    ” “health risks of the homosexual lifestyle,” ”

    What about the health risks of the heterosexual lifestyle? Prolapsed vaginas after having too many kids, bowel and bladder incontinence after having too many kids, Shooting and killing their spouses and/or girlfriends in hair salons and spas, raising kids that are guilty of mass murders a la Columbine…need any more???

    @sozei: For future reference, don’t leave out the citations. Otherwise your post looks like what it is: unsubstantiated assertions.

    Brava Carol!

    @sozei: Aidan8 is right, sozei. The only point I would put forth is that similar statistical rants have been used to justify further oppression of disenfranchised groups. It would seem a much more worthwhile effort to rally around such destructive statistics and push for righting societal/religious persecution.

    @sozei: Guess what. These are all things that result from STRESS. Stress brought on by ignorant people who hate.
