LANSING, MI, February
28, 2013, (LifeSiteNews (doc) 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 homosexual 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.
