COLORADO SPRINGS, CO., June 13, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) A forty-eight page study to be published two weeks from now in the peer-reviewed journal, Psychological Reports, compares extensive and newly released Center for Disease Control (CDC) data, concluding that homosexuals are far more likely to engage in illegal and socially dangerous behaviour than heterosexuals. In fact, according to the study, homosexuals are over 12% more likely to have been booked for illegal activity than heterosexuals.
Dr. James Cameron of the Family Research Institute led and penned the report, which is based upon data gathered in 1996 by the CDC.
The National Household Survey of Drug Abuse (NHSDA) asked 12,381 respondents between the ages of 18 and 59, forty-six highly personal questions, spanning their age, race, and extensive details about their lifestyle and past history. In an interview with lifesitenews.com Dr. Cameron called the survey the largest, most elegant sexuality survey in the history of the United states. He estimated the cost of conducting the study at $13 million.
The most remarkable thing about the NHSDA with its huge price-tag and its resultant controversial data, says Dr. Cameron, is that it hasnt become public until now. In fact, according to Cameron the CDC, by law, was supposed to release the results of the survey, but didnt. When Cameron got wind of it and personally hunted down the data The National Center for Health Statistics had been sitting on it for a year.
Even now that this data has quietly become public The CDC has essentially neglected it remarked Cameron. In fact, only one minor paper on the whole survey has so far been published. Its a shame that the largest and best sexuality study in the history of the United States is just sort of gathering dust on the shelf.
In a press release put out by his institute Cameron alleges that the study was withheld from the general public because of its explosive content.
By conducting and publishing his study entitled, Homosexual Sex As Harmful as Drug Abuse, Prostitution Or Smoking, Cameron set out to put the data to its intended use. Youd have to have a gob of money [to conduct such a study], said Cameron. We couldnt have done it, and what is most impressive is that this is the CDC. They wont deny that they did the study, and they wont deny the data. Heres the CDC, staunchly homosexual, collecting data which proves the dangerous nature of homosexuality.
In order to make the study as scientific, comprehensive and as hard-hitting as possible, the study also compares the results of the current survey with other similar surveys, all of which, with minor exceptions, correspond to the Family Research Institute report.
The CDC itself compiled the data so as to compare the activities of those who engaged in the so-called four recreations (homosexuality, prostitution, illegal drug use and smoking) and those who had not. The Family Research Institute then compared this data accordingly, concluding that Those who engaged in homosexuality were similar to those who used illegal drugs, participated in prostitution, or regularly smoked in disturbances of public health and social order. That is, similar patterns in the differences were evident in criminality, dangerousness, use of illegal substances, problems with substance use, mental health, and health costs.
The data for criminality indicated that 22.8% of homosexuals have been booked for committing a crime, compared to 11% of heterosexuals. This statistic held true for both gays and lesbians. Thats noteworthy, said Cameron, It shows a rebellion, an unwillingness to go along with society.
The study also indicated an increase in the use of illegal substances, driving while intoxicated, and dangerous sexual practices, including intercourse with multiple and HIV+ partners.
Speaking on the import of his research Cameron remarked that The scripture of the realm of modernity is scientific literature. And we want the Christian community to understand that the science is really very consistent, and highly concordant with the historic Christian position on homosexuality.
Dr. Cameron has long been a controversial character in the sociological/psychological world for his outspoken belief in the inherent dangers and immorality of homosexual behaviour. Some have asserted that his personal beliefs have influenced his research. Cameron, however, stands firmly behind his work and the scientific purity of his methods and conclusions.
Indeed, despite the taboo which certain pro-gay institutions, including the highly pro-gay American Psychological Association (APA), have attempted to attach to Cameron, the extent of his work into the subject has attracted a great deal of attention in the last number of years and his research has been widely cited.
In fact a Wall Street Journal article from April of this year reports that the journal in which Cameron publishes his work, Psychological Report, gives the necessary nod to the opinion of the APA and increases the number of peer reviewers from the usual four to as many as twenty-one before agreeing to publish his work. Following this extraordinary and unusual level of scientific rigour, Camerons studies continue to be printed in the journal as perfectly acceptable work in the realm of comparative sexual research.
Oops. Please accept my own retraction! :)
BTTT
WOW!

Oh fercryinoutloud. This writer looked at 23% vs. 11% and concluded this means homos are [23 - 11 =] 12% more likely?!!
"Bad wording"? LOL. The writer is an imbecile.
AAAARRRRGGGG!!!!!
Actually, it is much worse than that--the author didn't understand his numbers. Rounding, 11% of heteros have been arrested and 23% of homos have been. I assume that's where he gets his 12%. But actually, it's a more than 100% increase in the rate of criminality as the rate more than doubled.
Verrry interesting. I've very busy right now but will ping the list later.
Obviously, it's a case of profiling.
Yup, it's bound to be a big hit with the editorial staff of every major newspaper and every news opinion program in the MSM.
My next door neighbor, 78 years old, with macular degeneration, allowed a gay man working at a neighborhood market to move into her house. The understanding was that he was to help her with paying her bills and be her 'eyes'.
After less than 6 months, she asked him to leave. Last Friday, I discovered after reading her Trust to her, and unknown to her, the attorney, and her ex-room mate were to own her house after her death, 50-50.
Stipulating in that will that the room mate must still be residing in her house, caring for her, and not received gifts from her as well.
She bought him a television set, and a new bed as well as draperies for the room and an entertainment center he took all items with him when he moved out.
When I read her trust to her, she said no one had ever read that in entirety, even when the attorney had her sign the trust, she knew she was signing a trust, and trusted her attorney to look out for her interest.
This woman has 3 children, and relatives from her marriage. Who have all been written out of her trust.
What I'd like to know is how they're defining homosexual. Given that homosexual sex is rampant in prisons among otherwise straight men, how would those ex-convicts arrested for another crime be categorized? It could be that all they've discovered is that habitual offenders commit more crimes.
Lol
Good one really did have me rofl.
Were the attorney and the "market-man" involved with each other? This sounds pretty sordid.
