.

JPP liberals - look at this correlation and what is proves. Then you guys lie about what the author actually said.

Too funny.

The correlation seems well supported.

The results don't prove there's a connection

[Timshel]

I didn't post a link....

My point is that your 'cause and effect' implication is about the same as mine....a stretch, a far, far stretch.

Holy fuck, mushbrain. I mean, I understand why you missed it the first time but I just explained it to you. Link can mean a connection. What do you have to support your connection or link between gay marriage and auto accidents?

I did not suggest this supports a causal relationship, but you don't have any proof of correlation for your claim or even a suggestion of a causal relationship. Also, I don't know that your claim about auto accidents compares those states that did and did not legalize gay marriage as this study did with teen suicide.

The correlation is speculative, but it makes sense to me.

Proof of how fucking stupid Yaya is.

[Cancel 2020.1]

That's obtuse.

It's not about the teens themselves getting married. As it says in the OP, it just makes them more hopeful about the future (or has the potential to). It's a general level of more acceptance & tolerance that matters.

More proof of how fucking stupid Yaya is.

It certainly supports correlation. Correlation is defined as "a mutual relationship or connection between two or more things."

Are sure that was warranted?

[Cancel 2020.1]

Are sure that was warranted?

Oh, definitely.

You are definitely stupid.

Your own article it doesn't prove a connection, Dick.

But if you want to believe it does, have at it. I'm tired of lying liberals and their fake news.

You need to understand that there could be a myriad of other factors.

So then it was not necessarily good that you post it?



Busted!

It supports correlation which as I explained, is a connection of sorts by definition.

Sure, there could be other factors. Do you have anything to support another factor, perhaps something showing a correlation between this factor and teen suicide?

YaYa and Nova are morons. Yurt has not mastered it but Nova has learned to mouth phrases like "correlation is not causation." I am not sure either know what it means or that correlation can still be a quite significant finding. We did not fully understand the causal relationship when we found a strong correlation between smoking and lung cancer.

It's just a weird thing to go to the mat over.

It seems logical to me that it's helpful for gay youth that homosexuality isn't as frowned on and discriminated against in society, and that they can have a hope to live normal lives, like their heterosexual peers. Doesn't seem like a big leap to me.

What are you talking about? It absolutely provides evidence of correlation.

The study was published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics .


The researchers analyzed data on more than 700,000 public high school students who participated in government surveys on risky youth behavior from 1999 through 2015, the year the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage.


About 230,000 students reported being gay, lesbian or bisexual. The surveys didn't ask about transgender status. They included questions about suicide attempts, smoking and alcohol or drug use.


In 32 states that enacted same-sex marriage laws during the study, suicide attempts dropped 7 percent among all students and 14 percent among gay kids after the laws were passed. There was no change in suicide attempts in states without those laws.

That is correlation between passage of the laws and teen suicide rates.

Yeah, it certainly seems plausible. We know what isolation does to people.
