Hm. The piece titled "Homosexual Rights Are Concern for Some" is cited here:

http://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/a02rStatistcs.html

...and was covered in this FR thread in 2005:

Some of those statistics are laughable, which means that none of them can be trusted. Each claim must be individually checked. "50% of suicides can be attributed to homosexuals." "Homosexuals account for half the murders in large cities." "95% of homosexuals are alien invaders from the planet Qxthhhrg." OK, I added the last, but if you believe the first two, you'll believe anything.

If I was pro-gay marriage, that is exactly the sort of document that I would want to attribute to the opposition.

Homosexuality and Mental Health Problems

One important and carefully conducted study found suicide attempts among homosexuals were six times greater than the average (Remafedi et al. 1998).

Precisely. They're smart. They know how to manipulate their friends in the news media, who really don't need to be manipulated very much because they're so eager to help.

Those of us who support traditional marriage need to get a lot smarter about this, and we need to do it fast. We need to focus on the negative health effects of the gay lifestyle. Being gay and being sexually active, being immersed in the gay lifestyle, is like being addicted to crystal meth. It really is that self-destructive.

And we can't just say, "Let them do their own thing. It doesn't affect us." Because of Obamacare, we are forced to subsidize their outrageously expensive drug addictions, diseases and emotional problems. Furthermore, law is a teacher. When we legalize something, we are teaching the young and unsophisticated that it's safe to experiment with this behavior. It isn't safe, and it will never be safe.
