actually want to be killed.”

Editor's Notes
I Would like to start by reading a quote from David Halperin - This quote reflect the disconnect within our community and how our behavoour are depicted in research – if we engage in UAI is not because we are fucked up and are suicidal – we need to move beyond the individual to look up the social context.
The scientific interest between gay men HIV risk taking and mental health, particularly depression is not new and we have all read report on it. However, what often is not acknowledge is that gay me.
EMPHASIZED THE SOCIAL CONTEXT!!!Post-Gay Marriage – Developing their identity in
Looking across age groups suggested that the indicators lose impact with age. “It get’s better?” Or, is the data telling us that gay marginalization has heated up and the gay youth of today are more affected than ever? Whatever, the effects of marginalization appear to be highest among gay youth.
1) The vast majority of youth and are sample are marginalized in at least one way. -- Have we made things only easy for adults?
This is very premilinary – and in this year census we have so much better measure. This is my call to help – Count yourself out and promote our sex now survey 2011. We have much better indicators now and this is certain to improve our understanding.
