Is the study finding correlations between suicide in general or suicide of gays?

The association between same-sex marriage legalization and reduction in suicide attempts was also significant for teens who identified as sexual minorities. For this subgroup, there was a 14-percent relative reduction in suicide attempts after the passage of same-sex marriage laws.

So it would seem that the drop was more pronounced among gay people.
