PHILADELPHIA, Apr. 5 /Christian Newswire/ -- Marriage between a man and woman seems to result in longer life for both. Does it work that way for gay marriage?
"No," says Dr. Paul Cameron of the Family Research Institute, a Colorado-based think tank.
Researchers Paul and Kirk Cameron reported at the Eastern Psychological Association convention that married gays and lesbians lived about 24 fewer years than their married heterosexual counterparts.
In Denmark, the country with the longest history of gay marriage, for 1990-2002, married heterosexual men died at a median age of 74, while the 561 partnered gays died at an average age of 51.
In Norway, married heterosexual men died at an average age of 77 yr., the 31 gays at 52. The lifespan of same-sex married lesbians was 20+ years shorter than the lifespan of married heterosexual women. In Denmark, married heterosexual women died at an average age of 78 yr. as compared to 56 yr. for the 91 same-sex married lesbians; in Norway, married heterosexual women died at an average age of 81 v. 56 for the 6 same-sex married lesbians.
"These are the ages of death as reported by the census bureaus of Norway and Denmark," said Dr. Paul Cameron. "While the internet is filled with debate about our previous findings -- largely based on obituaries -- these deaths were recorded by governments. The obituaries we assembled over the same time period in the US were similar: an average lifespan of 52 for 710 gays who ostensibly did not die of AIDS, 42 yr. for those 1,476 who supposedly did; and 55 yr. for 143 lesbians. So the findings from Scandinavia are not much different from figures derived from U.S. obituaries."
Paul Cameron, Ph.D. & Kirk Cameron, Ph.D., presented "Federal Distortion Of The Homosexual Footprint." Paul Cameron, a reviewer for the British Medical Journal, the Canadian Medical Association Journal, and the Postgraduate Medical Journal, has published over 40 scientific articles on homosexuality. The EPA is the oldest regional Psychological Association in the United States. At its Philadelphia convention members presented the latest advances in scientific work to colleagues.

I couldn’t say ...
But you could find the regression analysis if you searched for back issues of “The Actuary.”
There is other aspects to the reasons, for lebians a nd male gays, higher drug use, violence, and women can get diseases, aids is not the only killer, also these types of situations usualy involve multiple partners inwhich could involve bi sexuals who can contract disease and spread on a broader basis. There are many STDs and STIs that can be gotten from skin contact alone from an infected area which condoms will do nothing to protect, this is a lie of the safe sex crowd, condoms do not protect! Mant strains symptoms are mild and at times arent even known of their presence but the effect is there full force. 8,000 STDs /STIs contracted a day from the condom safe sex lie crowd! 10 to 12 million a year. I believe I read once that 95% of all cervical cancers is caused from the HPV strains.
I have no doubt.
In the first link above, the survey also found:
A significant finding from the survey was the common use of "party drugs" among gay male respondents. Nearly 40 percent of gay men surveyed at the Millennium March said that "party drugs," such as cocaine, special K, crystal, ecstasy and GHB, are used at least once a month or more among their close circle of friends."Party drugs" will do wonders for shortening your lifespan

Note post 64 on depression. Statistically very significant.
I remember reading somewhere that the average for gays is about 35 years. SOunds low to me, but I am sure someone somewhere has the numbers.
A word that has been used to reference both cigarettes and homosexuals...behaviors that both cut short one's life.
I think that’s low, although there may be new numbers out. In my actuarial days (late 1990’s), the averages were early 40’s counting AIDS deaths, late 40’s excluding AIDS deaths.
Crystal Meth, multiple random partners on the weekend, its all good.
I dont agree with the homosexual lifestyle, BUT calling someone a fag doesnt help anything, it is a sin as all sin is sin, so if you havent sinned you need to be tactful and helpful, you will never help anyone by calling them names. Do we need to change from our sin? ABSOLUTELY!!!!! But fornication or adultery (and I got news for you looking at porn which imcludes swimsuit issue magazines(its all the same intentions)It is cheating, it is fornication, it is adultery if you are married if you are not married it is fornication, it is a sin that will send one to hell as any other. Peace!
That sounds about right 40 Years.
No douubt. Perverse behavior would bring about guilt and depression.
It was an obvious gag. Lighten up.
All unrepented sin contributes to depression. It should go without saying ... but our society is organized around denying the obvious.
Also suicide rates.
Actually I think the angle to ban smoking has always been the secondhand smoke- IOW your actions are harming others.
Society needs to reorganize.
