PHILADELPHIA, Apr. 5 /Christian Newswire/ -- Marriage between a man and woman seems to result in longer life for both. Does it work that way for gay marriage?
"No," says Dr. Paul Cameron of the Family Research Institute, a Colorado-based think tank.
Researchers Paul and Kirk Cameron reported at the Eastern Psychological Association convention that married gays and lesbians lived about 24 fewer years than their married heterosexual counterparts.
In Denmark, the country with the longest history of gay marriage, for 1990-2002, married heterosexual men died at a median age of 74, while the 561 partnered gays died at an average age of 51.
In Norway, married heterosexual men died at an average age of 77 yr., the 31 gays at 52. The lifespan of same-sex married lesbians was 20+ years shorter than the lifespan of married heterosexual women. In Denmark, married heterosexual women died at an average age of 78 yr. as compared to 56 yr. for the 91 same-sex married lesbians; in Norway, married heterosexual women died at an average age of 81 v. 56 for the 6 same-sex married lesbians.
"These are the ages of death as reported by the census bureaus of Norway and Denmark," said Dr. Paul Cameron. "While the internet is filled with debate about our previous findings -- largely based on obituaries -- these deaths were recorded by governments. The obituaries we assembled over the same time period in the US were similar: an average lifespan of 52 for 710 gays who ostensibly did not die of AIDS, 42 yr. for those 1,476 who supposedly did; and 55 yr. for 143 lesbians. So the findings from Scandinavia are not much different from figures derived from U.S. obituaries."
Paul Cameron, Ph.D. & Kirk Cameron, Ph.D., presented "Federal Distortion Of The Homosexual Footprint." Paul Cameron, a reviewer for the British Medical Journal, the Canadian Medical Association Journal, and the Postgraduate Medical Journal, has published over 40 scientific articles on homosexuality. The EPA is the oldest regional Psychological Association in the United States. At its Philadelphia convention members presented the latest advances in scientific work to colleagues.

with aids I can understand that male gays would die young but why would lesbians die young?
Not to pick a nit, but with my Actuarial hat on, I have to say that the more useful comparison would be of “married” homosexuals’ life expectancy with “unmarried” homosexuals’ life expectancy. An interesting addition would be life expectancy for those of “same-sex attraction” (and activity, such as that unfortunate pastor in Colorado, recently in the news ...) who are nonetheless in marriages with the opposite sex.
My first instinct is to say “small sample group”. But this is typical of science reporting today.
Rush is right. People who eat carrots have a 100% mortality rate...
Way to go boys!
So? Everything’s for the better, I guess.
Be that as it may, it’s still a moral and healthy lifestlye. /sarc
Male homosexuals, on average, die young (40’s) even when AIDS deaths are factored out.
Causes of death correlated with male *and* female homosexuality include homicide, suicide, drug abuse, alcoholism, auto accident, recreation accident, and others.
Basically, there is a statistical relationship between a homosexual lifestyle and a variety of causes of death, many related to risk-taking behavior. This is consistent with the (former) recognition of same-sex attraction as a psychological disorder, which manifests itself in a variety of lifespan-reducing ways.
This was known to life insurance actuaries 15 years ago, when I was in the insurance biz. There are probably more recent statistical studies ... but you’ll never see them in the news.
School teachers motto? “Piss on our victims.”
So, gays will receive "in their own persons the due penalty of their error." Sound like any disease you've ever heard of?
Homosexual Acts Defy Design Of The Body (Sperm can cause cancer due to it)
Wow. Even for this place, that is . . .
Wow.
I guess ya learn something new every day ...I sure didnt realize that
Smoking can take away up to seven years of a person’s life. Leave it to the “political left” to attack smokers while also favoring the homosexual lifestyle despite the greater health risks that the homosexual lifestyle brings with it.
The parts do wear out. I imagine homosexuals have an increase risk of colon cancer. The number of physical reasons why homosexuality especially male homosexuality should be discouraged are numerous and well documented. Homosexuality provides a case study in how false premises of the left become forced into mainstream society. They are doing the same with Global warming and Health Care. They make patently false assertions and then refuse to debate and instead shift to focus on “doing something” in response to fix what they expressed in their false assertions.
I would guess that previous life style choices had played out the consequences later on. Sin is the death of us all, just some gamble more than others.
Obviously one would have to say that if you buy into the idea that homosexuality is genetic, rather than choice, then obviously it’s a genetic flaw causing an early death. Darwinism at work.
I do not doubt that the ‘homosexual lifestyle’ leads to a strongly decreased life expectancy, but this report could have a major flaw- if gay couples have only been getting married since as little as a decade ago, it only makes sense that the median age of death for that group is young- for the most part , the only members of said group dying are those who die young. If you were to take a group of married couples, all of whom were married in 1994 or later, with the majority being married later than that date, and analyzed their median death age to date, you would get a similar result, as the only members of that group to die so far would be those who’ve died young.
Thank you for your post...
If Denmark runs out of queers we can ship them a supply. Rooty can go be the Mayor of Denmark. That would solve several problems.
I love FR for posts like this...
It’s amazing what you can squeeze into a mere 51 years.
>>A lifestyle consisting of exceeding design tolerances will tend to do that.<<
I don’t think it would surprise anybody to find out gay men have shorter lives on average that straight men.
I do wonder how they got this data. Not even hospital records are going to reliably tell sexual orientation. That makes it hard to take a really representative random sample of the population.
I’m sure it’s because of right wing heterosexual white males.
LOL!
not exceeding, not even using the design.
You can use a unicycle as a submarine.
The study was done in Denmark and Norway, which have both had homosexual marriage for over a decade. It is fairly easy to determine if a man dies and his "spouse" is also a man that the deceased is a homosexual.

Perhaps the carpet munchers are choking to death on furballs like a cat? That is a real possibility./ sarc.
Is this a propaganda article to comvince us to vote for gay marriages? LOL
Ohhh.. another zinger... keep them coming sir.
actuall is is perfectly logical because homsexuals are saying SPECIFICALLY homosexual base marriage is the same as normal marriage. You have to compare the two.
It shows that homosexuals contnue their high risk life style regadless of any legal trappings to simulate normalcy.
Yes... see post 15 for link
Why this is worse than smoking. The government should get involved pronto. Every homosexual should be taxed to cover health care costs. And they should be tattooed on the forehead with a Surgeon Generals warning.
must be the jubilation and weekly anniversaries...

You’re welcome. As I said, this mortality research is 15 years old, give or take, because I left my former employer (a major life insurance company) to do the Mom Thing twelve years ago. (The Precipitating Cause turned 13 on Friday :-).
Violence, substance abuse and suicide.
Bingo. Also auto accident and household fire.
Homosexual inclination is a statistical marker for risk-taking behavior.
Smoking is the same, actually - most smokers do not die of smoking-related illness. It’s a “marker” for other high-risk lifestyle choices.
Politicians ignore reports from the CDC when pandering to deviants brings more votes than listening to science. It is called taking guidance from Hollywood and the sicko crowd. Now, if one simply replaces homos with IV drug users, politicians might squawk.
There is a considerable identity of homosexuals with illegal drug users. That's one reason the mortality stats match up.
