The research for LGBTQ+ youth mental-health charity The Trevor Project showed that, overall, 58 per cent of young queer people believe there is a high chance they will live to at least the age of 35, while 34 per cent view their chances as low. The remaining respondents were unsure.
In addition, the research showed that queer people who believed they had a lower life expectancy were also more likely to have had recent bouts of anxiety (82 per cent) and depression (77 per cent). This group also reported higher rates of self-harm in the past 12 months (77 per cent), suicide considerations (73 per cent), and suicide attempts (47 per cent).
