The best I can do is tell you that I have seen the research on this website several times indicating that the average life expectancy for gay men is 42. In addition to the AIDs risk, gay men have the highest suicide rate and the highest rate of alcoholism and drug addiction. Then there's the smoking thing and that the fact that, um, anal promiscuity, um, opens one up to all sorts of non-AIDs health problems. I do not know what the story is with lesbians.
