any setting, and can be both sustained and anonymous. Suicide Suicide is the act of inflicting harm upon oneself "with the intent to die." It is one of the leading causes of death in America, specifically, but is a global phenomenon. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among American teenagers between the ages of 15 and 19. Though suicide affects people of different Socio-economic, geographic, and educational backgrounds, marginalized groups who are stigmatized in society see higher rates of suicidal thoughts and attempts. Included in these more susceptible groups are racial minorities, refugees, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. In comparison to heterosexual peers in the same age group, young people who identify as LGBTQIA+ are four times more likely to attempt suicide. Religion Homosexuality has been a controversial topic among society for centuries. Although some of the world has begun to ease on punishing those who are interested in same-sex relationships, religions remain strict on enforcing their rules against them. The history of the Catholic Church and homosexuality to be more specific, has been mostly negative in regards to accepting homosexuality. The film depicts a scene in which a Nun advocates against heterosexual relationships (the films interpretation of homosexuality), going as far as calling it an "abomination". With people being so devoted to their religious beliefs, they have no trouble opposing the views of communities such as LGBTQIA+.
