Gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals reported more health problems than straight men and women, in a large U.S. survey.
For the first time since its launch in 1957, the National Health Interview Survey in 2013 and 2014 included a question about sexual orientation.
With nearly 69,000 participants, the survey revealed that lesbian, gay and bisexual adults "were more likely to report impaired physical and mental health, heavy alcohol consumption, and heavy cigarette use, potentially due to the stressors that (they) experience as a result of interpersonal and structural discrimination," researchers wrote online June 28 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Gilbert Gonzales of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville and colleagues found that compared to heterosexual women, lesbians were 91 percent more likely to report poor or fair health. Lesbians were 51 percent more likely, and bisexual women were more than twice as likely, to report multiple chronic conditions, compared to straight women.

Gonzales told Reuters Health that the health disparities are likely due to the stress of being a minority ...

Other factors too, along with so-called minority stress, may account for health differences between heterosexuals and lesbian, gay and bisexual people, Gonzales said.
For example, he said, survey respondents may not have had access to marriage, which wasn't legalized at the federal level in the U.S. until 2015.

Is this so? The cause of the stressors that (they) experience is the result of interpersonal and structural separation from Natural Law. That is, the added risks of sexually deviant behavior results in higher risks of contracting STDs, AIDs, and other physical diseases, plus the attendant mental disorders that go with their life style choices.
LOL...very good!
Sebastian Bach is gay?
Survey finds excess MENTAL health problems in lesbians, gays, bisexuals
Perverted actions have perverted consequences.
It is clearly a mental illness and was called that too until only a few years ago. It is obvious they are wrong not classifying these people as mentally impaired.
Wow....what a surprise..! /s
That is quite the opposit. When a certain segment of society is allowed to do anything without restraint like children, it self abuses.
This is what's commonly known as "HORSE CRAP"..!
In classic seduction con artistry, a man who seem happy and does not care attracts women and is socialy successful. Basically they call themselves gay for political reasons of attraction and con artistry.
The goal in crucifiction is to show the prophet miserable and unhappy, thus unattractive. It was typical Roman decadent homosexuality that were at the basis of the ritual of humiliation.
The day of reckoning is coming.
the best part of these freaks is they have a disproportionate suicide rate.
They know they are mentally ill/defective, and no change in cultural perceptions will ever change that. When one understands in graphic detail what gays do to each other, then one understands that nobody can ever convince them it is “normal”.
From a health standpoint, it's not so much being gay--it's all the risky behaviors that most homosexuals engage in. The question becomes: "Are the promiscuity, self-destructive, and abusive behaviors inherent to being gay? Or can you be gay and monogamous and 'clean' (From drugs, etc.) and be just as healthy as heterosexuals?"
But, if we assume that homosexuality is a choice and believe that people are gay because that's what gets them off sexually, then we get back to the concept of the wages of sin.
There has never been a better (more opportune) time to be gay. And if these pathologies persist, then the intellectually honest observer has to conclude that the gay lifestyle is not an "equally valid" choice as being a monogamous heterosexual from an actuarial standpoint.
Judging from his coloration, he has AIDs, a fairly significant health problem
Well DUH! If you live a lifestyle that is contrary to your design, what else should a person expect?
Bingo! Plain and simple. Sinful practices lead to death and destruction. Drugs, perversion, dishonesty and hatefulness sew the seeds of misery.
But the destructive behavior they display will be elevated while the ramifications will be put at the feet of normal people.
What makes you think they are a guy? I feel triggered.

Gotta get that accusatory “discrimination” jab in. It’s OUR fault, you know.
I’m frankly shocked at the reasonable comments - on a Yahoo article! It’s overwhelmingly pro-sanity.
No but his shirt that the liberal media bashed back then (Google it) said the truth
