to their suicide.
"The suicide rate for LGB veterans (82.5 per 100 000 person-years) was higher than the rate in the general veteran population (37.7 per 100 000 person-years).
In 2018, the suicide rate for veteran women was 14.8 per 100,000 (291 deaths), almost twice the rate for nonveteran women (7.6 per 100,000)."
It seems that going into the military raised their likelihood of committing suicide, especially the last paragraph.
I think the proper framing of this isn't that adding LGBTQ to the military raised the suicide rate, but rather, what about the military leads people to commit suicide at a greater rate than had they not joined at all.
