LIFESPAN RESULTS OF HOMOSEXUALITY

                                       Vol. IX, No. 4, April 1996

Dr. Paul Cameron (who heads the Family Research Institute, which is not to be confused with Gary Bauer's Family Research Council) and colleagues conducted research on 6,714 obituaries from 16 United States homosexual journals from 1981-1993 as compared to a large sample of obituaries from regular newspapers. The sampling from the newspapers matched the U.S. averages for longevity. The median age of death of married men was 75, 80% of whom died at 65 or older. The median age of death of unmarried or divorced men was 57, 32% of whom died at 65 or older. The median age of death of married women was 79, 85% of whom died at 65 or older. The median age of death of unmarried or divorced women was 71, 60% of whom died at 65 or older.

A comparison of these statistics to the homosexual population is startling. According to Cameron, the median age of death of homosexuals was virtually the same nationwide. Less than 2% of homosexuals survived to 65. This statistic is so extreme, no doubt because of the disparate percentage of homosexuals with AIDS, as compared to the rest of society. For those homosexuals with AIDS, the median age of death was 39. For those homosexuals whose death was from other factors besides AIDS, the median age of death was 42, 9% died at 65 or older. The survey found that 140 lesbians had a median age of death of 45, 23% survived to 65.

Other factors about the homosexual community are alarming. Homosexuals were 116 times more likely to be murdered and 24 times more likely to commit suicide. The disgusting details of the homosexual lifestyle explain why so many diseases are present in the homosexual community.

There can be no doubt that the homosexual lifestyle is a dangerous one.

[Editorial Comment: These figures demonstrate once again that the Lord God knew best when He created one man for one woman for one lifetime. Note the devastating condemnation of homosexuality in these statistics. Also note the abbreviated life span of unmarried men and women, especially the men. God's plan is always best. ...
