LANSING, MI, February 28, 2013, (LifeSiteNews.com) – A new study has found that gay and lesbian couples are less likely to be healthy than heterosexual couples, a finding that confirms traditional claims that homosexuality is an unhealthy lifestyle.
This study, published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, found the starkest of contrasts when it narrowed its focus to homosexual couples living together as contrasted with married heterosexual couples.
It found that same-sex cohabiting men were 61 percent more likely to report “poor or fair health” than an equitable number of men reporting from heterosexual marriages. Same-sex cohabitating women were 46 percent more likely to report the same when compared to heterosexual married women.
Indeed, black women in a lesbian relationship were likely to report being less healthy than single, divorced, and widowed black women.
These results held after controlling the socioeconomic status of the 1,659 same-sex couples reporting.
The study confired the mounting evidence gathered through decades of studies that homosexuals are living an unhealthy and risky lifestyle.
The only epidemiological study ever done on the subject shows gay men die an average of 20 years younger than straight men – and that homosexual men have the same life expectancy all men had in 1871. The findings, published in Canada's International Journal of Epidemiology in 1997, were confirmed by a 2005 American study conducted by Dr. Paul Cameron.
Studies have consistently found that homosexuals have higher levels of depression,suicide, and alcohol or substance abuse than heterosexuals. They also tend to make less money than their heterosexual counterparts, which may account for some health care discrepancies.

The professor who led the newest health-related research, Dr. Hui Liu of Michigan State University, chalked up the discrepancy to the fact that homosexuals cannot marry, as well as the burden of stress and discrimination.
Liu told the press, “If marriage can promote health, it is reasonable for us to expect that if same-sex couples had the advantage of legalized marriage, their health may be boosted."
Liu proceeded to suggest that filing joint tax returns may also boost health of same-sex couples, should they be permitted to “marry.”
The study did not specifically address how these assertions were supported from the data.
In the end, Liu’s study reinforced, rather than challenged, previous studies that found that homosexual behavior is hazardous to one’s health.
Ping, please.
well yeah, Sodomy will do bad things to you

That fact has been so noted not only in my lifetime but even in ancient times. Both Roman and Greeks warned of such homosexual weakness or disease.
I was just going to ask... where is the report on the poor children who are forced to be motherless/fatherless because of homosexual marriage.
Our gut tells us that they have multiple partners and increased STDs.
Is it possible that the fags are having sex all over the place, with multiple partners, carrying all kind of diseases while at the same time they get their heads all screwed up. (link to suicide).
Why is she assuming a marriage certificate will improve the health of two gay men? It seems to me the problem is that there are no complementary traits like those that exist in a male/female marriage - a reason that proves the natural law theories that have been believed forever.
Two males (especially 2 males - not 2 females) might naturally come to tensions because of a natural characteristic of wanting to be the alpha person in the duo. Heck - that happens in all the animal kingdom too. I guess that explains why in nearly every same-sex relationship, one assumes the male - dominant role and one assumes the female-submissive role. But that is not normal, no matter how it is characterized.
There is simply no logic in same sex pairings. It is not sensible biologically/physically, mentally and or spiritually.
From what I hear the gay men are more likely to have 'open' relationships and the lesbian (not sure what variety) are the ones more likely to beat up or get beaten up by their partner when hit with stress. just what I have heard
Dr. Liu is making it sound like they just survived a war zone.
If you are experiencing pathological problems because the freakin government won’t give you a piece of paper with specific words on it then you are MENTALLY ILL.
Homosexuals are MENTALLY ILL! There I said it! There is nothing even remotely normal or sane about that level of pure whininess.
“Oh nooos I can’t have a legal wedding I’m going to have a heart attack!”
Give me a break...
Mental illness doesn’t make one a bad person but those who choose to ignore and/or ‘normalize’ this sickness are absolutely awful people.
No doubt in my mind that heterosexual couples are more healthy that homosexuals!
And they’re prolife too!
Yup, that’s why some in Congress want to expand its Violence against Women law to include gays/lesbians, who are doing most of the domestic battery. It’s a mental illness and to deny that is just cruel to the ones who really need some help. I pity the poor children subjected to it. The Ugly Truth has to be told, and then the support for gay marriage will go back to its proper state of disfavor.
Oh yeah. He got paid well.
(Beware of the prophet who profits.)
Odds are that you and I paid for it.
