Do you have a source for that? A(n admittedly quick) Google didn't turn anything up.

I was a bit curious about it as well. Specifically, is that per capita, or total dollars spent?
It's only intuitive that gay men statistically have more numerous and more serious medical problems, than "straight" men of a comparable age. Every sexually transmitted disease known to man - and there are many - has a higher incidence in a gay male population than an age-matched straight population. That's simply a result of promiscuity: more partners lead to greater chance of acquisition of the causative organism. And some of these sexually transmitted diseases, especially AIDS, can be life threatening, and require extensive regimens of expensive drugs. On the other hand, it would be hard to think of any illness at all where homosexuals would have a lesser incidence than age-matched heterosexuals.
I'm not saying all gay men are ill or that all straight men are healthy, just saying that on statistical average, the health of gays is significantly worse than that of heterosexual men of a comparable age group.
