RUKOUS HOMOLIITTOJEN PUOLESTA

Kaikki rukoilkaa kriittisinä päivinä
homoliittojen puolesta.
Ettei Suomeen aleta ajaa taivaallista Raamatun
oppia maallisen lain malliksi, kuten muslimit
tekee koraanin kanssa.
Onhan nähty mitä sellaisesta suvaitsemattomasta
fundamentalismista seuraa!

    THE NEGATIVE HEALTH EFFECTS OF
    HOMOSEXUALITY

    --------------------------------------------------
    ------------------------------


    by
    Timothy J. Dailey

    Homosexual activists attempt to portray their
    lifestyle as normal and healthy, and insist that
    homosexual relationships are the equivalent in
    every way to their heterosexual counterparts.
    Hollywood and the media relentlessly propagate
    the image of the fit, healthy, and well-adjusted
    homosexual. The reality is quite opposite to this
    caricature which was recently conceded by the
    homosexual newspaper New York Blade News:

    Reports at a national conference about sexually
    transmitted diseases indicate that gay men are in
    the highest risk group for several of the most
    serious diseases. . . . Scientists believe that
    the increased number of sexually tranmitted
    diseases (STD) cases is the result of an increase
    in risky sexual practices by a growing number of
    gay men who believe hiv is no longer a life-
    threatening illness.1

    Instability and promiscuity typically
    characterize homosexual relationships. These two
    factors increase the incidence of serious and
    incurable STDs. In addition, some homosexual
    behaviors put practitioners at higher risk for a
    variety of ailments, as catalogued by the
    following research data:

    Risky Sexual Behavior on the Rise Among
    Homosexuals. Despite two decades of intensive
    efforts to educate homosexuals against the
    dangers of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
    (AIDS) and other STDs, the incidence of unsafe
    sexual practices that often result in various
    diseases is on the rise.


    According to the Centers for Disease Control and
    Prevention (CDC), from 1994 to 1997 the
    proportion of homosexuals reporting having had
    anal sex increased from 57.6 percent to 61.2
    percent, while the percentage of those reporting
    "always" using condoms declined from 69.6 percent
    to 60 percent.2


    The CDC reported that during the same period the
    proportion of men reporting having multiple sex
    partners and unprotected anal sex increased from
    23.6 percent to 33.3 percent. The largest
    increase in this category (from 22 percent to
    33.3 percent) was reported by homosexuals twenty-
    five years old or younger.3

    Homosexuals Failing to Disclose Their HIV Status
    to Sex Partners


    A study presented July 13, 2000 at the XIII
    International AIDS Conference in Durban, South
    Africa disclosed that a significant number of
    homosexual and bisexual men with HIV "continue to
    engage in unprotected sex with people who have no
    idea they could be contracting HIV."4 Researchers
    from the University of California, San Francisco
    found that thirty-six percent of homosexuals
    engaging in unprotected oral, anal, or vaginal
    sex failed to disclose that they were HIV
    positive to casual sex partners.5


    A CDC report revealed that, in 1997, 45 percent
    of homosexuals reporting having had unprotected
    anal intercourse during the previous six months
    did not know the HIV serostatus of all their sex
    partners. Even more alarming, among those who
    reported having had unprotected anal intercourse
    and multiple partners, 68 percent did not know
    the HIV serostatus of their partners.6

    Young Homosexuals are at Increased Risk.
    Following in the footsteps of the generation of
    homosexuals decimated by AIDS, younger
    homosexuals are engaging in dangerous sexual
    practices at an alarming rate.


    A Johns Hopkins University School of Public
    Health study of three-hundred-sixty-one young men
    who have sex with men (MSM) aged fifteen to
    twenty-two found that around 40 percent of
    participants reported having had anal-insertive
    sex, and around 30 percent said they had had anal-
    receptive sex. Thirty-seven percent said they had
    not used a condom for anal sex during their last
    same-sex encounter. Twenty-one percent of the
    respondents reported using drugs or alcohol
    during their last same-sex encounter.7


    A five-year CDC study of 3,492 homosexual males
    aged fifteen to twenty-two found that one-quarter
    had unprotected sex with both men and women.
    Another CDC study of 1,942 homosexual and
    bisexual men with HIV found that 19 percent had
    at least one episode of unprotected anal sex—the
    riskiest sexual behavior—in 1998 and 1997, a 50
    percent increase from the previous two years.8

    Homosexual Promiscuity. Studies indicate that the
    average male homosexual has hundreds of sex
    partners in his lifetime:


    A.P. Bell and M.S. Weinberg, in their classic
    study of male and female homosexuality, found
    that 43 percent of white male homosexuals had sex
    with 500 or more partners, with 28 percent having
    1,000 or more sex partners.9


    In their study of the sexual profiles of 2,583
    older homosexuals published in Journal of Sex
    Research, Paul Van de Ven et al., found that only
    2.7 percent claimed to have had sex with one
    partner only. The most common response, given by
    21.6 percent of the respondents, was of having a
    hundred-one to five hundred lifetime sex
    partners.10


    A survey conducted by the homosexual magazine
    Genre found that 24 percent of the respondents
    said they had had more than a hundred sexual
    partners in their lifetime. The magazine noted
    that several respondents suggested including a
    category of those who had more than a thousand
    sexual partners.11


    In his study of male homosexuality in Western
    Sexuality: Practice and Precept in Past and
    Present Times, M. Pollak found that "few
    homosexual relationships last longer than two
    years, with many men reporting hundreds of
    lifetime partners."12

    Promiscuity among Homosexual Couples. Even in
    those homosexual relationships in which the
    partners consider themselves to be in a committed
    relationship, the meaning of "committed"
    typically means something radically different
    from marriage.


    In The Male Couple, authors David P. McWhirter
    and Andrew M. Mattison reported that in a study
    of a hundred-fifty-six males in homosexual
    relationships lasting from one to thirty-seven
    years,

    Only seven couples have a totally exclusive
    sexual relationship, and these men all have been
    together for less than five years. Stated another
    way, all couples with a relationship lasting more
    than five years have incorporated some provision
    for outside sexual activity in their
    relationships.13


    In Male and Female Homosexuality, M. Saghir and
    E. Robins found that the average male homosexual
    live-in relationship lasts between two and three
    years.14

    Unhealthy Aspects of "Monogamous" Homosexual
    Relationships. Even those homosexual
    relationships that are loosely termed
    "monogamous" do not necessarily result in
    healthier behavior.


    The journal AIDS reported that men involved in
    relationships engaged in anal intercourse and
    oral-anal intercourse with greater frequency than
    those without a steady partner.15 Anal
    intercourse has been linked to a host of
    bacterial and parasitical sexually transmitted
    diseases, including AIDS.


    The exclusivity of the relationship did not
    diminish the incidence of unhealthy sexual acts,
    which are commonplace among homosexuals. An
    English study published in the same issue of the
    journal AIDS concurred, finding that most
    "unsafe" sex acts among homosexuals occur in
    steady relationships.16

    Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a collection
    of more than seventy types of viruses that can
    cause warts, or papillomas, on various parts of
    the body. More than twenty types of HPV are
    incurable STDs that can infect the genital tract
    of both men and women. Most HPV infections are
    subclinical or asymptomatic, with only one in a
    hundred people experiencing genital warts.


    HPV is "almost universal" among homosexuals.
    According to the homosexual newspaper The
    Washington Blade: "A San Francisco study of Gay
    and bisexual men revealed that HPV infection was
    almost universal among HIV-positive men, and that
    60 percent of HIV-negative men carried HPV."17


    HPV can lead to anal cancer. At the recent Fourth
    International AIDS Malignancy Conference at the
    National Institutes of Health, Dr. Andrew Grulich
    announced that "most instances of anal cancer are
    caused by a cancer-causing strain of HPV through
    receptive anal intercourse. HPV infects over 90
    percent of HIV-positive gay men and 65 percent of
    HIV-negative gay men, according to a number of
    recent studies."18


    The link between HPV and cervical cancer. Citing
    a presentation by Dr. Stephen Goldstone to the
    International Congress on Papillomavirus in Human
    Pathology in Paris, The Washington Blade reports
    that "HPV is believed to cause cervical cancer in
    women."19

    Hepatitis: A potentially fatal liver disease that
    increases the risk of liver cancer.


    Hepatitis A: The Mortality and Morbidity Weekly
    Report published by the CDC reports: "Outbreaks
    of hepatitis A among men who have sex with men
    are a recurring problem in many large cities in
    the industrialized world."20


    Hepatitis B: This is a serious disease caused by
    a virus that attacks the liver. The virus, which
    is called hepatitis B virus (HBV), can cause
    lifelong infection, cirrhosis (scarring) of the
    liver, liver cancer, liver failure, and death.
    Each year in the United States, more than 200,000
    people of all ages contract hepatitis B and close
    to 5,000 die of sickness caused by AIDS. The CDC
    reports that MSM are at increased risk for
    hepatitis B.21


    Hepatitis C is an inflammation of the liver that
    can cause cirrhosis, liver failure and liver
    cancer. The virus can lie dormant in the body for
    up to thirty years before flaring up. Although
    less so than with hepatitis A and B, MSM who
    engage in unsafe sexual practices remain at
    increased risk for contracting hepatitis C.22

    Gonorrhea: An inflammatory disease of the genital
    tract. Gonorrhea traditionally occurs on the
    genitals, but has recently appeared in the rectal
    region and in the throat. Although easily treated
    by antibiotics, according to the CDC only "about
    50 percent of men have some signs or symptoms,
    and "many women who are infected have no symptoms
    of infection."23 Untreated gonorrhea can have
    serious and permanent health consequences,
    including infertility damage to the prostate and
    urethra.


    A CDC report documents "significant increases
    during 1994 to 1997 in rectal gonorrhea . . .
    among MSM," indicating that "safe sex" practices
    may not be taken as seriously as the AIDS
    epidemic begins to slow.24 In 1999 the CDC
    released data showing that male rectal gonorrhea
    is increasing among homosexuals amidst an overall
    decline in national gonorrhea rates. The report
    attributed the increase to a larger percentage of
    homosexuals engaging in unsafe sexual behavior.25


    The incidence of throat Gonorrhea is strongly
    associated with homosexual behavior. The Canadian
    Medical Association Journal found that "gonorrhea
    was associated with urethral discharge . . . and
    homosexuality (3.7 times higher than the rate
    among heterosexuals)."26 Similarly, a study in
    the Journal of Clinical Pathology found that
    homosexual men had a much higher prevalence of
    pharyngeal (throat) gonorrhea—15.2 percent
    compared with 4.1 percent for heterosexual men.27

    Syphilis: A venereal disease that, if left
    untreated, can spread throughout the body over
    time, causing serious heart abnormalities, mental
    disorders, blindness, and death. The initial
    symptoms of syphilis are often mild and painless,
    leading some individuals to avoid seeking
    treatment. According to the National Institutes
    of Health, the disease may be mistaken for other
    common illnesses: "syphilis has sometimes been
    called ‘the great imitator’ because its early
    symptoms are similar to those of many other
    diseases." Early symptoms include rashes, moist
    warts in the groin area, slimy white patches in
    the mouth, or pus-filled bumps resembling chicken
    pox.28


    According to the CDC, "transmission of the
    organism occurs during vaginal, anal, or oral
    sex."29 In addition, the Archives of Internal
    Medicine found that homosexuals acquired syphilis
    at a rate ten times that of heterosexuals.30


    The CDC reports that those who contract syphilis
    face potentially deadly health consequences: "It
    is now known that the genital sores caused by
    syphilis in adults also make it easier to
    transmit and acquire HIV infection sexually.
    There is a two to five fold increased risk of
    acquiring HIV infection when syphilis is
    present."31

    Gay Bowel Syndrome (GBS):32 The Journal of the
    American Medical Association refers to GBS
    problems such as proctitis, proctocolitis, and
    enteritis as "sexually transmitted
    gastrointestinal syndromes."33 Many of the
    bacterial and protozoa pathogens that cause GBS
    are found in feces and transmitted to the
    digestive system: According to the pro-homosexual
    text Anal Pleasure and Health, "[s]exual
    activities provide many opportunities for tiny
    amounts of contaminated feces to find their way
    into the mouth of a sexual partner . . . The most
    direct route is oral-anal contact."34


    Proctitis and Proctocolitis are inflammations of
    the rectum and colon that cause pain, bloody
    rectal discharge and rectal spasms. Proctitis is
    associated with STDs such as gonorrhea,
    chlamydia, herpes, and syphilis that are
    widespread among homosexuals.35 The Sexually
    Transmitted Disease Information Center of the
    Journal of the American Medical Association
    reports that "[p]roctitis occurs predominantly
    among persons who participate in anal
    intercourse."


    Enteritis is inflammation of the small intestine.
    According to the Sexually Transmitted Disease
    Information Center of the Journal of the American
    Medical Association, "enteritis occurs among
    those whose sexual practices include oral-fecal
    contact."36 Enteritis can cause abdominal pain,
    severe cramping, intense diarrhea, fever,
    malabsorption of nutrients, weight loss.37
    According to a report in The Health Implications
    of Homosexuality by the Medical Institute for
    Sexual Health, some pathogens associated with
    enteritis and proctocolitis [see below] "appear
    only to be sexually transmitted among men who
    have sex with men."38

    HIV/AIDS Among Homosexuals. The human
    immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is responsible for
    causing AIDS, for which there exists no cure.


    Homosexual men are the largest risk category. The
    CDC reports that homosexuals comprise the single
    largest exposure category of the more than
    600,000 males with AIDS in the United States. As
    of December 1999, "men who have sex with men" and
    "men who have sex with men and inject drugs"
    together accounted for 64 percent of the
    cumulative total of male AIDS cases.39


    Women risk contracting HIV/AIDS through sexual
    relations with infected MSM. According to the
    CDC, "HIV infection among U.S. women has
    increased significantly over the last decade,
    especially in communities of color. CDC estimates
    that, in the United States, between 120,000 and
    160,000 adult and adolescent females are living
    with HIV infection, including those with AIDS."
    In 1999, for example, most of the women (40
    percent) reported with AIDS were infected through
    heterosexual exposure to HIV.40 That number is
    actually higher, as "historically, more than two-
    thirds of AIDS cases among women initially
    reported without identified risk were later
    reclassified as heterosexual transmission."41


    Homosexuals with HIV are at increased risk for
    developing other life-threatening diseases. A
    paper delivered at the Fourth International AIDS
    Malignancy Conference at the National Institutes
    of Health reported that homosexual men with HIV
    have "a 37-fold increase in anal cancer, a 4-fold
    increase in Hodgkin’s disease (cancer of the
    lymph nodes), a 2.7-fold increase in cancer of
    the testicles, and a 2.5 fold increase in lip
    cancer."42

    HIV/AIDS Among Young People


    AIDS incidence is on the rise among teens and
    young adults. The CDC reports that, "even though
    AIDS incidence (the number of new cases diagnosed
    during a given time period, usually a year) is
    declining, there has not been a comparable
    decline in the number of newly diagnosed HIV
    cases among youth.43


    Young homosexual men are at particular risk. The
    CDC estimates that "at least half of all new HIV
    infections in the United States are among people
    under twenty-five, and the majority of young
    people are infected sexually."44 By the end of
    1999, 29,629 young people aged thirteen to twenty-
    four were diagnosed with AIDS in the United
    States. MSM were the single largest risk
    category: in 1999, for example, 50 percent of all
    new AIDS cases were reported among young
    homosexuals.45


    Sexually active young women are also at risk. The
    CDC reports: "In 1999, among young women the same
    age, 47 percent of all AIDS cases reported were
    acquired heterosexually and 11 percent were
    acquired through injection drug use."

    Homosexuals with STDs Are at an Increased Risk
    for HIV Infection. Studies of MSM treated in STD
    clinics show rates of infection as high as 36
    percent in major cities.46 A CDC study attributed
    the high infection rate to having high numbers of
    anonymous sex partners: "[S]yphilis, gonorrhea,
    and chlamydia apparently have been introduced
    into a population of MSM who have large numbers
    of anonymous partners, which can result in rapid
    and extensive transmission of STDs."47 The CDC
    report concluded: "Persons with STDs, including
    genital ulcer disease and nonulcerative STD, have
    a twofold to fivefold increased risk for HIV
    infection."48

    Anal Cancer: Homosexuals are at increased risk
    for this rare type of cancer, which is
    potentially fatal if the anal-rectal tumors
    metastasize to other bodily organs.


    Dr. Joel Palefsky, a leading expert in the field
    of anal cancer, reports that while the incidence
    of anal cancer in the United States is only
    0.9/100,000, that number soars to 35/100,000 for
    homosexuals. That rate doubles again for those
    who are HIV positive, which, according to Dr.
    Palefsky, is "roughly ten times higher than the
    current rate of cervical cancer."49


    At the Fourth International AIDS Malignancy
    Conference at the National Institutes of Health
    in May, 2000, Dr. Andrew Grulich announced that
    the incidence of anal cancer among homosexuals
    with HIV "was raised 37-fold compared with the
    general population."50

    Lesbians are at Risk through Sex with MSM


    Many Lesbians also have had sex with men. The
    homosexual newspaper The Washington Blade, citing
    a 1998 study in the Journal of Infectious
    Diseases, reported that "the study’s data
    confirmed previous scientific observations that
    most women who have sex with women also have had
    sex with men."51 The study added that "sex with
    men in the prior year was common, as were sexual
    practices between female partners that possibly
    could transmit HPV."52


    Lesbians have more male sex partners that their
    heterosexual counterparts. A study of sexually
    transmitted disease among lesbians reviewed in
    The Washington Blade notes: "Behavioral research
    also demonstrates that a woman’s sexual identity
    is not an accurate predictor of behavior, with a
    large proportion of ‘lesbian’ women reporting sex
    with (often high risk) men."53 The study found
    that "the median number of lifetime male sexual
    partners was significantly greater for WSW (women
    who have sex with women) than controls (twelve
    partners versus six). WSW were significantly more
    likely to report more than fifty lifetime male
    sexual partners."54


    A study in the American Journal of Public Health
    concurs that bisexual women are at increased risk
    for contracting sexually transmitted diseases:
    "Our findings corroborate the finding that WSMW
    (women who have sex with men and women) are more
    likely than WSMO (women who have sex with men
    only) to engage in various high-risk behaviors"
    and also "to engage in a greater number of risk-
    related behaviors."55 The study suggested that
    the willingness to engage in risky sexual
    practices "could be tied to a pattern of
    sensation-seeking behavior."56


    MSM spread HIV to women. A five-year study by the
    CDC of 3,492 homosexuals aged fifteen to twenty-
    two found that one in six also had sex with
    women. Of those having sex with women, one-
    quarter "said they recently had unprotected sex
    with both men and women." Nearly 7 percent of the
    men in the study were HIV positive."57 "The study
    confirms that young bisexual men are a ‘bridge’
    for HIV transmission to women," said the CDC.58

    "Exclusive" Lesbian Relationships Also at Risk.
    The assumption that lesbians involved in
    exclusive sexual relationships are at reduced
    risk for sexual disease is false. The journal
    Sexually Transmitted Infections concludes: "The
    risk behavior profile of exclusive WSW was
    similar to all WSW."59 One reason for this is
    because lesbians "were significantly more likely
    to report past sexual contact with a homosexual
    or bisexual man and sexual contact with an IDU
    (intravenous drug user)."60

    Cancer Risk Factors for Lesbians. Citing a 1999
    report released by the Institute of Medicine, an
    arm of the National Academy of Sciences, the
    homosexual newspaper The Washington Blade notes
    that "various studies on Lesbian health suggest
    that certain cancer risk factors occur with
    greater frequency in this population. These
    factors include higher rates of smoking, alcohol
    use, poor diet, and being overweight."61
    Elsewhere the Blade also reports: "Some experts
    believe Lesbians might be more likely than women
    in general to develop breast or cervical cancer
    because a disproportionate number of them fall
    into high-risk categories."62

    Sexually Transmitted Diseases Among Lesbians


    In a study of the medical records of 1,408
    lesbians, the journal Sexually Transmitted
    Infections found that women who have sexual
    relations with women are at significantly higher
    risk for certain sexually transmitted diseases:
    "We demonstrated a higher prevalence of BV
    (bacterial vaginosis), hepatitis C, and HIV risk
    behaviors in WSW as compared with controls."63

    Compulsive Behavior among Lesbians. A study
    published in Nursing Research found that lesbians
    are three times more likely to abuse alcohol and
    to suffer from other compulsive behaviors: "Like
    most problem drinkers, 32 (91 percent) of the
    participants had abused other drugs as well as
    alcohol, and many reported compulsive
    difficulties with food (34 percent), codependency
    (29 percent), sex (11 percent), and money (6
    percent)." In addition, "Forty-six percent had
    been heavy drinkers with frequent drunkenness."64

    Alcohol Abuse Among Homosexuals and Lesbians


    The Journal of Consulting and Clinical
    Psychologists reports that lesbian women consume
    alcohol more frequently, and in larger amounts,
    than heterosexual women.65 Lesbians were at
    significantly greater risk than heterosexual
    women for both binge drinking (19.4 percent
    compared to 11.7 percent), and for heavy drinking
    (7 percent compared to 2.7 percent).66


    Although the Journal of Consulting and Clinical
    Psychologists article found no significant
    connection between male homosexuals and alcohol
    abuse, a study in Family Planning Perspective
    concluded that male homosexuals were at greatly
    increased risk for alcoholism: "Among men, by far
    the most important risk group consisted of
    homosexual and bisexual men, who were more than
    nine times as likely as heterosexual men to have
    a history of problem drinking."67 The study noted
    that problem drinking may contribute to the
    "significantly higher STD rates among gay and
    bisexual men."68

    Violence in Lesbian and Homosexual Relationships.


    A study in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence
    examined conflict and violence in lesbian
    relationships. The researchers found that 90
    percent of the lesbians surveyed had been
    recipients of one or more acts of verbal
    aggression from their intimate partners during
    the year prior to this study, with 31 percent
    reporting one or more incidents of physical
    abuse.69


    In a survey of 1,099 lesbians, the Journal of
    Social Service Research found that "slightly more
    than half of the [lesbians] reported that they
    had been abused by a female lover/partner. The
    most frequently indicated forms of abuse were
    verbal/emotional/psychological abuse and combined
    physical-psychological abuse."70


    In their book Men Who Beat the Men Who Love Them:
    Battered Gay Men and Domestic Violence, D. Island
    and P. Letellier report that "the incidence of
    domestic violence among gay men is nearly double
    that in the heterosexual population."71

    Compare the Low Rate of Intimate Partner Violence
    within Marriage. Homosexual and lesbian
    relationships are far more violent than are
    traditional married households:


    The Bureau of Justice Statistics (U.S. Department
    of Justice) reports that married women in
    traditional families experience the lowest rate
    of violence compared with women in other types of
    relationships.72


    A report by the Medical Institute for Sexual
    Health concurred,

    It should be noted that most studies of family
    violence do not differentiate between married and
    unmarried partner status. Studies that do make
    these distinctions have found that marriage
    relationships tend to have the least intimate
    partner violence when compared to cohabiting or
    dating relationships.73

    High Incidence of Mental Health Problems among
    Homosexuals and Lesbians. A national survey of
    lesbians published in the Journal of Consulting
    and Clinical Psychology found that 75 percent of
    the nearly 2,000 respondents had pursued
    psychological counseling of some kind, many for
    treatment of long-term depression or sadness:

    Among the sample as a whole, there was a
    distressingly high prevalence of life events and
    behaviors related to mental health problems.
    Thirty-seven percent had been physically abused
    and 32 percent had been raped or sexually
    attacked. Nineteen percent had been involved in
    incestuous relationships while growing up. Almost
    one-third used tobacco on a daily basis and about
    30 percent drank alcohol more than once a week; 6
    percent drank daily. One in five smoked marijuana
    more than once a month. Twenty-one percent of the
    sample had thoughts about suicide sometimes or
    often and 18 percent had actually tried to kill
    themselves. . . . More than half had felt too
    nervous to accomplish ordinary activities at some
    time during the past year and over one-third had
    been depressed.74

    Greater Risk for Suicide.


    A study of twins that examined the relationship
    between homosexuality and suicide, published in
    the Archives of General Psychiatry, found that
    homosexuals with same-sex partners were at
    greater risk for overall mental health problems,
    and were 6.5 times more likely than their twins
    to have attempted suicide. The higher rate was
    not attributable to mental health or substance
    abuse disorders.75


    Another study published simultaneously in
    Archives of General Psychiatry followed 1,007
    individuals from birth. Those classified as
    "gay," lesbian, or bisexual were significantly
    more likely to have had mental health problems.76
    Significantly, in his comments on the studies in
    the same issue of the journal, D. Bailey
    cautioned against various speculative
    explanations of the results, such as the view
    that "widespread prejudice against homosexual
    people causes them to be unhappy or worse,
    mentally ill."77

    Reduced Life Span. A study published in the
    International Journal of Epidemiology on the
    mortality rates of homosexuals concluded that
    they have a significantly reduced life
    expectancy:

    In a major Canadian centre, life expectancy at
    age twenty for gay and bisexual men is eight to
    twenty years less than for all men. If the same
    pattern of mortality were to continue, we
    estimate that nearly half of gay and bisexual men
    currently aged twenty years will not reach their
    sixty-fifth birthday. Under even the most liberal
    assumptions, gay and bisexual men in this urban
    centre are now experiencing a life expectancy
    similar to that experienced by all men in Canada
    in the year 1871.78

    In 1995, long after the deadly effects of AIDS
    and other STDs became widely known, homosexual
    author Urvashi Vaid expressed one of the goals of
    her fellow activists: "We have an agenda to
    create a society in which homosexuality is
    regarded as healthy, natural, and normal. To me
    that is the most important agenda item."79
    Debilitating illness, chronic disease,
    psychological problems, and early death suffered
    by homosexuals is the legacy of this tragically
    misguided activism, which puts the furthering of
    an "agenda" above saving the lives of those whose
    interests they purport to represent.

    Those who advocate full acceptance of homosexual
    behavior choose to downplay the growing and
    incontrovertible evidence regarding the serious,
    life-threatening health effects associated with
    the homosexual lifestyle. Homosexual advocacy
    groups have a moral duty to disseminate medical
    information that might dissuade individuals from
    entering or continuing in an inherently unhea

    THE NEGATIVE HEALTH EFFECTS OF
    HOMOSEXUALITY

    --------------------------------------------------
    ------------------------------


    by
    Timothy J. Dailey

    Homosexual activists attempt to portray their
    lifestyle as normal and healthy, and insist that
    homosexual relationships are the equivalent in
    every way to their heterosexual counterparts.
    Hollywood and the media relentlessly propagate
    the image of the fit, healthy, and well-adjusted
    homosexual. The reality is quite opposite to this
    caricature which was recently conceded by the
    homosexual newspaper New York Blade News:

    Reports at a national conference about sexually
    transmitted diseases indicate that gay men are in
    the highest risk group for several of the most
    serious diseases. . . . Scientists believe that
    the increased number of sexually tranmitted
    diseases (STD) cases is the result of an increase
    in risky sexual practices by a growing number of
    gay men who believe hiv is no longer a life-
    threatening illness.1

    Instability and promiscuity typically
    characterize homosexual relationships. These two
    factors increase the incidence of serious and
    incurable STDs. In addition, some homosexual
    behaviors put practitioners at higher risk for a
    variety of ailments, as catalogued by the
    following research data:

    Risky Sexual Behavior on the Rise Among
    Homosexuals. Despite two decades of intensive
    efforts to educate homosexuals against the
    dangers of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
    (AIDS) and other STDs, the incidence of unsafe
    sexual practices that often result in various
    diseases is on the rise.


    According to the Centers for Disease Control and
    Prevention (CDC), from 1994 to 1997 the
    proportion of homosexuals reporting having had
    anal sex increased from 57.6 percent to 61.2
    percent, while the percentage of those reporting
    "always" using condoms declined from 69.6 percent
    to 60 percent.2


    The CDC reported that during the same period the
    proportion of men reporting having multiple sex
    partners and unprotected anal sex increased from
    23.6 percent to 33.3 percent. The largest
    increase in this category (from 22 percent to
    33.3 percent) was reported by homosexuals twenty-
    five years old or younger.3

    Homosexuals Failing to Disclose Their HIV Status
    to Sex Partners


    A study presented July 13, 2000 at the XIII
    International AIDS Conference in Durban, South
    Africa disclosed that a significant number of
    homosexual and bisexual men with HIV "continue to
    engage in unprotected sex with people who have no
    idea they could be contracting HIV."4 Researchers
    from the University of California, San Francisco
    found that thirty-six percent of homosexuals
    engaging in unprotected oral, anal, or vaginal
    sex failed to disclose that they were HIV
    positive to casual sex partners.5


    A CDC report revealed that, in 1997, 45 percent
    of homosexuals reporting having had unprotected
    anal intercourse during the previous six months
    did not know the HIV serostatus of all their sex
    partners. Even more alarming, among those who
    reported having had unprotected anal intercourse
    and multiple partners, 68 percent did not know
    the HIV serostatus of their partners.6

    Young Homosexuals are at Increased Risk.
    Following in the footsteps of the generation of
    homosexuals decimated by AIDS, younger
    homosexuals are engaging in dangerous sexual
    practices at an alarming rate.


    A Johns Hopkins University School of Public
    Health study of three-hundred-sixty-one young men
    who have sex with men (MSM) aged fifteen to
    twenty-two found that around 40 percent of
    participants reported having had anal-insertive
    sex, and around 30 percent said they had had anal-
    receptive sex. Thirty-seven percent said they had
    not used a condom for anal sex during their last
    same-sex encounter. Twenty-one percent of the
    respondents reported using drugs or alcohol
    during their last same-sex encounter.7


    A five-year CDC study of 3,492 homosexual males
    aged fifteen to twenty-two found that one-quarter
    had unprotected sex with both men and women.
    Another CDC study of 1,942 homosexual and
    bisexual men with HIV found that 19 percent had
    at least one episode of unprotected anal sex—the
    riskiest sexual behavior—in 1998 and 1997, a 50
    percent increase from the previous two years.8

    Homosexual Promiscuity. Studies indicate that the
    average male homosexual has hundreds of sex
    partners in his lifetime:


    A.P. Bell and M.S. Weinberg, in their classic
    study of male and female homosexuality, found
    that 43 percent of white male homosexuals had sex
    with 500 or more partners, with 28 percent having
    1,000 or more sex partners.9


    In their study of the sexual profiles of 2,583
    older homosexuals published in Journal of Sex
    Research, Paul Van de Ven et al., found that only
    2.7 percent claimed to have had sex with one
    partner only. The most common response, given by
    21.6 percent of the respondents, was of having a
    hundred-one to five hundred lifetime sex
    partners.10


    A survey conducted by the homosexual magazine
    Genre found that 24 percent of the respondents
    said they had had more than a hundred sexual
    partners in their lifetime. The magazine noted
    that several respondents suggested including a
    category of those who had more than a thousand
    sexual partners.11


    In his study of male homosexuality in Western
    Sexuality: Practice and Precept in Past and
    Present Times, M. Pollak found that "few
    homosexual relationships last longer than two
    years, with many men reporting hundreds of
    lifetime partners."12

    Promiscuity among Homosexual Couples. Even in
    those homosexual relationships in which the
    partners consider themselves to be in a committed
    relationship, the meaning of "committed"
    typically means something radically different
    from marriage.


    In The Male Couple, authors David P. McWhirter
    and Andrew M. Mattison reported that in a study
    of a hundred-fifty-six males in homosexual
    relationships lasting from one to thirty-seven
    years,

    Only seven couples have a totally exclusive
    sexual relationship, and these men all have been
    together for less than five years. Stated another
    way, all couples with a relationship lasting more
    than five years have incorporated some provision
    for outside sexual activity in their
    relationships.13


    In Male and Female Homosexuality, M. Saghir and
    E. Robins found that the average male homosexual
    live-in relationship lasts between two and three
    years.14

    Unhealthy Aspects of "Monogamous" Homosexual
    Relationships. Even those homosexual
    relationships that are loosely termed
    "monogamous" do not necessarily result in
    healthier behavior.


    The journal AIDS reported that men involved in
    relationships engaged in anal intercourse and
    oral-anal intercourse with greater frequency than
    those without a steady partner.15 Anal
    intercourse has been linked to a host of
    bacterial and parasitical sexually transmitted
    diseases, including AIDS.


    The exclusivity of the relationship did not
    diminish the incidence of unhealthy sexual acts,
    which are commonplace among homosexuals. An
    English study published in the same issue of the
    journal AIDS concurred, finding that most
    "unsafe" sex acts among homosexuals occur in
    steady relationships.16

    Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a collection
    of more than seventy types of viruses that can
    cause warts, or papillomas, on various parts of
    the body. More than twenty types of HPV are
    incurable STDs that can infect the genital tract
    of both men and women. Most HPV infections are
    subclinical or asymptomatic, with only one in a
    hundred people experiencing genital warts.


    HPV is "almost universal" among homosexuals.
    According to the homosexual newspaper The
    Washington Blade: "A San Francisco study of Gay
    and bisexual men revealed that HPV infection was
    almost universal among HIV-positive men, and that
    60 percent of HIV-negative men carried HPV."17


    HPV can lead to anal cancer. At the recent Fourth
    International AIDS Malignancy Conference at the
    National Institutes of Health, Dr. Andrew Grulich
    announced that "most instances of anal cancer are
    caused by a cancer-causing strain of HPV through
    receptive anal intercourse. HPV infects over 90
    percent of HIV-positive gay men and 65 percent of
    HIV-negative gay men, according to a number of
    recent studies."18


    The link between HPV and cervical cancer. Citing
    a presentation by Dr. Stephen Goldstone to the
    International Congress on Papillomavirus in Human
    Pathology in Paris, The Washington Blade reports
    that "HPV is believed to cause cervical cancer in
    women."19

    Hepatitis: A potentially fatal liver disease that
    increases the risk of liver cancer.


    Hepatitis A: The Mortality and Morbidity Weekly
    Report published by the CDC reports: "Outbreaks
    of hepatitis A among men who have sex with men
    are a recurring problem in many large cities in
    the industrialized world."20


    Hepatitis B: This is a serious disease caused by
    a virus that attacks the liver. The virus, which
    is called hepatitis B virus (HBV), can cause
    lifelong infection, cirrhosis (scarring) of the
    liver, liver cancer, liver failure, and death.
    Each year in the United States, more than 200,000
    people of all ages contract hepatitis B and close
    to 5,000 die of sickness caused by AIDS. The CDC
    reports that MSM are at increased risk for
    hepatitis B.21


    Hepatitis C is an inflammation of the liver that
    can cause cirrhosis, liver failure and liver
    cancer. The virus can lie dormant in the body for
    up to thirty years before flaring up. Although
    less so than with hepatitis A and B, MSM who
    engage in unsafe sexual practices remain at
    increased risk for contracting hepatitis C.22

    Gonorrhea: An inflammatory disease of the genital
    tract. Gonorrhea traditionally occurs on the
    genitals, but has recently appeared in the rectal
    region and in the throat. Although easily treated
    by antibiotics, according to the CDC only "about
    50 percent of men have some signs or symptoms,
    and "many women who are infected have no symptoms
    of infection."23 Untreated gonorrhea can have
    serious and permanent health consequences,
    including infertility damage to the prostate and
    urethra.


    A CDC report documents "significant increases
    during 1994 to 1997 in rectal gonorrhea . . .
    among MSM," indicating that "safe sex" practices
    may not be taken as seriously as the AIDS
    epidemic begins to slow.24 In 1999 the CDC
    released data showing that male rectal gonorrhea
    is increasing among homosexuals amidst an overall
    decline in national gonorrhea rates. The report
    attributed the increase to a larger percentage of
    homosexuals engaging in unsafe sexual behavior.25


    The incidence of throat Gonorrhea is strongly
    associated with homosexual behavior. The Canadian
    Medical Association Journal found that "gonorrhea
    was associated with urethral discharge . . . and
    homosexuality (3.7 times higher than the rate
    among heterosexuals)."26 Similarly, a study in
    the Journal of Clinical Pathology found that
    homosexual men had a much higher prevalence of
    pharyngeal (throat) gonorrhea—15.2 percent
    compared with 4.1 percent for heterosexual men.27

    Syphilis: A venereal disease that, if left
    untreated, can spread throughout the body over
    time, causing serious heart abnormalities, mental
    disorders, blindness, and death. The initial
    symptoms of syphilis are often mild and painless,
    leading some individuals to avoid seeking
    treatment. According to the National Institutes
    of Health, the disease may be mistaken for other
    common illnesses: "syphilis has sometimes been
    called ‘the great imitator’ because its early
    symptoms are similar to those of many other
    diseases." Early symptoms include rashes, moist
    warts in the groin area, slimy white patches in
    the mouth, or pus-filled bumps resembling chicken
    pox.28


    According to the CDC, "transmission of the
    organism occurs during vaginal, anal, or oral
    sex."29 In addition, the Archives of Internal
    Medicine found that homosexuals acquired syphilis
    at a rate ten times that of heterosexuals.30


    The CDC reports that those who contract syphilis
    face potentially deadly health consequences: "It
    is now known that the genital sores caused by
    syphilis in adults also make it easier to
    transmit and acquire HIV infection sexually.
    There is a two to five fold increased risk of
    acquiring HIV infection when syphilis is
    present."31

    Gay Bowel Syndrome (GBS):32 The Journal of the
    American Medical Association refers to GBS
    problems such as proctitis, proctocolitis, and
    enteritis as "sexually transmitted
    gastrointestinal syndromes."33 Many of the
    bacterial and protozoa pathogens that cause GBS
    are found in feces and transmitted to the
    digestive system: According to the pro-homosexual
    text Anal Pleasure and Health, "[s]exual
    activities provide many opportunities for tiny
    amounts of contaminated feces to find their way
    into the mouth of a sexual partner . . . The most
    direct route is oral-anal contact."34


    Proctitis and Proctocolitis are inflammations of
    the rectum and colon that cause pain, bloody
    rectal discharge and rectal spasms. Proctitis is
    associated with STDs such as gonorrhea,
    chlamydia, herpes, and syphilis that are
    widespread among homosexuals.35 The Sexually
    Transmitted Disease Information Center of the
    Journal of the American Medical Association
    reports that "[p]roctitis occurs predominantly
    among persons who participate in anal
    intercourse."


    Enteritis is inflammation of the small intestine.
    According to the Sexually Transmitted Disease
    Information Center of the Journal of the American
    Medical Association, "enteritis occurs among
    those whose sexual practices include oral-fecal
    contact."36 Enteritis can cause abdominal pain,
    severe cramping, intense diarrhea, fever,
    malabsorption of nutrients, weight loss.37
    According to a report in The Health Implications
    of Homosexuality by the Medical Institute for
    Sexual Health, some pathogens associated with
    enteritis and proctocolitis [see below] "appear
    only to be sexually transmitted among men who
    have sex with men."38

    HIV/AIDS Among Homosexuals. The human
    immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is responsible for
    causing AIDS, for which there exists no cure.


    Homosexual men are the largest risk category. The
    CDC reports that homosexuals comprise the single
    largest exposure category of the more than
    600,000 males with AIDS in the United States. As
    of December 1999, "men who have sex with men" and
    "men who have sex with men and inject drugs"
    together accounted for 64 percent of the
    cumulative total of male AIDS cases.39


    Women risk contracting HIV/AIDS through sexual
    relations with infected MSM. According to the
    CDC, "HIV infection among U.S. women has
    increased significantly over the last decade,
    especially in communities of color. CDC estimates
    that, in the United States, between 120,000 and
    160,000 adult and adolescent females are living
    with HIV infection, including those with AIDS."
    In 1999, for example, most of the women (40
    percent) reported with AIDS were infected through
    heterosexual exposure to HIV.40 That number is
    actually higher, as "historically, more than two-
    thirds of AIDS cases among women initially
    reported without identified risk were later
    reclassified as heterosexual transmission."41


    Homosexuals with HIV are at increased risk for
    developing other life-threatening diseases. A
    paper delivered at the Fourth International AIDS
    Malignancy Conference at the National Institutes
    of Health reported that homosexual men with HIV
    have "a 37-fold increase in anal cancer, a 4-fold
    increase in Hodgkin’s disease (cancer of the
    lymph nodes), a 2.7-fold increase in cancer of
    the testicles, and a 2.5 fold increase in lip
    cancer."42

    HIV/AIDS Among Young People


    AIDS incidence is on the rise among teens and
    young adults. The CDC reports that, "even though
    AIDS incidence (the number of new cases diagnosed
    during a given time period, usually a year) is
    declining, there has not been a comparable
    decline in the number of newly diagnosed HIV
    cases among youth.43


    Young homosexual men are at particular risk. The
    CDC estimates that "at least half of all new HIV
    infections in the United States are among people
    under twenty-five, and the majority of young
    people are infected sexually."44 By the end of
    1999, 29,629 young people aged thirteen to twenty-
    four were diagnosed with AIDS in the United
    States. MSM were the single largest risk
    category: in 1999, for example, 50 percent of all
    new AIDS cases were reported among young
    homosexuals.45


    Sexually active young women are also at risk. The
    CDC reports: "In 1999, among young women the same
    age, 47 percent of all AIDS cases reported were
    acquired heterosexually and 11 percent were
    acquired through injection drug use."

    Homosexuals with STDs Are at an Increased Risk
    for HIV Infection. Studies of MSM treated in STD
    clinics show rates of infection as high as 36
    percent in major cities.46 A CDC study attributed
    the high infection rate to having high numbers of
    anonymous sex partners: "[S]yphilis, gonorrhea,
    and chlamydia apparently have been introduced
    into a population of MSM who have large numbers
    of anonymous partners, which can result in rapid
    and extensive transmission of STDs."47 The CDC
    report concluded: "Persons with STDs, including
    genital ulcer disease and nonulcerative STD, have
    a twofold to fivefold increased risk for HIV
    infection."48

    Anal Cancer: Homosexuals are at increased risk
    for this rare type of cancer, which is
    potentially fatal if the anal-rectal tumors
    metastasize to other bodily organs.


    Dr. Joel Palefsky, a leading expert in the field
    of anal cancer, reports that while the incidence
    of anal cancer in the United States is only
    0.9/100,000, that number soars to 35/100,000 for
    homosexuals. That rate doubles again for those
    who are HIV positive, which, according to Dr.
    Palefsky, is "roughly ten times higher than the
    current rate of cervical cancer."49


    At the Fourth International AIDS Malignancy
    Conference at the National Institutes of Health
    in May, 2000, Dr. Andrew Grulich announced that
    the incidence of anal cancer among homosexuals
    with HIV "was raised 37-fold compared with the
    general population."50

    Lesbians are at Risk through Sex with MSM


    Many Lesbians also have had sex with men. The
    homosexual newspaper The Washington Blade, citing
    a 1998 study in the Journal of Infectious
    Diseases, reported that "the study’s data
    confirmed previous scientific observations that
    most women who have sex with women also have had
    sex with men."51 The study added that "sex with
    men in the prior year was common, as were sexual
    practices between female partners that possibly
    could transmit HPV."52


    Lesbians have more male sex partners that their
    heterosexual counterparts. A study of sexually
    transmitted disease among lesbians reviewed in
    The Washington Blade notes: "Behavioral research
    also demonstrates that a woman’s sexual identity
    is not an accurate predictor of behavior, with a
    large proportion of ‘lesbian’ women reporting sex
    with (often high risk) men."53 The study found
    that "the median number of lifetime male sexual
    partners was significantly greater for WSW (women
    who have sex with women) than controls (twelve
    partners versus six). WSW were significantly more
    likely to report more than fifty lifetime male
    sexual partners."54


    A study in the American Journal of Public Health
    concurs that bisexual women are at increased risk
    for contracting sexually transmitted diseases:
    "Our findings corroborate the finding that WSMW
    (women who have sex with men and women) are more
    likely than WSMO (women who have sex with men
    only) to engage in various high-risk behaviors"
    and also "to engage in a greater number of risk-
    related behaviors."55 The study suggested that
    the willingness to engage in risky sexual
    practices "could be tied to a pattern of
    sensation-seeking behavior."56


    MSM spread HIV to women. A five-year study by the
    CDC of 3,492 homosexuals aged fifteen to twenty-
    two found that one in six also had sex with
    women. Of those having sex with women, one-
    quarter "said they recently had unprotected sex
    with both men and women." Nearly 7 percent of the
    men in the study were HIV positive."57 "The study
    confirms that young bisexual men are a ‘bridge’
    for HIV transmission to women," said the CDC.58

    "Exclusive" Lesbian Relationships Also at Risk.
    The assumption that lesbians involved in
    exclusive sexual relationships are at reduced
    risk for sexual disease is false. The journal
    Sexually Transmitted Infections concludes: "The
    risk behavior profile of exclusive WSW was
    similar to all WSW."59 One reason for this is
    because lesbians "were significantly more likely
    to report past sexual contact with a homosexual
    or bisexual man and sexual contact with an IDU
    (intravenous drug user)."60

    Cancer Risk Factors for Lesbians. Citing a 1999
    report released by the Institute of Medicine, an
    arm of the National Academy of Sciences, the
    homosexual newspaper The Washington Blade notes
    that "various studies on Lesbian health suggest
    that certain cancer risk factors occur with
    greater frequency in this population. These
    factors include higher rates of smoking, alcohol
    use, poor diet, and being overweight."61
    Elsewhere the Blade also reports: "Some experts
    believe Lesbians might be more likely than women
    in general to develop breast or cervical cancer
    because a disproportionate number of them fall
    into high-risk categories."62

    Sexually Transmitted Diseases Among Lesbians


    In a study of the medical records of 1,408
    lesbians, the journal Sexually Transmitted
    Infections found that women who have sexual
    relations with women are at significantly higher
    risk for certain sexually transmitted diseases:
    "We demonstrated a higher prevalence of BV
    (bacterial vaginosis), hepatitis C, and HIV risk
    behaviors in WSW as compared with controls."63

    Compulsive Behavior among Lesbians. A study
    published in Nursing Research found that lesbians
    are three times more likely to abuse alcohol and
    to suffer from other compulsive behaviors: "Like
    most problem drinkers, 32 (91 percent) of the
    participants had abused other drugs as well as
    alcohol, and many reported compulsive
    difficulties with food (34 percent), codependency
    (29 percent), sex (11 percent), and money (6
    percent)." In addition, "Forty-six percent had
    been heavy drinkers with frequent drunkenness."64

    Alcohol Abuse Among Homosexuals and Lesbians


    The Journal of Consulting and Clinical
    Psychologists reports that lesbian women consume
    alcohol more frequently, and in larger amounts,
    than heterosexual women.65 Lesbians were at
    significantly greater risk than heterosexual
    women for both binge drinking (19.4 percent
    compared to 11.7 percent), and for heavy drinking
    (7 percent compared to 2.7 percent).66


    Although the Journal of Consulting and Clinical
    Psychologists article found no significant
    connection between male homosexuals and alcohol
    abuse, a study in Family Planning Perspective
    concluded that male homosexuals were at greatly
    increased risk for alcoholism: "Among men, by far
    the most important risk group consisted of
    homosexual and bisexual men, who were more than
    nine times as likely as heterosexual men to have
    a history of problem drinking."67 The study noted
    that problem drinking may contribute to the
    "significantly higher STD rates among gay and
    bisexual men."68

    Violence in Lesbian and Homosexual Relationships.


    A study in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence
    examined conflict and violence in lesbian
    relationships. The researchers found that 90
    percent of the lesbians surveyed had been
    recipients of one or more acts of verbal
    aggression from their intimate partners during
    the year prior to this study, with 31 percent
    reporting one or more incidents of physical
    abuse.69


    In a survey of 1,099 lesbians, the Journal of
    Social Service Research found that "slightly more
    than half of the [lesbians] reported that they
    had been abused by a female lover/partner. The
    most frequently indicated forms of abuse were
    verbal/emotional/psychological abuse and combined
    physical-psychological abuse."70


    In their book Men Who Beat the Men Who Love Them:
    Battered Gay Men and Domestic Violence, D. Island
    and P. Letellier report that "the incidence of
    domestic violence among gay men is nearly double
    that in the heterosexual population."71

    Compare the Low Rate of Intimate Partner Violence
    within Marriage. Homosexual and lesbian
    relationships are far more violent than are
    traditional married households:


    The Bureau of Justice Statistics (U.S. Department
    of Justice) reports that married women in
    traditional families experience the lowest rate
    of violence compared with women in other types of
    relationships.72


    A report by the Medical Institute for Sexual
    Health concurred,

    It should be noted that most studies of family
    violence do not differentiate between married and
    unmarried partner status. Studies that do make
    these distinctions have found that marriage
    relationships tend to have the least intimate
    partner violence when compared to cohabiting or
    dating relationships.73

    High Incidence of Mental Health Problems among
    Homosexuals and Lesbians. A national survey of
    lesbians published in the Journal of Consulting
    and Clinical Psychology found that 75 percent of
    the nearly 2,000 respondents had pursued
    psychological counseling of some kind, many for
    treatment of long-term depression or sadness:

    Among the sample as a whole, there was a
    distressingly high prevalence of life events and
    behaviors related to mental health problems.
    Thirty-seven percent had been physically abused
    and 32 percent had been raped or sexually
    attacked. Nineteen percent had been involved in
    incestuous relationships while growing up. Almost
    one-third used tobacco on a daily basis and about
    30 percent drank alcohol more than once a week; 6
    percent drank daily. One in five smoked marijuana
    more than once a month. Twenty-one percent of the
    sample had thoughts about suicide sometimes or
    often and 18 percent had actually tried to kill
    themselves. . . . More than half had felt too
    nervous to accomplish ordinary activities at some
    time during the past year and over one-third had
    been depressed.74

    Greater Risk for Suicide.


    A study of twins that examined the relationship
    between homosexuality and suicide, published in
    the Archives of General Psychiatry, found that
    homosexuals with same-sex partners were at
    greater risk for overall mental health problems,
    and were 6.5 times more likely than their twins
    to have attempted suicide. The higher rate was
    not attributable to mental health or substance
    abuse disorders.75


    Another study published simultaneously in
    Archives of General Psychiatry followed 1,007
    individuals from birth. Those classified as
    "gay," lesbian, or bisexual were significantly
    more likely to have had mental health problems.76
    Significantly, in his comments on the studies in
    the same issue of the journal, D. Bailey
    cautioned against various speculative
    explanations of the results, such as the view
    that "widespread prejudice against homosexual
    people causes them to be unhappy or worse,
    mentally ill."77

    Reduced Life Span. A study published in the
    International Journal of Epidemiology on the
    mortality rates of homosexuals concluded that
    they have a significantly reduced life
    expectancy:

    In a major Canadian centre, life expectancy at
    age twenty for gay and bisexual men is eight to
    twenty years less than for all men. If the same
    pattern of mortality were to continue, we
    estimate that nearly half of gay and bisexual men
    currently aged twenty years will not reach their
    sixty-fifth birthday. Under even the most liberal
    assumptions, gay and bisexual men in this urban
    centre are now experiencing a life expectancy
    similar to that experienced by all men in Canada
    in the year 1871.78

    In 1995, long after the deadly effects of AIDS
    and other STDs became widely known, homosexual
    author Urvashi Vaid expressed one of the goals of
    her fellow activists: "We have an agenda to
    create a society in which homosexuality is
    regarded as healthy, natural, and normal. To me
    that is the most important agenda item."79
    Debilitating illness, chronic disease,
    psychological problems, and early death suffered
    by homosexuals is the legacy of this tragically
    misguided activism, which puts the furthering of
    an "agenda" above saving the lives of those whose
    interests they purport to represent.

    Those who advocate full acceptance of homosexual
    behavior choose to downplay the growing and
    incontrovertible evidence regarding the serious,
    life-threatening health effects associated with
    the homosexual lifestyle. Homosexual advocacy
    groups have a moral duty to disseminate medical
    information that might dissuade individuals from
    entering or continuing in an inherently unhea

    Kunnollinen seksielämä näyttää vaativan suurta
    lahjakkuutta tässä naisten henkisen hömpötyksen
    kyllästämässä ajassa.
    Raamatun mukaan ruumillinen ei ole halveksittavaa

    Sitä paitsi yhtä hyvin kuin väitetään että seksi
    on korvien välissä ja henkistä, voi väittää, että
    sukupuolielimet ovat henkisiä, sillä eiväthän ne
    sinänsä mitään takaa vaan se miten niitä käyttää
    ja mitä mielikuvia niistä on, miten henkisyys
    niihin yhdistyy.

    Muuten ensimmäinen järkevä homovastainen
    kommentti, onnittelen. Ehkä olet nainen, Sane? ,
    se selittää osan kyvystä ilmaista ajatukset.

    Muuten heteroseksin ja siitä puhumisenkin tulisi
    olla aika salaista. Se lisää nautintoa! Seksistä
