Recent Study Reveals Significant Health Disparities for Homosexual Teens

A recent (and first of its kind) study verifies again what many Christians have long warned about the homosexual lifestyle. Published in August of 2016 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the study—"Sexual Identity, Sex of Sexual Contacts, and Health Related Behaviors Among Students in Grades 9-12"—looked at a wide variety of risky behaviors among U.S. high school students. ..

In almost every instance, the risky behavior measured—especially behaviors that are often linked to a moral decision—was much more prevalent among teenagers engaging in homosexual activity. In addition, and unsurprisingly, those students with the healthiest outcomes were those who refrained from sexual activity. In most of the risky behaviors measured, the outcomes are not even close...

Nice edit!

I’m innocent I tell you! Innocent!

YES!!!!

I’ve looked at the CDC site for some time to gather debate info, esp during the homosexual “marriage” fiasco

As I recall, there are AT LEAST 80,000 NEW infections ANNUALLY. Of that, about 80% were from homosexual conduct, and of those, about 80% were young people.

So it’s not surprising that the young, naive, “it’s ok, it’s who you are” gullibles are the ones with the most to lose . . and are losing.

I also suspect the CDC’s numbers are purposely under estimated due to the politicization of AIDS. There’s FAR more out then then government is letting on.

Yet the left all gets its panties in a wad over “gun violence” but totally ignores HIV/AIDS esp amongst young males.

And I haven’t even mentioned other STDs yet.

What about lesbians?

[Westbrook]

Now why would that possibly be?

Could it be from shoving your gzouta into another gzouta, instead of putting your gzouta into the gzinta designed for it?

The most scientifically credible studies show that children of heterosexual parents fare better on numerous indicators of personal well-being than children of homosexual parents. Authored by Mark Regnerus, a sociology professor at the University of Texas at Austin, the study was published in the July 2012 issue of Social Science Research.

•Children of lesbian mothers are nearly 12 times (≅ 1200%) as likely to say they were sexually touched by a parent or adult as those raised in intact biological families. Asked if they had ever been raped, 31 percent of those raised by lesbian mothers and 25 percent of children raised by gay fathers answered yes, compared to 8 percent of those from intact biological homes.

•Twenty percent (20%) of those raised by lesbians and 25% of those raised by gay men reported having contracted a sexual transmitted infection, compared to 8% of those raised by their biological parents.

•Twelve percent (12%) of those with a lesbian mother and 24% of those with a gay father reported having recently contemplated suicide, compared to only 5% raised by an intact biological family or a single parent.

•Nineteen percent (19%) of those raised by a lesbian mother or gay father were currently or recently receiving psychotherapy, compared to 8% of those raised by their heterosexual parents.

•Twenty-eight percent (28%) of those of working age raised by a lesbian mother and 20% of those raised by a gay father reported being currently unemployed, compared to 8% raised by an intact biological family and 13% raised by a single parent.

And....add Long Term Insurance rates to that. Ours increased 50.1% this year!!!! Along with healthcare 33%. Hubby will have to work 15 more hours a month to break even.

With this news of this article and the replies, looks like we need to spend another 15 trillion in funds/grants to monitor the changes and educational crap ads on the radio.....”You Can’t Fix Stupid”....unless it’s a Donald Trump Administration!!!!!!!!!!!

“Which is tens-of-millions of Americans. (Sadly.)”

I’d put that at 100’s of millions. People think that what they see in TV and movies is real.

[Dilbert San Diego]

These statistics will be spun as indicative of discrimination against homosexual teens in healthcare. Evil conservatives and Christians want them to be unhealthy and are preventing them from getting medical treatment. You know the drill by now, I’m sure.

Yes, this will be the liberal spin put on this information.

We see this over and over with other subjects too. For example, recently there was a study done of homelessness in San Diego. And that study indicated that a certain number of homeless were “LGBTQ” YOUTH. And news readers dutifully reported this high homeless rate among LGBTQ youth, and trotted out politicians who urged us to have more programs to specifically help the “homeless LGBTQ youth”.

No matter what the story or the facts, the liberals and the media and politicians, will spin things so as to prove that the groups involved are being discriminated against by bigots, and that this is why they are victims.

“Of that, about 80% were from homosexual conduct”

And once you factor in that only 1-3% of the population is homosexual, it is clear that HIV is still very much a disease that impacts gay people.

But look at the CDC web site:

https://www.cdc.gov/std/hiv/stdfact-std-hiv.htm

“What activities can put me at risk for both STDs and HIV?
•Having anal, vaginal, or oral sex without a condom;
•Having multiple sex partners;
•Having anonymous sex partners;
•Having sex while under the influence of drugs or alcohol can lower inhibitions and result in greater sexual risk-taking.”

“What can I do to prevent getting STDs and HIV?

The only way to avoid STDs is to not have vaginal, anal, or oral sex. If you are sexually active, you can do the following things to lower your chances of getting STDs and HIV:
•Choose less risky sexual behaviors
•Use condoms consistently and correctly;
•Reduce the number of people with whom you have sex;
•Limit or eliminate drug and alcohol use before and during sex;
•Have an honest and open talk with your healthcare provider and ask whether you should be tested for STDs and HIV;
•Talk to your healthcare provider and find out if pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a good option for you to prevent HIV infection.”

Absolutely no mention of the highest risk factor.

The wages of sin is death.

... oh well....

[DWW1990]

Yeah, I’ve seen that before, and I remember how Regnerus was attacked for it.

[Vigilanteman]

You don't say! Plus multiply the risk exponentially since most queers want to do it with young stupid kids, ideally of high school age or younger.

In other news, water is wet and the sun rises in the east.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I refuse to accept their sanitized PC terminology.

[SandRat]

We TOLD YAH SO!!

[kearnyirish2]

Any male that has wiped his own butt knows it isn’t healthy - there is no way to sugar-coat the disgusting acts involved. When defenders have countered that some heteros do that, I have (truthfully) responded that I have no interest in it. Whether that orifice is on a male or female, it is a poop-chute - nothing sexual about it.

“The wages of sin is death.”

I was wondering how long before someone pointed out the obvious.

[kearnyirish2]

AIDS patients are closely watching the pre-existing condition issue with ObamaCare and its replacement because they have massive bills - those treatments aren’t cheap. Other homosexuals are watching because they know they have a good chance of getting it as well.

[A_Former_Democrat]

For individual policies, they try to mitigate by requiring not just medical records but consent to be tested for HIV

A better picture would be obtained from the stats for employer sponsored group life, where there is no medical review or testing. You know that took a major hit when the AIDS outbreak hit in the 1980s, although the amount of insurance was generally limited to only $50,000
