The Statistics on Homosexuality and its Effects
Some statistics about the Homosexual lifestyle:
- One study reports 70% of homosexuals admitting to having sex only one time with over 50% of their partners (3).
- One study reports that the average homosexual has between 20 and 106 partners per year (6). The average heterosexual has 8 partners in a lifetime.
- Many homosexual sexual encounters occur while drunk, high on drugs, or in an orgy setting (7).
- Many homosexuals don't pay heed to warnings of their lifestyles: "Knowledge of health guidelines was quite high, but this knowledge had no relation to sexual behavior" (16).
- Homosexuals got homosexuality removed from the list of mental illnesses in the early 70s by storming the annual American Psychiatric Association (APA) conference on successive years. "Guerrilla theater tactics and more straight-forward shouting matches characterized their presence" (2). Since homosexuality has been removed from the APA list of mental illnesses, so has pedophilia (except when the adult feels "subjective distress") (27).
- Homosexuals account for 3-4% of all gonorrhea cases, 60% of all syphilis cases, and 17% of all hospital admissions (other than for STDs) in the United States (5). They make up only 1-2% of the population.
- Homosexuals live unhealthy lifestyles, and have historically accounted for the bulk of syphilis, gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, the "gay bowel syndrome" (which attacks the intestinal tract), tuberculosis and cytomegalovirus (27).
- 73% of psychiatrists say homosexuals are less happy than the average person, and of those psychiatrists, 70% say that the unhappiness is NOT due to social stigmatization (13).
- 25-33% of homosexuals and lesbians are alcoholics (11).
- Of homosexuals questioned in one study reports that 43% admit to 500 or more partners in a lifetime, 28% admit to 1000 or more in a lifetime, and of these people, 79% say that half of those partners are total strangers, and 70% of those sexual contacts are one night stands (or, as one homosexual admits in the film "The Castro", one minute stands) (3). Also, it is a favorite past-time of many homosexuals to go to "cruisy areas" and have anonymous sex.
- 78% of homosexuals are affected by STDs (20).
- Judge John Martaugh, chief magistrate of the New York City Criminal Court has said, "Homosexuals account for half the murders in large cities" (10).
- Captain William Riddle of the Los Angeles Police says, "30,000 sexually abused children in Los Angeles were victims of homosexuals" (10).
- 50% of suicides can be attributed to homosexuals (10).
- Dr. Daniel Capron, a practicing psychiatrist, says, "Homosexuality by definition is not healthy and wholesome. The homosexual person, at best, will be unhappier and more unfulfilled than the sexually normal person" (10). For other psychiatrists who believe that homosexuality is wrong, please see National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality.
- It takes approximately $300,000 to take care of each AIDS victim, so thanks to the promiscuous lifestyle of homosexuals, medical insurance rates have been skyrocketing for all of us(10).
- Homosexuals were responsible for spreading AIDS in the United States, and then raised up violent groups like Act Up and Ground Zero to complain about it. Even today, homosexuals account for well over 50% of the AIDS cases in the United States, which is quite a large number considering that they account for only 1-2% of the population.
- Homosexuals account for a disproportionate number of hepatitis cases: 70-80% in San Francisco, 29% in Denver, 66% in New York City, 56% in Toronto, 42% in Montreal, and 26% in Melbourne (8).
- 37% of homosexuals engage in sadomasochism, which accounts for many accidental deaths. In San Francisco, classes were held to teach homosexuals how to not kill their partners during sadomasochism (8).
- 41% of homosexuals say they have had sex with strangers in public restrooms, 60% say they have had sex with strangers in bathhouses, and 64% of these encounters have involved the use of illegal drugs (8).
- Depending on the city, 39-59% of homosexuals are infected with intestinal parasites like worms, flukes and amoebae, which is common in filthy third world countries (8).
- The median age of death of homosexuals is 42 (only 9% live past age 65). This drops to 39 if the cause of death is AIDS. The median age of death of a married heterosexual man is 75 (8).
- The median age of death of lesbians is 45 (only 24% live past age 65). The median age of death of a married heterosexual woman is 79 (8).
- Homosexuals are 100 times more likely to be murdered (usually by another homosexual) than the average person, 25 times more likely to commit suicide, and 19 times more likely to die in a traffic accident (8).
- 21% of lesbians die of murder, suicide or traffic accident, which is at a rate of 534 times higher than the number of white heterosexual females aged 25-44 who die of these things(8).
- 50% of the calls to a hotline to report "queer bashing" involved domestic violence (i.e., homosexuals beating up other homosexuals) (18).
- About 50% of the women on death row are lesbians (12).
Homosexuals prey on children.
- 33% of homosexuals ADMIT to minor/adult sex (7).
- There is a notable homosexual group, consisting of thousands of members, known as the North American Man and Boy Love Association ( NAMBLA). This is a child molesting homosexual group whose cry is "SEX BEFORE 8 BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE." This group can be seen marching in most major homosexual parades across the United States.
- Homosexuals commit more than 33% of all reported child molestations in the United States, which, assuming homosexuals make up 2% of the population, means that 1 in 20 homosexuals is a child molestor, while 1 in 490 heterosexuals is a child molestor (19).
- 73% of all homosexuals have had sex with boys under 19 years of age (9).
- Many homosexuals admit that they are pedophiles: "The love between men and boys is at the foundation of homosexuality" (22).
- Because homosexuals can't reproduce naturally, they resort to recruiting children. Homosexuals can be heard chanting "TEN PERCENT IS NOT ENOUGH, RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT" in their homosexual parades. A group called the "Lesbian Avengers" prides itself on trying to recruit young girls. They print "WE RECRUIT" on their literature. Some other homosexuals aren't as overt about this, but rather try to infiltrate society and get into positions where they will have access to the malleable minds of young children (e.g., the clergy, teachers, Boy Scout leaders, etc.) (8). See the DC Lesbian Avengers web page, and DC Lesbian Avengers Press Release, where they threaten to recruit little boys and girls. Also, see AFA Action Alert.
The homosexual agenda.
- The homosexual agenda includes desensitizing the public: "The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights.....To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preferences the way they register different tastes for ice cream or sports games....At least in the beginning, we are seeking public desensitization and nothing more. We do not need and cannot expect a full 'appreciation' or 'understanding' of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing...then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won" (25).
- Part of the homosexual agenda is to get the public to affirm their filthy lifestyle, as one homosexual admitted in the October 1987 homosexual rally on Washington: "We are no longer seeking just a right to privacy and a protection from wrong. We also have a right -- as heterosexual Americans already have -- to see government and society affirm our lives" (27).
- Part of the homosexual agenda is to turn people from Christianity: "The teaching that only male-female sexual activity within the bounds and constraints of marriage is the only acceptable form should be reason enough for any homosexual to denounce the Christian religion" (1).
- Homosexuals knowingly lied (and still lie) about the 10% figure (i.e., homosexuals make up 10% of the population). As Tom Stoddard (formerly of the Lambda Legal Defense Fund) said, "We used that figure when most gay people were entirely hidden to try to create an impression of our numerousness" (17).
The true number of homosexuals.
- The Kinsey study of 1948, which homosexuals often cite to say that 10% of the population is homosexual, actually says that only 4% of the population is EXCLUSIVELY homosexual. This study involved a disproportionate number of people who had been in jail for sex crimes (hardly a random sample of the population). Kinsey also did perverse studies involving young boys and pedophiles. Information on Kinsey.
- Current research shows that the true percentage of homosexuals is in the 1-2% range (15,23,26,28). Consider how small this number is when compared to most of the numbers above.
Homosexuals aren't discriminated against in employment, so why should they be a protected class?
- The average yearly income of a homosexual is $55,430.00 (most of which is disposable because no children to take care of!). The average of the general population is $32,144.00. The average of blacks is $12,166.00 (24).
- 59.6% of homosexuals are college graduates. 18.0% of the general population are college graduates (24). Too bad they aren't smart enough to listen to God. "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (Romans 1:22).
- 49.0% of homosexuals hold professional/managerial positions. 15.9% of the general population hold such positions (24). Where's the job discrimination?
Sexual Orientation
- A phrase that has come up recently in this earth is "sexual orientation." This is a phrase made up by homosexuals to try to make themselves look less filthy than they really are. The purpose of the phrase is to take the spotlight from what these perverts do, and put it on the notion that they are just poor, mistreated people, who simply are attracted to members of the same sex - as if they aren't engaging in activity forbidden by God Almighty. "Sexual orientation," as used today, has nothing to do with sexual activity (yeah, right), but only refers to who or what a particular person is attracted to. If you think that people of other "sexual orientations" are just fine, let's see what other "sexual orientations" you would necessarily have to accept as wholesome and pure. If you're not going to discriminate based on "sexual orientation", then you must not discriminate against any of the following. If you discriminate against any of these, you're a hypocrite. These "sexual orientations" are generally known as "paraphilias", and are mental disorders - just like homosexuality used to be (29).

I smell ozone... ZOT!
Perhaps for some but not the vocal homosexual activists. The link DirtyHarryY2K provided demonstrates a definite agenda.
Indeed there are - some of them are on this forum. And we have some ex-gay conservatives as well.
"Pride parades are at least happy and, more important, pretty, and it's makes for a refreshing ONCE-A-YEAR break from all the ugliness in the world, some of which ugliness includes things like the original post"
Oh, it's so pretty seeing naked men with giant fake phalluses humping each other in public! It's so sweet seeing men dressed up as nuns with the same gear acting out real or faux sex acts! And how charming, seeing men wearing nothing but chains, leather chaps and jockstraps, leading little boys around on chains!
Pretty, and happy too!!
You are lying, you are not conservative, and neither are your friends. I wonder if you know all their names? The above figures are accurate and many of them are taken from homosexual researchers and publications.
If you think that FR was a good place to promote the "gay" agenda, you are about to find out that you were mistaken.
Buh Bye!
Another one bites the dust.
Writhe in peace.
There are other very suspect statistics in this piece: for example, the claim that the average homosexual man dies at 42 years. This is flat out wrong; this claim was originally made by the discredited researcher Paul Cameron, who based his results on obituaries printed in gay publications with a young readership, a research method with an obvious flaw. The truth is represented by a study that was done in Ontario recently: the average homosexual has between 7 and 20 years cut off their life expentancy (so they will probably live until their late 50s on average). This compares, by the way, with the statistics for heavy smokers, who also lose 20 years of life expectancy.
It's too bad some of them can't stick to the facts and forget about all the misrepresentation. Perhaps I'm asking too much...
One thing I've learned, you cannot have a rational debate with a homosexual activist. just like Progressive's post # 100, all you'll get from them is - Bla, Bla, Bla, Bla, etc, etc......
ProgressiveConservative, you are No Christian and Jesus did NOT issue ONE Commandment. He told us to OBEY and FOLLOW the original 10 commandments and issued two more beyond that. Next time read your bible and stop going to satan's church.
"Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if you will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God" (Deuteronomy 11:24-28).
"All his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness" (Psalm 111:7-8).
“Jesus said, I have not come to bring peace, but the sword.” (Matt. 10:34)
"If you love me, keep my commandments," John 14:15. "
In the book of Exodus, chapter 20, verses 1-17, God gave His commandments to men to obey and live by them, but what are we seeing today? Many say "I have Jesus Christ as my personal Savior." But when you ask them, "Do you keep God's Commandments?" they will simply say that the law or commandments have been nailed to the cross by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In contradiction to the above statement by many, we hear our Lord Jesus Christ say:
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled," Matthew 5:17- 18.
"If you want to enter life, obey the commandments," MT:19:17
Jesus said:
"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:19).
"If you keep my commandments you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love" (John 14:10).
You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you" (John 15:14).
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city" (Revelation 22:14).
Deal with this, THE TRUTH
I concur, which is why I responded as I did. Arguing with an homosexual activist is easy - just start talking facts and their arguments wither away.
Meg - for some reason I just can't accept your word as absolute proof that Paul Cameron is "discredited", especially as I've read many threads in which Scripter has defeated such accusations, in detail. Is this a new discreditation?
Please cite references and explain your accusation. Your opinion just isn't enough to convince me.
There are other very suspect statistics in this piece: for example, the claim that the average homosexual man dies at 42 years.
I believe you are referring to Cameron's 1994 study, which was supported by the International Journal of Epidemiology here: Modelling the impact of HIV disease on mortality in gay and bisexual men
Cameron's 2005 study: Gay obituaries closely track officially reported deaths from AIDS can be read in the scientific journal, Psychological Reports (2005;96:693-697).
From here:
The Washington Blade, a homosexual newspaper, has been the major gay paper used to track gay obituaries. So its obituaries for death due to AIDS were compared to AIDS deaths among males who had sex with males from the CDC for 1994 through 2000. Surprisingly, there was almost perfect correspondence. The effects of the new drug cocktails for AIDS were evident in both datasets. In 1994 the CDC put the average age of death by AIDS for gays at 39, the Blade at 40. By 2000, the CDC reported the median age of death at 43 and the Blade at 42. Similar correspondences were noted for the 25th and 75th centiles of deaths.Informed folks know that the homosexual lifestyle is anything but healthy. Checkout my profile for pointers to years of articles on the health hazards of the homosexual lifestyle.
No, this does not support Cameron. Cameron claimed that the average homosexual male dies at age 42 even if AIDS is not the cause of death, and that the average homosexual male dies at age 39 if AIDS is included. The article you have linked to indicates: "CONCLUSION: In a major Canadian centre, life expectancy at age 20 years for gay and bisexual men is 8 to 20 years less than for all men." (It also indicates that these numbers are based on statistics collected between 1987 and 1992.) These numbers are at least 12 years more than Cameron's numbers.
Please note I am not arguing that homosexuality is healthy. It certainly is not: the epidemiologists have made that very plain. My concern here is that we should not rely on Cameron. It makes us look bad.
If these facts are in dispute, I would be grateful for clarification. Meanwhile, I would steer clear of Cameron -- he makes us look bad.
Cameron claimed that the average homosexual male dies at age 42 even if AIDS is not the cause of death, and that the average homosexual male dies at age 39 if AIDS is included.
What is your source for the above? I'm not saying it's wrong I just want to know where you got the information and if the source provides the complete study. Also, what does the rest of the study say and how is that different from the IJE study?
My concern here is that we should not rely on Cameron. It makes us look bad.
Why should we not rely on Cameron? I need specifics and not something that originated from Sullivan or Pietrzyk.
I thought you might be referring to this. Cameron did not have his APA membership stripped. He resigned in good standing on November 7, 1982. His resignation was accepted on November 28, 1982 by William Preston of the APA. Preston said he was sorry to hear about the resignation and asked why he was resigning. This is not the story you hear from Sullivan and Pietrzyk.
Cameron has also been accused of misrepresentations by a US District Court judge in a written opinion.
You're talking about Judge Buchmeyer who was repudiated by the full Circuit Court for misrepresenting Paul Cameron.
What I think makes us look bad is that some of us believe the misrepresentations of Paul Cameron without bothering to check them out.
