You homosexuals are really something. You believe that being a homosexual somehow grants you an extended life span or that it’s at least as long as a non-homosexual’s, you demand proof of any other point of view, then won’t read it.
Why don’t you show me your evidence for how being a homosexual extends your life expectancy.
And by the way, since you won’t read my first link, Psychological Reports is a peer reviewed scientific journal.
You're very quick to ad hominem attacks on people who disagree with you, because you are unable to support your statement with valid scientific evidence. I am heterosexual, and have always been heterosexual. I lost my beloved husband to cancer, and have some familiarity with cancer risk factors and mortality statistics.
Once again, male homosexuals do indeed have a high risk for shortened lifespan, everyone is aware of this (despite your accusations to the contrary). However, lesbianism is not a risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Your link has a 1998 paper from Dr. Cameron from the Family Research Council. Dr. Cameron references AIDs in the paper, for which lesbians have very low rates of transmission, while male homosexuals have high rates of transmission. Simplifying it for you: Male homosexuals have very different health issues from female homosexuals. Males homosexuals tend to get AIDs, while lesbians don't.
I agree with sl that the study you linked to is bogus. It is based on obituaries in gay newspapers? Really? There is nothing scientific about the ‘research’.
The fact that you are resorting to calling posters homosexuals because they disagree with your ill-informed opinion (i.e., The average age of death for lesbians is 42) causes me to think that your intentions here are not friendly to Free Republic.
You insult Sally Ride by insinuating she contracted pancreatic cancer because she is a lesbian, you back up your claims with bogus research, refuse to differentiate between the affects of AIDS on men and women and then call reasoned posters homosexuals because they don’t agree with you.
I could just see your comments posted on DU as an example of the ‘pseudo’ right’s ignorance.
I imagine your next step will be to call me a homosexual as well. Good luck with that. I know quite a few freepers in person and they will vouch that I am a happily married woman that supports only one man/one woman marriage.
