Lesbian and bisexual women are dying much younger than their straight peers, according to a new study.

During the survey, recently published in JAMA, Harvard researchers pulled from a previous study of women who worked as nurses and were born between 1945 and 1964, 90,833 of whom had disclosed their sexuality. Of those, 89,821 (98.9 percent) identified as heterosexual, 694 (0.8 percent) identified as lesbian, and 318 (0.4 percent) identified as bisexual.

When compared with heterosexual participants, LGB participants showed earlier mortality. Bisexual women had the shortest life expectancy, dying 37 percent sooner than heterosexual women. Lesbian women died 20 percent sooner, with LGB women overall dying 26 percent sooner than straight women.

These leftist-sponsored “studies” are always such jokes. No statistical power at all.

Alcohol, tobacco and controlled substances are cited in the article.

All of which often eventuate in suicide.

None of that is true...

because...

just like with people in poor countries who are more direly affected by climate change...

lesbian and bisexual women are affected the same way...

so, again...

it’s climate change.

Alternately...

it’s Trump’ fault...

or the repeal of the right to abortions by republicans...

and it’s also due to racism and misogyny.

In other words, it's never their fault. It's always everybody else's fault for not applauding their gayness.

This is the essence of Leftist (Progressive/Cultural Marxist) philosophy: It is never a person who is responsible for their own actions. It is always someone else's fault.

The reason has been known and explained for 3000 years. “The wages of sin are death.”

Drugs, alcohol, violence (from partners), disease, cancer, depression/mental illness, suicide - LGBTQ suffer from these in MUCH greater percentages than straight/normal people

This has been known forever, and will not change.

Daughter, later 20s and perfectly normal sexuality, is getting married soon. Her maid of honor is her best friend, who is a life-long lesbian. A little on the thicc side, but quite stunning, and she makes every effort in clothes, makeup, hair, and the rest to look and act completely feminine. She also has some of the common feminine psychological traits, such as always comparing her looks to others, or getting emotional about small things, or occasional doses of passive-agression. I’ve known my share of lesbian academics, and they are all as the rest of you have described, but not this woman.

“What stress?”

There may be an explanation lurking in an old (sexist?) joke that goes:
“Q: Why do married men die before their wives?
A: Because they can.”

I attribute it to lack of Vitamin D. :^)

Everyone has a secret life at odds with the public one. I’m betting that your daughter’s maid of honor has some pretty horrific private skeletons.

Yep, it’s heterosexuals’ fault that they are stressed.

It's hilarious how the higher shorter life rates for "bisexual" women is depicted. Can they tie themselves into a more convoluted logical pretzel?

Researchers expressed concern at the gap between bisexual women and their peers, noting that because bisexuality is "more concealable than lesbian orientation because many bisexual women have male partners, stressors related to disclosure or staying closeted may be more salient for bisexual women, who are less likely than lesbian women to disclose their identities to their social networks."

Tell me, how does a "bisexual" woman who chooses a male partner express her "bisexuality?" Must she express it? Is it a point of "stress" that she feels she can't?

These people are fruit loops.
