The answer is family acceptance.

LGBT young people are at high risk of bullying and peer rejection due to societal prejudices, they are also affected by prior vulnerabilities. However the main cause of health and mental health problems with coming out is linked to family acceptance. Actual or anticipated family acceptance or rejection of LGBT youth causes high levels of stress which can affect the body physically and mentally. Youth that come from religious households are at high risk of being rejected by their families. Any LGBT youth that is rejected by their families can end up alone and struggling to survive without family support, this can lead to depression, anxiety, drug abuse, self harm and so forth.
