I heard on the news today that gay people are more likely to be depressed and suicidal.
Yeah,mom, that's true.
So do you think if you didn't like women, you wouldn't have depression?
Well, no, that's not really -
Because I worry about you. If you could make a decision that would make you better, shouldn't you?
That's not really a decision I-
Maybe you could be happier and not have to take medication anymore. Isn't that worth thinking about?
I think you have to concentrate on what's best for you, instead of taking some sort of political stand.
No need to get all defensive. I'm just trying to help.
