"What is very clear from this data is that risk factors for chronic health problems are prevalent among sexual minorities and need to be added to our list of concerns," said Conron. "In the short run, clinicians and public health agencies need to collaborate and implement culturally appropriate health interventions."

Kill more of the unborn and withdraw heath care from the elderly ..these poor perverts need the the health care $$$ more

I work for a restaurant company that places a high value on youth and diversity. My GM is gay, and we have two other managers who are gay and several gay employees. My GM who is very conservative and didn’t come out until well into his 30’s is the only gay person I’ve ever met who I didn’t think had at least some psychological issues. Of course he’s still a flaming liberal and displays a marked bias for his gay employees. That’s ok these days as it’s not a problem to discriminate against straight white guys. That being said, other than my boss, I’ve never met a gay person who didn’t have issues that seriously affected their life.

I read that NYC public health officials did a survey a few years back to estimate the number of gay men as a percentage of the population for the purpose of planning health resource allocation. They were reportedly somewhat surprised to find out that the number was nowhere near 10%. Try more like 2 - 3 %.

But I suppose it depends on how you define the term used in this article, "orientation," which can a much looser and more transient thing than a settled permanent pattern of behavior. If you counted everyone who ever had a dream, a desire, a sensation of romantic ambiguity or an experience of sexual confusion, I suppose it would be 100%.

Does anyone else find the phrase “sexual minorities” an odd, er, coupling of words? I know what the writer means, but I hadn’t heard it phrased that way before. It also has a manipulative PC slant, trying to hop on the racism bandwagon by using the minority codeword.

and lesbian women about 50 percent more likely to be obese than heterosexual women.

Noooo!

Oddly, they appeared to overlook the fact that male homos are the #1 vector for the spread of infectious diseases and incubators for antibiotic resistant microbes

Dr. C. Leigh Broadhurst (M.D.) was on the G. Gordon Liddy show many years ago, and went into detail about homosexuality, infection, and disease.

She chronicled how even ancient societies hand recognized that homosexual BEHAVIOR AND ACTS was devastating to the health. It ruins the immune system, even withouth HIV and AIDS. Moreover, another man's semem inserted into a man is a toxic concoction. Men (surprise!) have a negative physical reaction to another man's semen in their body.

I have a difficult time believing that a study intending to describe "health disparities" between homosexual and heterosexual men doesn't mention sexually transmitted diseases at all. Talk about political correctness!!! Name any sexually transmitted infectious disease whatsoever (there are dozens of them, AIDS being only the most topical in recent years) and it is virtually certain that its incidence in "gay" males is significantly higher than in their "straight" counterparts. Obviously, a "gay" lifestyle will increase a man's life insurance premiums markedly, if the risks are evaluated statistically in an objective manner.

The reasons for the wide statistical discrepancy in incidence of sexually transmitted diseases - and their resultant toll on life expectancy - are not hard to decipher with a little common sense and logic.

We should care about this because it’s supports research that says the homosexual lifestyle cuts 20 years off the life of gays and about 10 years off the life of lesbians.

It means that those who tell these people to stop their behavior are actually the ones who are demonstrating true caring.

I don’t know about gay men, but in women with androgenizing syndromes they tend to have more male hormones and a higher rate of being lesbian. These syndromes also cause hirsitism and obesity.

Also, it might be because men hate ugly women so better a gal pal than no body...

one to two percent of men in any country is “gay”. So there is a genetic predisposition.

But another 10 percent are bisexual, and can be influenced by their upbringing.

Because it’s one of those healthcare cost drivers that skyrocket insurance premiums when insurance companies are forced to base them on “community ratings”.

All the hetero males get to subsidize the premiums of gay men (who also have higher average incomes).

If it’s not one STD it’s another. All the uproar about AIDS, then effective drug combinations came along to reduce the virus to undetectable levels, for decades, effectively making the disease manageable like diabetes. Then, they start slowly going back to the behaviors that led to the spread of disease in the first place.

I understand that there is now a serious problem with cancers forming in certain uh ... “intimate” parts of the body due to repeated infection with human papilloma virus. These people need to find another outlet for their compulsions that does not involve sexual contact, that is, if they can’t or won’t find God and cease the behavior entirely.

No doubt, next up will be some sort of sexually transmitted superbug along the lines of MRSA or C. Diff, but worse. It’s not going to stop until the disease vector no longer exists, and that means stopping the behavior.

Nature clearly does not approve, above and beyond religious condemnation.

Oddly, they appeared to overlook the fact that male homos are the #1 vector for the spread of infectious diseases and incubators for antibiotic resistant microbes—this is the big issue, not obesity for crying out loud. You can’t infect other people with obesity or tobacco.

Turns out even research physicians (who need to maintain a perspective of complete objectivity in order for their conclusions to have validity) are incapable of seperating themselves from politic correctness.

We know from earlier studies that buttsex causes immediate and long-term physical damage, some of which is life threatening. Obviously they are more suceptible to STDs, including AIDs and Hep-C. Gay men are by far the most likely group to have multiple partners, and the least likely group to be monogamous. They are also the most likely to abuse or be abused by their partners, and the most likely to killed or be killed by them. Furthermore, they are the most likely group to smoke, abuse alchohol and drugs or comit suicide. On top of this, they are just as likely to die in an accident or contract a non-sexual disease as anyone else their age.

It is partially for these reseasons that the accepted life expectancy for gay men in this country fell to a third-world level of 42 years during the mid 80's (at the height of the AIDS crisis). I have no idea what it has risen to today, but it is definitely still in the 60's.

I'm not sure why people think they need to cover this up. Gay men seem to be universally filled with self-loathing. You'd think that they would embrace this number.

Male homosexuals are at the bottom of the white trash heap. And yes, it is mainly whites that participate in this disgusting behavior. Many of these perverts contract and spread literally dozens of venereal diseases. Never is this addressed as a public health issue; always a political issue for victims of discrimination. Again, they are white trash at its worst.

Because homos will have NO RATIONING of healthcare,
and you WILL be rationed in order to pay for their healthcare.
