So can employers penalize them for higher insurance cost now like they do to smokers?
ZiiING! LOL!
Society got smart and ostracized tobacco use because it poses a great health risk. While confronted with a bigger health risk--male homosexuality--society does its damnedest to promote it as a valid lifestyle.
The problem is that gays smoke like chimneys also, you know, probably to get the taste out of their mouth.
No surprise here. After all, it's an "alternative lifestyle."
As I see it, any behavior that results in higher insurance costs should be reimbursed by higher premiums to those engaging in that behavoir. Life insurance is higher for smokers, those overweight (great or small), those who have dangerous jobs, sky divers, etc. Auto insurance premiums are higher for those with DUIs... As I see it, insurance companies should be able to discriminate for the very purpose of staying in business.
LOL. Besides smoking, alcoholism is prevalent in their "community."
As much as libs frown on smoking for its risk to health and longevity, you'd think they'd pay a little attention to homosexual behavior.
Once again, they need alcohol in order to do whatever it is they do.
Indeed - it makes no sense to promote, encourage and celebrate any lifestyle that causes such severe health hazards, especially deadly health hazards.
If I'm correct, didn't Homosexuality used to be on the American Medical Association's list of Physcological Disorders, before commies forced them to recend it back in the 70s
In reality, it flows both directions: People can change.
Here is the under reported story of the century.
Being homosexual more hazardous to your health than smoking three packs a day.
Gay activism was clearly the force that propelled the APA to declassify homosexuality.You can find the quote here as well.
As I see it, same-sex attraction is really quite complicated, but is the result of confusion.
I don't get it, what are the lesbians dying from? Obesity?
This data is probably very skewed.
In the 1950s and 1960s, there were just a lot fewer gays. Even if they had some interest in the same sex, many chose to get married to the opposite sex and follow a traditional lifestyle. Hence, in 2005, practicing gays are a smaller portion of the Baby Boom generation than Generation X.
Hence, if you sample obituaries, there are going to be many self-identified "gays" in the younger generation, and fewer in the older generation. So the ratio of Baby Boom: Generation X deaths will be skewed.
