whats sad though, is that i can witness even my homo/bisexual friends having mental instability. i have pointed out that their is a correlation, and they deny it.

i am yet to meet a homo/bisexual who either wasnt suicidal, or raped, or just has problems at home.

i will admit to having had thoughts like that before (homosexual) and you know what? on reflection, it was also in some of the darker parts of my life. times when i felt like crawling into a ball and enjoying nothingness forever.

its sad really... a full 5-10% of our people, told by the tv daily, that their painful thoughts are normal, and that they should just live with them.

There was a recent Dutch study conducted within the Netherlands, the most gay-affirming society on the planet, and has been for decades, that showed that homosexuals are far more likely to be alcoholics, to suffer single or even multiple mental disorders and on and on...This agrees with other studies within highly gay-affirming socities like San Francisco, New Zealand, etc.. and they all show the same thing.

Blows out of the water that " internalized homophobia" is responsible for homosexuals higher mental problem rates.

There are also studies that show a high correlation of homosexuality with being raped/molested as a child by an adult man. Just Google, you'll find these studies.

This is insane. Yes, there are a good number of homosexuals who face mental illness in their lives. But it ain't just the queers lining up at the pharmacy counters for psychiatric medications. There's an awful lot of straight folx out there on Prozac, you know. And, don't argue percentages with me unless you've got published statistics to back them up.


And, to compare homosexual desire to nihilism is patently absurd. I suppose we're still to believe masturbation to be self-abuse, right?

Hmmm. My palm is getting a bit hairy . . . urban legend, my ass!

Now, if homosexuals have mental instability, depression and suicidal thoughts, it is totally the fault of the religious right, homophobes, Republicans, conservatives and bullies at school.

And President Bush.

The actual percentage is closer to 2%.

Homosexuals sexually molested as children in very high percentages.
I don't think it's a coincidence.

What an incredibly ridiculous statement. To blame a person's sexuality for all the family problems is naive. I know of several homo/bisexual people who have and are leading full lives. I have lost straight friends to suicide. Everyone has problems. They do not all stem from a person's sexual orientation. What teenager doesn't think about or attempt suicide at least once in his/her life? I attempted to kill myself because my parents were overbearing, overprotective and just expected their child to be able to accomplish anything and everything they dreamed I could do. I am a proud father of 2 children and been married for 13 years. My wife's sister is a lesbian. The emotional strain from being gay is not becuase you are going "against nature", it is because of intolerance and hatred. I have read stories of German-Jewish children who suicided becuase they were inundated with German teachings that told them that they were evil. Were these children evil?

"i am yet to meet a homo/bisexual who either wasnt suicidal, or raped, or just has problems at home"

What do you mean by that? It sounds as if you are saying that they were raped becuase they were homo/bisexual? How is that their fault? That is the same as the "she asked for it" defense. I don't care if a woman is dancing in the street naked, that gives no man the right to rape.
