Aspects of family dynamics—such as lack of support, conflict, and rejection as well as connectedness —play an important role in suicide risk for LGB youth. Abuse within the family (whether psychological, verbal, physical, or sexual) elevates the risk of suicidal behavior by LGB young people (Gibson & Saunders, 1994; McBee- Strayer & Rogers, 2002). Forty percent of the callers to the Trevor Helpline for LGBTQ youth reported that they had difficulty with their families because of their sexual orientation (Charles Robbins, personal communication, April 9, 2008). Family conflict is also a contributing factor to homelessness of LGBT youth, discussed below.
