Legalized same-sex marriage may provide couples with more than just legal benefits. A new study suggests gay men who get married may be healthier than unmarried gay men.
For the study, published in the Dec. 15 issue of the American Journal of Public Health, researchers compared health records on 1,211 gay patients at a community health clinic in Massachusetts in the years before and after same-sex marriage was legalized in 2003.
What did the researchers find? In the year after same-sex marriage was legalized, gay and bisexual men who got married were significantly less likely to visit the clinic for medical and mental health care. Married men saw reductions in their hypertension, depression, and frequency of stress-related disorders called adjustment disorders, health records showed.

There are no virtues in extolling self-described “virtues” of depravity.

Sure...They picked up their partners health benefits and no longer have to go to “the clinic”.
Probably because the under or unemployed got medical benefits from “marriage” to their fully employed butt buddies. They could go to an HMO instead of the gay clinic.
The problem is that very few want to marry or can stay married. That is never likely going to change.
Yes and no. Some homosexuals redefine monogamous to mean something else: married or living with one person but free to do anybody else.
We may not approve their marriage, but I believe this is one of the mechanism that leads to the findings. The other factors including some level of emotional (and perhaps economic) stability.
And usually both get “Thursday Night Off”. If ya know what I mean.
They both get some “strange” when they want it.
There is no such thing as monogamy with homosexuals. It’s counter to the lifestyle, the whole point is to be able to have sex whenever, wherever, with whoever they want. Anytime, anywhere.
