I guess they aren't so "gay" after all.

[ClearCase_guy]

So, the news is: the mentally ill tend to be mentally ill?

Noted.

[Vigilanteman]

In other news, it was discovered that water is wet and mentally ill people tend to have more mental problems.

[skeeter]

How about ‘homosexuality tends to be more common among people with mental problems’.

[HiTech RedNeck]

That’s well known. It’s timidity in society that keeps it from being treated frankly, like smoking would be.

[babygene]

Well duhhh...

Homos are already crazy. ie; not normal. What would you expect?

[jettester]

Ya think?

[cherry]

this is such a "duh" report....of course, when one's ideation is completely opposed to the normal majority, its hard to fit in....

we can't help that....it is what it is....

civilization and the human race depends on heterosexuality and everything in life is geared to that....

I wish that instead of having parades and parties and stamps for homosexuals, we would quietly let them live their lives the way they want and stop making it such a spectacle...

[DungeonMaster]

That’s why they make such good Democrats.

[ChocChipCookie]

This study needs to filed away right along with the one about the large number of physical and mental defects in the British Pakastani population. Can’t have the truth getting out there.

Homosexual people tend to experience more mental health problems than heterosexual people

Or is it that mentally ill people are more prone to engage in homosexuality? This is a chicken-and-egg situation. Does homosexuality cause mental illness, or does mental illness precipitate homosexuality, or are they both symptoms of another disorder entirely? Regardless, the terms "normal" and "healthy" do not apply.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That would be because homosexuality IS a mental health problem, and it used to be classified as such by the American Psychiatric Association until the assault homosexuals started showing up at their yearly meetings and targeting them for harassment at their homes and places of business.

[lurk]

Is this study funded by tax dollars?

It’s un-PC. It will be buried.

[Scrambler Bob]

Mental —

So I guess they can’t have a gun. (Oops I mean a rifle.)

[Gaffer]

That’s like saying a corpse is at risk of dying.

[miss marmelstein]

Oh, bull. They are mixed-up people either from being cruelly treated by adults as children or by some biological malfunction. As adults, they fall into all kinds of deviant and disfunctional behavior which only adds to their unhappiness.

My advice? Never sit in front of a gay guy when viewing “Mommie Dearest.” It’ll teach you everything you want to know about crazy queens.

[Sans-Culotte]

The doctor finds this result ‘’very worrying’’.

[allendale]

The most significant politically correct falsehood ever told was when the American Psychiatric Association declared that, contrary to all prior clinical experiences and consensus, homosexuality was no longer considered a mental illness. That was the same year the Supreme Court legalized abortion on demand. 1973 was a very bad year for America.

[huldah1776]

So what does this mean?

“This “lends support to the idea that people who feel discriminated against experience social stressors, which in turn increases their risk of experiencing mental health problems,” he says.

These higher levels of psychiatric problems in homosexual people call for greater efforts at preventing the issues arising, Dr. Chakraborty adds.”

The most scientifically credible studies show that children of heterosexual parents fare better on numerous indicators of personal well-being than children of homosexual parents. Authored by Mark Regnerus, a sociology professor at the University of Texas at Austin, the study was published in the July 2012 issue of Social Science Research. Children of lesbian mothers are nearly 12 times (≅ 1200%) as likely to say they were sexually touched by a parent or adult as those raised in intact biological families. Asked if they had ever been raped, 31 percent of those raised by lesbian mothers and 25 percent of children raised by gay fathers answered yes, compared to 8 percent of those from intact biological homes. Twenty percent (20%) of those raised by lesbians and 25% of those raised by gay men reported having contracted a sexual transmitted infection, compared to 8% of those raised by their biological parents. Twelve percent (12%) of those with a lesbian mother and 24% of those with a gay father reported having recently contemplated suicide, compared to only 5% raised by an intact biological family or a single parent. Nineteen percent (19%) of those raised by a lesbian mother or gay father were currently or recently receiving psychotherapy, compared to 8% of those raised by their heterosexual parents. Twenty-eight percent (28%) of those of working age raised by a lesbian mother and 20% of those raised by a gay father reported being currently unemployed, compared to 8% raised by an intact biological family and 13% raised by a single parent. Regnerus’ findings conflict with studies widely touted by homosexual activists which have claimed that children raised by homosexual parents fare as well or even better than their peers. Many of these studies, Regnerus points out, have relied on small, self-selected samples, parent rather than child reported outcomes, and have exhibited evidence of political bias. Regnerus drew his data from the New Family Structures Study, a data collection project that drew from a large, random sample of American young adults. This study is one of the few that measures outcomes as reported by the children of homosexuals, rather than relying on an assessment by the homosexual parent. Children from same-sex households much less likely to graduate high school: large study Girls living in “gay” households are only 15 percent as likely to graduate compared to girls from opposite sex married homes. A large-scale study by Douglas W. Allen, professor of economics at Simon Fraser University, has found that children in same-sex households were only 65 percent as likely to graduate from high school as those living in traditional opposite sex marriage families.
