   The CDC works for Obama.  It will report anything it thinks will   
   maintain funding and get it new funding.

   A heartbreaking new CDC survey of lesbian, gay, and bisexual   
   (LGB) high school students has some terrible news: LGB students   
   are more likely to be abused, attacked, and bullied than their   
   straight peers. They are also, chillingly, four times more   
   likely to attempt suicide. In fact, there really isn't a single   
   statistic in this report that isn't heartbreaking.   
      
   The new CDC report, released Friday, is the first survey of its   
   kind to look closely at LGB students. Conducted in 2015, the CDC   
   themselves surveyed 15,000 high school students and also looked   
   at data from 25 different state surveys and 19 surveys from   
   large school districts. They considered a student to be lesbian,   
   gay, or bisexual if they either personally identified that way   
   or had had sexual contact with someone of the opposite sex.   
   (It's not a perfect means of identification, given that   
   teenagers are often still experimenting and figuring out their   
   own sexuality, but it's probably the best diagnostic possible.)   
   When they looked at students they considered to be LGB, they   
   found that this group is far more vulnerable to a broad spectrum   
   of violence than students they classified as straight.   
      
   A total of 18 percent of LGB students report having experienced   
   behaviors that qualify as physical dating violence, compared to   
   only 8 percent of straight students. Twenty-three percent report   
   having experienced sexual dating violence, compared to only 5   
   percent of straight students. Eighteen percent of LGB students   
   say they have been physically forced to have sex, more than   
   three times the number of straight students who say the same.   
      
   As is consistent with every other study done on bullying, the   
   CDC also found LGB students are much more likely to have been   
   bullied; 34 percent of LGB students have faced bullying at   
   school and 28 percent have been bullied online; for straight   
   students, those numbers are 19 and 14 percent, respectively.   
   (It's also worth noting that, although the CDC survey does not   
   look at students who identify as trans, trans students also face   
   many of the same challenges. Numerous studies have found that   
   trans young people are more vulnerable to bullying, intimate   
   partner violence, depression, and suicide.)
