DISCRIMINATION against gay men, lesbians and bisexuals could be responsible for high levels of mental illness and self-harm, research suggested today.
A study found that attacks and bullying could be linked to the widespread mental disorder that homosexuals appear to suffer.
I know a guy who dropped out of HArvard for a year and tried to commit suicide several times.
After his therapy visits, he suddenly realized that he was 'gay'.
I wish I could remember the name of that new super VD that has hit the EU homos.
roger that .
Alcoholism. I never thought of that!
Right!

"99.9% mortality by age 60."
LOL! I first read mortality as morality. I guess that would apply to, come to think about it-there is very little hanky panky in the grave.
Could be? Uh, yeah, and it could be linked to Pudding Pops, but it isn't. Homosexuality is a symptom of the mental disorder.
This whole thread is just gay.
Sexual or physical abuse can't be the cause of every gay person that ever existed, I'm not buying it. Does it really destroy anyone's view of the universe to acknowledge that some gays could be born that way?
Umm I'm a straight man and I've had more than 15 lovers and I think many(/most?) people in their 30's have had 15 or more lovers. I could be wrong here as I've not seen any stats from credible sources. BTW I believe most people with AIDS are straight.
Straights are the majority of AIDS cases worldwide. Gays are the Majority in the USA.
I do wish there was some information available beyond the first two paragraphs. I don't foresee this triggering much useful discussion otherwise...
From other sources:
"The findings of a study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry (December 2003) suggest higher incidences of illegal drug usage, alcoholism, psychological problems, and violence in the gay community than in the general population...
But bullying at school, the study noted, was reported no more often by gay men than by heterosexual men. Reports that gay men and lesbians are disproportionately vulnerable to school harassment "are often taken at face value," the researchers noted, with researchers failing to draw a comparison to heterosexual students, who--at least in this study--were found to suffer similar high rates of school bullying and harassment..."
"Two recent studies published in the Archives of General Psychiatry found higher rates of psychiatric disorders among homosexually oriented men and women than among the heterosexual population (Herrell 1999 & Fergusson 1999). Those articles mentioned that a third study, not yet published, had confirmed their findings."
Same-Sex Sexual Behavior and Psychiatric Disorders
Arch Gen Psychiatry. 2001;58:85-91
Background It has been suggested that homosexuality is associated with psychiatric morbidity...
Results Psychiatric disorders were more prevalent among homosexually active people compared with heterosexually active people.
Conclusion The findings support the assumption that people with same-sex sexual behavior are at greater risk for psychiatric disorders.
Uh, no. It did give me problems with depression and relating to people later in life.
"This whole thread is just gay."
Gay h*ll, it's plumb hilarious.
This is so much cr*p. Homosexuals are depressed because of the things they can never have, family, marriage, normalcy in their lives. Its tough I know but thats what it is. If they get bullied, then the bullies should be caught and indicted for assault. Or they should "get over it". This is the left's arguement for "tolerance and normalcy" and really is the last of their party's minority groups being paid off for the support given to the dems over the years.
But I prefer to think of it as the end of political correctness as a movement. It is communism in its social disguise. Get over it.
Why not click on the links in EdReform's post #46 and educate yourself?
The truth is what's important, not anyone's "feeelings" or uninformed fact-free opinion.
I don't need a study to tell me that boys who hate sports and play with the girls at recess, and girls who like sports too much and look like boys, get singled out in elementary school for special abuse. Along with the fat kids and the crybabies. Perhaps you were homeschooled and missed this phenomenon.
