Parents be aware that your kids are in LGBTQ clubs in the public schools, and schools aren't telling the parents.
If you want your kids not to participate tell the school and your kids.

Here's part of an article regarding religiosity and suicide.. It's entirely possible that the increased emphasis of religion in the community is responsible for the increase of suicide...
For bisexual youth, the importance of religion was not associated with suicidal behavior, while religiosity was protective against thoughts of suicide and suicidal attempts in the heterosexual youth. But lesbians and gays who reported that religion was important to them were 38 percent more likely to have had recent suicidal thoughts. For lesbians only, religion was associated with a 52 percent increased likelihood of suicidal thinking.
Questioning individuals were almost three times as likely to have attempted suicide recently if they reported that religion was very important to them.

@walabby Very sad, but also true.
I've spoken with both gays and lesbians who were raised to believe it was a sin - and the trouble they've had trying to resolve their innate orientation with their beliefs has often been tragic.
The most successful were those who changed their way of believing,
by coming to believe in an unconditionally loving God who could not possibly condemn anyone for loving differently, because love is that which nurtures the well-being of life regardless of who or what one loves.
