Survey: Bisexual women in poorest health

Smoking is stigmatized because it is unhealthy. Why not male homosexuality and bisexuality? (Is there evidence that lesbians have more health problems? I have not seen it. I've read that they tend to be much more monogamous than male homosexuals.)

I’m surprised this news made it to the MSM. Generally they don’t publish anything that would be critical of homosexuality.

I’m just waiting for the Rosie O’Donnell jokes, with this report that lesbians are more likely to be overweight...........

Is there evidence that lesbians have more health problems? I have not seen it.

Try reading your own posting, goofball.

Why do people continue to post articles about homos? Who cares?

[who_would_fardels_bear]

"a total of 3 percent, or 2,271 people, identified themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual"

Wait. I thought they made up 10% of the population and rising.

Someone needs to be sent to a reeducation camp.

[achilles2000]

If they were back in the closet where they belong, no one would care. But, since they are pushing their depraved lifestyle on schoolchildren and the public at large, we pay attention.

Was this another, very, very, very important study funded by tax payers. I could puke.

[xzins]

Confirmation of Family Research Council studies showing lower life expectancy for homosexuals.

[chris37]

What about bisexual men?

[GOPJ]

Sorry - gays etc. are a yawn. Anyone interested in folks who only do it by moonlight swinging from a trapeze? Which group is healthier - those who swing by a full moon or those by a quarter moon? Yawn, yawn, yawn.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

They were more likely to be tense or worried, to smoke, have asthma, abuse drugs, or be victims of sexual abuse.

You have to wonder how much that last item has to do with the ills listed.

IOW if you compared sex abuse victims as a group, gay, bi or straight, male or female would you find that this has more to do with their wounded spirits then their sexual preference.

[MrEdd]

I know a lot of lesbians. and monogomous is not a word that comes to mind to describe the lifestyle.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

I don’t know how exactly you would classify somebody as bisexual. and then get a large enough sample of people to come to such a conclusions. If they are a bisexual woman and in a stable relationship with a woman, i am sorry. I would consider that person a lesbian.

I think if anything, it is not as much their sexual habits that harm them. It is their emotional instability. Anyone who goes from one partner to another is obviously dealing with issues upstairs. It is not healthy.

That is a lot different than say 2 lesbians who have lived together for 10 years or longer.

[kingcoal]

We had two living next door - fat and smoked like chimneys
Both died before they hit 50 or so. They were not nice people either.

[xzins]

When wag or ljeremiah show up, they’ll post the link to all the articles on homosexuality that they have collected. Look up those by Family Research Council dealing with life expectancy.

In any case, a bisexual really doesn’t matter to the Centers for Disease Control. Their classifications make more sense. They are based on sex partners.

Men who have sex with men
Women who have sex with women

etc, etc.

The basic issue is that those who have sex with their own gender do injury to themselves physically and psychologically.

Thus, the lower life expectancy

a sc ohio older conservative :>)

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

I agree. But I think each circumstance is a little different. The gay lifestyle is immoral and degrading.

But there is a big difference. There is someone in my family who has been living with her partner for 10 years and they are very nice and down to earth people. Compare that to a gay man or woman out picking up dates going from bar to bar and partner to partner.

[chargers fan]

Wait. I thought they made up 10% of the population and rising.

Ah, the lies Kinsey left us with.

[xzins]

Odds are they’ll still die 10 years before their peers.

[Catmom]

I didn’t know Algore was a lesbian.
