This female BYU student said she had thought it would be easier to kill herself then face coming out as a lesbian

Brigham Young University is widely known as one of the most unfriendly campuses for gay and lesbian students in the country

Derek, a 24-year-old gay student at BYU who majors in International Relations promises students that 'it gets better'

Another student, identified as Mark, said: 'I know what it feels like when your father condemns you and people won't talk to you. 

'It wasn't too long ago I ended up in a psychiatric ward, silent, not willing to talk to anyone because I believed no one could love me.'

The video reveals the personal stories of each student as they went from being happy carefree children to becoming suicidal after realising that they were gay, which is not accepted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The touching insight reveals how each student spiraled into depression, strived to become the 'perfect Mormon' in the hope of somehow becoming straight and when that didn't work, contemplated or attempted suicide.

Reaching out to others who may find themselves in the same situation, the students assure them that they are not alone. 

Jenna said that she tried to force herself to be straight but only found peace when she accepted her sexuality

The video was made by campus group Understanding Same-Gender Attraction (USGA), which is not officially recognized by the Mormon university
