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.

Causes of death correlated with male *and* female homosexuality include homicide, suicide, drug abuse, alcoholism, auto accident, recreation accident, and others.

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!

[longtermmemmory]

not exceeding, not even using the design.

Liberals feel compelled to ban smoking because it shortens the lifespan of those who do it, why aren’t they moving to ban homosexuality on the same grounds? It would appear, yet again, that liberals are flaming hypocrites.

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.

[longtermmemmory]

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.

[LowOiL]

I imagine homosexuals have an increase risk of colon cancer.

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...

while the 561 partnered gays died at an average age of 51.
