I've been a practicing homosexual for more than two decades now

Practice doesn't make perfect. Looks like the more one practices, the greater his chances of killing himself. (Not to be confused with the joke about "How do I get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice.")

You mean like smoking?

Or drinking alcohol?

Or excessive consumption of fatty foods?

Or any of countless other self-destructive behaviors people might choose to engage in?
