The mental health of LGBTQ+ youth is deteriorating as lawmakers, including those in Texas, push legislation to curtail LGBTQ+ rights, according to a national survey released Monday by The Trevor Project. About one in three survey participants said their mental health was poor “most of the time” or “always” due to anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and policies being adopted or debated in Texas and other states. What’s more, two in three said that “hearing about potential state or local laws banning people from discussing LGBTQ people at school (also known as ‘Don’t Say Gay’) made their mental health a lot worse.”
