According to the results of a national survey released by The Trevor Project about one in three LGBTQ+ young people surveyed said their mental health was poor most of the time or always due to legislation and policies targeting the LGBTQ+ community in states across the U.S. Nearly two in three LGBTQ+ young people said that hearing about potential state or local laws banning people from discussing LGBTQ+ people at school made their mental health a lot worse.
