It is estimated that lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals are three to five times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual counterparts. Factors linked to increased LGB suicide risk are overt and covert discrimination, internalized oppression, nondisclosure of sexual orientation, and lack of adequate social support. As the U.S. military adjusts to the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT), it will be imperative to understand and support service people who are struggling with many of these same issues. This article explores factors linked to suicidality and provides education for professionals working with LGB service people. Emphasis is placed on strategies for the provision of support and suicide prevention for members of this population.Each year, the U.S. military loses valuable service members to suicide. The risk of suicide is heightened for service members who experience intense social and personal stress, isolation, and discrimination. Service members from minority groups may be among the most vulnerable to those stressors. For lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) service members, the risk of suicide that is associated with their role as members of the military may be amplified by a lifetime of experiences as individuals with socially stigmatized sexual orientations.
