Summary
In recent years in the USA, UK, and many other areas around the world, awareness of suicide risk in LGBTQ youth as well as across the lifespan has increased considerably. While these advances are critically important, stigma reduction occurs at different paces, unevenly around the world, and, even within small communities, widely varying attitudes exist. Therefore, while progress has been profound in many places, there is much work still to be done to eradicate stigma.
