Aug. 5, 2016 (LifeSiteNews.com) Homosexuals who marry each other are almost three times more likely to commit suicide than their heterosexual counterparts, even in very gay-friendly Sweden, according to a study published in the May issue of the European Journal of Epidemiology.
The authors of the study noted that social intolerance of homosexual behavior could not so easily be blamed for increased suicide risk, given that Sweden is known for its accepting attitude towards same-sex relationships.
Even in a country with a comparatively tolerant climate regarding homosexuality such as Sweden, same-sex married individuals evidence a higher risk for suicide than other married individuals, the authors note.
The study, Suicide in married couples in Sweden: Is the risk greater in same-sex couples? used the government of Swedens detailed databases to compare a population of over six thousand homosexual married couples to the larger population of heterosexual couples who married during the period between 1996 and 2009, following them until 2011.
The study found that participants in homosexual marriages had an overall 2.7 times greater chance of suicide than participants in heterosexual marriages, with the true value having a 95% probability of falling somewhere between 1.5 and 4.8.
Homosexual men in same-sex marriages were found to have a higher elevated risk (2.9) than women (2.5).
The studys results are similar to numerous other studies in recent years that have found a strong relationship between homosexual behavior and a variety of negative psychological outcomes, even in countries that are very accepting of homosexual behavior.
Studies done of homosexuals in the Netherlands, which is the country most accepting of homosexual behavior in the world, have found that homosexuals suffer from significantly higher rates of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance abuse disorders, suicide attempts, eating disorders, and panic attacks.
The behavior of homosexuals, which often involves high levels of promiscuity and instability in their interpersonal relationships, results in rates of 10-20% HIV infection of homosexuals living in urban areas, as well as elevated incidence of herpes and the cancer-causing Epstein-Barr virus, syphilis, anal cancer, and other diseases.
that’s the reason why they adopt AND MOLEST/RAPE kids because fags are truly mentally sick.
Exactly so. I’m quite sure that I’d kill myself if I were gay. Ewwwww! What disgusting and loathsome thought.
Poor dumb, confused and pitiful queers.
Finally...Some good news...
Sure, urban, neurotic, artistic, needy, demanding. People with that profile are always more likely to commit suicide.
homosexuals:
1. more prone to suicide...
2.more prone to depression...
3.more prone to major health problems and early death..
4.more prone to be violent in "relationships"
5. more prone to overuse both legal and illegal drugs as well as to overuse alcohol.
the authorities are correct...being homosexual is just another valid life choice and seeing all the "advantages" the we should promote it ....NOT!
I think behind a lot of “new” lesbians is their inability to find a male partner that satisfies their emotional needs......they develop an attitude that they don’t “need a man” and off they go....I think that’s what is behind many of them...at least in my niece’s situation...
could be teh Hillarhy Death squard is taking them out. She has been active lately helping the sucide index spike.
Thought her beauty would cleanse our souls...LOL
You have just explained what the American people disbelieve.
Even they know that it isn’t really marriage, so the pretending must eventually take its toll.
This is in addition to them offing each other, usually violently.
Eye-wash. Got it ;-)
Well GOOD; do they need me to donate the ammunition?

If the firs thing that comes into your mind is, "Oh, I'd like to fix her hair!" ...I won't finish the sentence.
So, they commit suicide instead? I have often wondered if "gays" don't divorce; but, just keep marrying. That way, they save money; and, it's not like they have any respect for the actual insitution of marriage. I believe "gay" marriage to just be a mockery of marriage. "Gays" do love to mock.
Well at least they take that ''til death do us part' thing seriously.
Not the least bit surprising.
You're right, too. Today, it's all about ME! and MY! immediate gratification. They don't give young men time to mature enough to want a long term relationship so they're off to find something else. The "new" lesbians are too flighty, just like young men but they can't see it. Plus, it's trendy and they crave the aTtEnTiOn!!! Also, being gay, they (both XX and XY) can get by with saying and doing anything they wish and no one dares oppose them out of fear of not being PC. Gays have it all going for them so why not jump on that bandwagon. It's all fun and games now but give them 10 years and many will wake up to find themselves in an endless nightmare. No family, no real marriage partner and nowhere to call home or go crawling back to. As someone up thread said, no one wants an old gay man. By the same token, the pickin's for lesbians in their 30's get thinner.
Deeply unhappy, troubled people get what they want and think will make them happy, and the deep inside unhappiness and trouble remains.....
