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.

gee, what about sticking your body part in an anus, or smoking cigarettes and over doing alcohol let alone drugs could possibly be unhealthy...
throw in the multiple sex partners of dubious health themselves...
you forgot sexism
It’s the LACK of sex-the proper kind.
And Islamophobia.
This is the current leader for self-obvious headline of the year.
Homosexuals make up 82% of all new AIDS cases. Homosexuality activity is a death sentence, but under Obama they are treated like conquering heroes.
Richard Pryor’s character in a movie:
“Tooth decay is caused by sin. My wife has only had one cavity and that was from something she did long before she met me.” Not an exact quote.
We all sin, but we can change.
The mistake of the homosexual is to believe they are exempt from having to change. It is everyone else that needs to change in the homosexuals sick possessed mind.
Buttsex.
That’s what happens when your rectum sees more traffic than the Holland Tunnel....
Perhaps it’s not a GAY LIFE STYLE after all?
oh, come on. The lesbos are generally overweight, the gays have butt disease and the bis and trannies whatever weirdness.
Dysfunctional living yields negative consequences.
That homos exist in the first place means Darwinism isn't true.
People who use their body in ways it wasn’t designed for, just might suffer health consequences - imagine that! And then the article says that normal people who don’t abuse their bodies are the reason people who do abuse their bodies have health problems. So just by living a healthy lifestyle you are somehow to blame for the problems of those who are perverted.
NO!
Oh I can’t believe this!
I have a great idea. Why not make it easier for them to donate to the nation’s blood supply.
Oh wait, they’re already trying to do that.
Well, at least we don’t let terrorists move to the U. S.
What’s that you say?
They are?
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,”
So let me get this straight; They follow their “nature” and it “stresses” them? Why doesn’t it do the opposite? Homosexuality leads to a life of disease, despair and death. There is no peace or joy in sexual obsession.
Also, when the Bible says homosexuals receive "the due penalty for their wrong behavior" (error), it means it.
