Original review summary

The review concludes that the claim is false, citing multiple Japanese studies that found higher rates of suicidal thoughts or attempts among sexual minorities than among comparison groups. It also describes a study of young people in which gay or bisexual men, and people unsure of their sexual orientation, had a higher risk of suicide attempts.[S1]

Additional context

The review cites a 2019 Osaka survey of 4,294 respondents that found statistically significant differences in suicidal thoughts and attempts between sexual minorities and cisgender heterosexual people. [S1]
