"Mentally destroyed"

Dude, do some research on rates of self-harm and suicide amongst LGBT+ communities and the direct correlation between said rates and degrees of acceptance. Equal marriage, for instance, has had a measurable impact on suicide rates within those communities. Trans teens accepted by their parents in their real identity have a much lower rate of attempted and completed suicide than those only partially accepted or rejected by their parents.

The Wiki piece on this User Posted Link is quite good but half an hour with Google will get you to the actual research.
