“erroneous” finding.

I think in the real world, those are called lies.

One down. Thousands more to go.

The Columbia School of Public Health has been a left wing, professional joke for the past forty years. It is a maoist collective.

[Vigilanteman]

Didn't some famous NBA player (Wilt the Stilt, as I recall) brag about boinking some 20,000 women during his career? This is off the charts by the most randy standards of heterosexual behavior.

However, I've heard that it may only be ten times as high as typical homo behavior, IOW, 2000 or so partners over a lifetime is not at all unusual.

[OrangeHoof]

Of course, they associate the lower lifespan to prejudice and not the destructive practices they often subject to their bodies.

Take, for example, this 40-something anchorman in Los Angeles who seemed to have a wife and family yet died because he and his gay acquaintance chose to have anal sex while crack cocaine was shoved up his rectum.

So, was that *prejudice* that killed him or homosexual practices? I’d argue the latter.

[NorseViking]

It is a fact that homosexuals are involved in a number of activities incompatible with long lives. They are mostly self-destructive individuals. Also anyone involved in law enforcement would say that when it comes to homicide the number of homosexuals among both perps and victims are enormously high comparing to their percentage of total population.

[OrangeHoof]

How did they determine the area had a “high prejudice” rate?

Probably by counting the number of evangelical churches...

[Boogieman]

Easy. If the county didn’t vote for Obama, then it obviously was full of bigots and homophobes.

dying in their 40’s on average

That is actually close to the avg. death age of gays. It has been there for a long time because I have been reading that stat for a long time. AIDs certainly hasn't helped the situation; but, they were dying at younger ages than heterosexual people for a long time.

Gay men lead a very risky life style. Anonymous sex in public bathrooms or other public places is a thing for them. They get other "sex" diseases, not just AIDs, and they get those diseases multiple times over and over again. It strains their immune system.

That type of life style is going to have risks and will reduce your longevity. Their lifestyle is what kills them so early, AIDs is just part of it; but, their entire lifestyle is at fault. Whether or not they live in a "gay" friendly area or an anti-gay area is not a factor. How they live their lives is the main factor.

I've posted this before, but in case you FReepers haven't read the Regnerus Study or others on "gay family structures", you can find a couple eye-openers here:

RE: boinking some 20,000 women during his career

Chamberlain’s playing career spanned 14 years (1959 to 1973 according to Wikipedia ). 20,000 women divided by 14 years = 1428 women per year or 4 women a day.

Does anyone REALLY BELIEVE this?

[Maranatha7757]

Shorter life span has nothing to do with prejudice. It has everything to do with lifestyle.
Insurance companies have known this for years.

[17th Miss Regt]

In December, a systematic review and analysis of 2.5 million adolescents published in JAMA Pediatrics found that youths” who identify as homosexual, bisexual and transgender “have a significantly higher risk of life-threatening behavior compared with their heterosexual peers.”

Now that I will believe.
