Dr. Paul Cameron, President of Family Research Institute, a Colorado-based think tank, announced today that a new study on the life span of homosexuals will appear in a 2005 issue of the refereed scientific journal Psychological Reports (Volume 96: pp. 693-697).
This study provides additional evidence that the practice of homosexuality, with its attendant lifestyle, shortens the life of practitioners by about 20 years.
"Obituaries have indicated that gays seldom reach old age," Cameron said. "Indeed, gay obituaries suggest that engaging in homosexuality costs participants between 15 to 25 years of life, suggesting that homosexuality is more dangerous than smoking or being fat.
"Over 10,000 gay obituaries have been collected from homosexual publications. Are the obituaries listed in the gay press representative of gay deaths in general?" Cameron asks.
A new study that compared them with Centers for Disease Control data indicates they are.
The Washington Blade, a homosexual newspaper, has been the major homosexual paper used to track homosexual obituaries. So its obituaries for death due to AIDS were compared to AIDS deaths among males who had sex with males from the CDC for 1994 through 2000. Surprisingly, there was almost perfect correspondence. The effects of the new drug cocktails for AIDS were evident in both datasets. In 1994 the CDC put the average age of death by AIDS for homosexuals at 39, the Blade at 40. By 2000, the CDC reported the median age of death at 43 and the Blade at 42. Similar correspondences were noted for the 25th and 75th centiles of deaths.
The CDC reported that 9% of heterosexuals who died of AIDS were at least 65 years of age. But less than 4% of homosexuals and IV drug abusers who died of AIDS reached 65.
"These findings add substantial support to our previous findings," said Cameron, who headed the study. "While no one has all the facts on this issue, the CDC data is about as good as it gets. These data indicate that considerable progress in medically combating HIV is being made – its even affecting deaths from other medical causes. Right now, the median age of death for gays in the obituaries is running near 60 – about tied with the median age of death for lesbians. Of course, the median age of death for adults is about 80 – so the 20 year hit for engaging in homosexuality that we reported 15 years ago continues to hold."
The new study "Gay obituaries closely track officially reported deaths from AIDS" can be read in the scientific journal, Psychological Reports (2005;96:693-697).
Why are you so preoccupied with gay people ?
I provided you with some additional reading in post 40 and in post 44 you said:
I'm not interested.But you're more than willing to spout discredited science. If you have a link then post it, otherwise whatever you say is completely immeasurable.
Here ya go:
Research links fruit fly gene to sexuality
Friday, June 3, 2005 / 04:22 PM SUMMARY:
Proponents of a genetic component of homosexuality got a boost from research that showed how the sexual orientation of fruit flies can be changed by altering a gene.
Proponents of a genetic component of homosexuality got a boost Friday from research that showed how the sexual orientation of fruit flies can be changed by altering a single gene.
A scientific paper published in the journal Cell this week showed that, by altering a "master" sexual gene that exists in two distinct male and female variants, researchers were able to change the insects' mating habits.
In a series of experiments, scientists found that females given the male variant of the gene pursued other females and wooed them with typically male behaviors.
A seductress would focus on a virgin female by first tapping the desired one's leg, using her wings to play a song and, finally, licking her.
Males given the female version of the gene became passive and receptive to the rubbing, wing-songs and licks of other males.

You mean the homosexual lifestyle isn't healthy after all? I'm stunned, STUNNED, I tell you.
Look here YOU. You discredit science and rely on anedotal testimony. Can pedophilia be cured? NO!
Sexuality cannot be "cured" one way or the other. People can be celibate, and some (bi-sexuals) can go both ways. Homosexual men who have sex with women, PRETEND and picture in their minds that the partner is a male.
I am not going to get into this with you. You are obtuse, self righteous and wrong. ALL things are possible with God, but thus far, God hasn't seen fit to cure one pedophile.
Recognize this quote? The world needs anger. The world often continues to allow evil because it isn't angry enough.
Scripter is more than capable of answering your question but I follow these threads carefully because I don't like the way society, in general, and public schools specifically are heading with the extreme amount of proselytizing that is going on there.
Are all homosexuals evil? No, of course not. I have homosexual friends, neighbors and customers (when I was self-employed). Who cares what they do in their bedrooms?!
I have a problem with homosexuals (GLSEN) telling children, "How do you know you don't like it if you haven't tried it?"
If you're not interested in these threads, don't read them.
These people have their minds set in stone... like from the Stone Age..lol. Fortunately, they're not medical doctors.

In his question and answer summary of The Gay Gene? Jeffrey Satinover said:
What about all the evidence that shows that homosexuality "is genetic"?So some of us do what we can to correct the very misleading press.There is not any, and none of the research itself claims there is; only the press and, sadly, certain researchers do-when speaking in sound bites to the public.
Someone contact Hitlery immediately! Her time is up. Ditto Janet ElReno! May they not rest in peace!
Not that much longer: In 1994 the CDC put the average age of death by AIDS for homosexuals at 39, the Blade at 40. By 2000, the CDC reported the median age of death at 43 and the Blade at 42.
The fruit fly research has been discredited. Clint - did you find that article you were looking for?
I wonder what they're afraid of?
LOL
Which part of my cited, peer reviewed studies are "crap"?
And if ad hominem is responding, perhaps you needed another drink this morning.
For someone who doesn't have a position it seems to have one. Care to prove this, cite some study or are you just going to rely on your pig and bogus defense again?
Sexuality is fluid. It can flow from heterosexual to homosexual, and from homosexual to heterosexual. Please consider reading the links I've provided.
Gee, it couldn't possibly be the 10,000 poppers I've used, or the coke, or the meth, or the PCP,or the multitude of venereal diseases I've had, or the massive doses of antibiotics which I've been forced to take, or the massive doses of anti-viral drugs I've been forced to take, or the alcohol abuse I have endured getting myself drunk enough to................, nope, couldn't have been that stuff that killed me! It must have just been bad karma!
Yeah who citing the fruit fly studies? Shelty?
