It's a good reminder of how many mentally ill people there are out there that are given a license (through unrighteous laws) to out act their mental illness instead of getting the spiritual and psychological help that they so desperately need.
Here's the latest in transgender teen news:
Landon Patterson: Homecoming Queen.
http://www.ozarkareanetwork.com/newwp/transgender-girl-is-missouri-high-schools-homecoming-queen/
After all of the glamour and headlines quiet down and he realizes that he's been living a lie and is told by the LGBTQueer movement that there is no way out, Landon will probably end up doing what so many other gender and sexually confused people do:
Commit suicide.

And once again you are presenting a known lie as truth. The mental health issues you bring up are not the result of being LGBT but rather it is the result of being on the receiving end of hate, bigotry, discrimination.
It isn't them, it's you and the constant barrage of lies you present.
