Of course he is making some valid points but as in the U.S. the fact that he is Christian and not a promoter of the gay lobby makes his remarks the ravings of a lunatic.

"I think we're going to owe smokers a big apology when the homosexual community's own statistics for its health - which it presents when it wants more money for health - are that is has higher rates of drug-taking, of suicide, it has the life of a male reduced by up to 20 years," he told the audience.

I'm not sure what statistics he's talking about here. There was a study done that said 20 years, but it wasn't from the homosexual community, and the methodology was dubious at best.

There is a well known study that the homosexuals can’t stand, that used many thousands of their own obituaries gleaned from their own magazines that clearly shows that the average (I did say AVERAGE) life span of a male homosexual with AIDS is 39 years.

Without AIDS, the life span is only 2 years longer (41 to be exact; suicide, alcoholism, gay men’s bowel syndrome, STDs, drugs, and murder from partners).

So, since smokers will more than likely live into their 70s, look at the life span of the average male homosexual with or without AIDS.

And yet we’re supposed to embrace the homosexual agenda (39/41 years average) and jump all over smokers (70+).

What’s wrong with this picture?

[Blue Turtle]

I wonder what “financial burden” the gay community puts on our healthcare? For years I’ve heard liberals scream that they don’t want to pay for smokers’ health problems or obese folks, etc. Do you have to come from a protected class for it to be alright?

So smokin’ (gay) sex must be doubly dangerous.

I once saw statistics published from Canada that showed homosexual men had, on average, a 21 year lower life-span compared to the average male. Disease, addiction, suicide and violence take their toll

I have since looked for similar statistics in the USA. I have not found any. Maybe they are out there, but given the PC climate we live in, they are not going to be found easily.

How do you get money to study s**t like this? Someone filled out a form saying "we want X amount to find out if being a fag or smoking a fag is healthier".

And someone actually gave them money.

The Kenyan must go.
