Although there are many reasons to oppose the normalization of homosexuality, this reason alone would be enough: it represents an enormous risk to human health.
According to a recent and extensive survey, homosexuals have "excess health problems" compared to sexually normal people. They suffer disproportionately from "impaired physical and mental health, heavy alcohol consumption, and heavy cigarette use."
The National Health Interview Survey, which has been conducted since 1957, included a question about sexual preference for the first time in 2013 and 2014. The results are astounding and alarming for anyone who cares about people who are trapped in a sexually abnormal lifestyle.
The survey included 69,000 participants - so it can’t be dismissed because of sample size - and it was published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) Internal Medicine, so it can’t be dismissed as the product of right wing homophobic bigots. The leader of the project is Gilbert Gonzales of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
The survey found that a sexually non-normative lifestyle takes a particular toll on women and bisexuals. Lesbians are 91 percent more likely to report inferior health outcomes compared to heterosexual women, and bisexual women are 100 percent more likely to report chronic health conditions.
Those in alternative lifestyles were more likely than the sexually normal to report heavy drinking and smoking.
The politically-compromised researchers were quick to blame social bias and rejection for these devastating numbers but this is utterly implausible. Homosexuality is now the most-favored sexual preference on the planet, celebrated by lawmakers, Hollywood celebrities, and presidential candidates.
If there are any folks experiencing bigotry and social rejection, it would be Christian students, bakers, florists, photographers, or wedding planners. Yet they seem remarkably well-adjusted considering the constant abuse they take from every quarter.
Further evidence that these alarming health results in the “gay” population can’t be chalked up to bias and prejudice comes from the fact that similar surveys in Scandinavian countries consistently show similar results, despite the plain fact that sexually adventurous lifestyles have been celebrated there for decades.
The simple truth is that homosexual behavior is harmful to everyone who participates in it. It is harmful physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Those who care about homosexuals have a duty to warn them. If we care about homosexuals, we will tell them the truth about the dangers of homosexual behavior. Love can do no less.
No Scripture is quoted here, just facts and data from JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association).
Incidentally, the link to the JAMA article here has been scrubbed by Yahoo.
Yahoo scrubbed the link? Why, since the article said “homophobia” was the cause.
It is a medical fact that a woman’s vagina has three times as many nerve endings as a man’s penis. A rectum has less than one third as many. Do the math.
Yahoo scrubbing the article makes them complicit in the harm homosexuality causes.

But MATH’s HARD, I’ll just take your word for it :-)
This has been known for sometime. So where are those people fleeing this pernicious lifestyle?
It was the winning argument in the whole “homosexual “rights’” debate, but few had the testicles to speak out about it
Reminds of Reagan calling out promiscuity during the AIDS “crisis” They wanted the $$$ but not the criticism or responsibility
Which is typical
A sad and confused world applauds these sad and confused lives that are broken, dysfunctional, and deviant. The homosexual thing almost always derives from a childhood in a seriously dysfunctional or abusive home.
It is one thing to not condemn them and to actually have some answers for them, but it is an entirely different thing to allow or support a political agenda that tries to force some kind of special rights if you are a homosexual or disallow calling homosexuality what is it - deviant behavior. The political gay agenda, like the lifestyle itself, is from the pit of hell, and the gay agenda needs to be cast right back into the pit of hell. Gays on the other hand should be seen as redeemable people that Jesus died for.
So where does that leave men who want to bugger women?
As long as it’s celebrated by our government and society, they think their “lifestyle” is harmless.
Well, if homos were actually “born that way” they would never be able to reproduce and the trait would die out.
This is designed to blame Christians. Christians literally make them sick.
Or I suppose the more reasonable question is, where does that leave women whose “men” want to bugger?
I did, and it damn near killed me.
Back before aids became epidemic, hepatitis was common among the gays.
Those numbers are not large . . . and the vast majority of those are disappointed after the first experience. Not surprising given that most people can simulate the “experience” with and appropriately shaped piece of soap in the shower . . . which is a far less painful than a visit to a doctor’s office for a prostate exam.
I would venture that promiscuity is the biggest risk for health.
There's always some kids who like the wrapping paper more than the present.
