Homosexuals have lifespan shortened by 20-30 years

[dev553344]

igarette smoking causes premature death: Life expectancy for smokers is at least 10 years shorter than for nonsmokers.

This article is from the 1990s, when HIV treatment was in its infancy. Now that HIV is treatable, it no longer shortens lifespan - and so the article is seriously out of date!

It's actually from around 2000. But OK, that is about 25 years ago. Here's something more recent: Lesbian, gay and bisexual older adults suffer more chronic health conditions than heterosexuals, study finds

"Lesbian and bisexual older women are more likely than heterosexual older women to suffer chronic health conditions, experience sleep problems and drink excessively, a new University of Washington study finds."


"In general, lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) older adults were found to be in poorer health than heterosexuals, specifically in terms of higher rates of cardiovascular disease, weakened immune system and low back or neck pain. They also were at greater risk of some adverse health behaviors such as smoking and excessive drinking. At the same time, however, findings point to areas of resilience, with more LGB adults engaging in preventive health measures, such as obtaining HIV tests and blood pressure screening."

Question​

Do transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals have increased overall and cause-specific morality compared with cisgender people?

Findings​

In this cohort study of 139 484 individuals, TGD people had elevated overall mortality compared with cisgender people, specifically deaths from external causes (suicides, homicides, and accidental poisonings), endocrine disorders, and other ill-defined and unspecified causes. Transfeminine individuals had a decreased cancer mortality risk compared with cisgender women but the same risk as cisgender men, whereas transmasculine individuals had the same cancer mortality risk as cisgender people."

"The four lines of evidence were consistent with previous findings suggesting that homosexual activity may be associated with a lifespan shortened by 20 to 30 years." Does homosexual activity shorten life? - PubMed

Let's not harp on the homosexuals who clearly are giving up 20-30 years of life for their cause. Let's warn them and exhort them to heterosexuality.

This is a complex issue. Preconceptions can lead to poor conclusions.
And even WORSEN the problem.

I recall some studies done on the effects of negative speech on growing plants.
Notice that premature death is listed here below. Perhaps a major factor in the shortened lifespans
of homosexuals has to do with negative speech.

Rejection by family, friends, church, and society at large
can have terrible health consequences. Are we part of the problem?
Are we murdering homosexuals by hating them?

Here's a segment from an article on the subject of the effects
of negative speech on growing plants.

A few ways that negative speech can affect your plant are:

• Slow growth
• Loss of blooms or lack of blooms
• Loss of potential height
• Premature death

One of the world’s biggest retailers, IKEA, performed a test using three plants, all identical. They had students either compliment or bully each of the plants as an initiative to draw attention to bullying. All other variables were the same, including light, water, food, and even location.

After 30 days, there was a significant difference in the plants. Plants are living objects, and it is easy to forget about them. Just like negative speech to an animal or person can ruin your relationship with them, it does have a negative impact on how your plant will grow. You also need to realize that there is no reason to speak that way to your houseplants!

Are we murdering homosexuals by hating them?

Does God hate gays and gay supporters because he will burn them in Hell forever?

 

[St. SteVen]

It has long been known gays suffer cancers due to their behavior. And a shorter lifespan.

Only God can call them to his righteous path.

Something to consider.
Research shows how negativity feeds cancer.
Homosexuality may be more of a symptom than a cause.

Basically, if we didn't hate homosexuals, they would live longer.
In essence, we are killing them with rejection.
Sentencing them to death by cancer (among other things)
with our judgments against them.

Here's an excerpt from an article on the subject of how negativity feeds cancer.

Twenty years of research has found that cancer development can be caused by negative feelings, with the feelings of “unforgiveness” being one of the leading emotions. Forgiveness has long been linked to our mental and physical health. The chief surgeon at the Cancer Treatments of America, Dr. Steven Standiford, explained that healing emotional wounds is just as important in cancer treatments as treating physical ones.

I have never met a truly happy content Gay person.
They have a lot of hangups and issues that drives them nuts or batty.

A person who runs about sexually being a goose regardless, being Gay or not is not good for anyone.
Depravity is a Sin and the wages of Sin is death to the Soul in fact it's like a cancer and such does eat away at peoples mental health, becoming a Slave to such shallowness. for they are under delusions and deceptions, for that is the sum for who they are, poor ! sick ! Demented !

The Workings of the Devil must be exposed regardless ! They have evil sprites controlling them.

This may be a chicken, or egg, question. (which came first?)
A homosexual probably had "a lot of hangups and issues" long before engaging in such activity,
Even a result of peer pressure in youth today.

If a young person questions their gender identity, why not question their sexual identity?

From a CDC article on the...

Health Risks of Loneliness ​

Although it’s hard to measure social isolation and loneliness precisely, there is strong evidence that many adults aged 50 and older are socially isolated or lonely in ways that put their health at risk. Recent studies found that:

• Social isolation significantly increased a person’s risk of premature death from all causes, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity.1
• Social isolation was associated with about a 50% increased risk of dementia.1
• Poor social relationships (characterized by social isolation or loneliness) was associated with a 29% increased risk of heart disease and a 32% increased risk of stroke.1
• Loneliness was associated with higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide.
• Loneliness among heart failure patients was associated with a nearly 4 times increased risk of death, 68% increased risk of hospitalization, and 57% increased risk of emergency department visits.1

Immigrant, LGBT People Are at Higher Risk​

The report highlights loneliness among vulnerable older adults, including immigrants; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations; minorities; and victims of elder abuse. It also points out that the literature base for these populations is sparse and more research is needed to determine risks, impacts, and appropriate actions needed.

Current research suggests that immigrant, and lesbian, gay, bisexual populations experience loneliness more often than other groups. Latino immigrants, for example, “have fewer social ties and lower levels of social integration than US-born Latinos.” First-generation immigrants experience stressors that can increase their social isolation, such as language barriers, differences in community, family dynamics, and new relationships that lack depth or history, the report states. Similarly, gay, lesbian, and bisexual populations tend to have more loneliness than their heterosexual peers because of stigma, discrimination, and barriers to care.

I had puzzled for some time over the appearance of cleansing lepers in this list.
Not really much of an issue in today's western culture.
It finally occurred to me that the lepers were the outcasts in Jesus' day.
Who are the outcasts in our day?

Matthew 10:8 NIV
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[a] drive out demons.
Freely you have received; freely give.

It had nothing to do with HIV, the article used 4 pieces of junk science by the author himself. they were all "obituary" studies where Cameron clipped newspaper obituaries he thought belonged to gay men.

Question​

Do transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals have increased overall and cause-specific morality compared with cisgender people?

Findings​

In this cohort study of 139 484 individuals, TGD people had elevated overall mortality compared with cisgender people, specifically deaths from external causes (suicides, homicides, and accidental poisonings), endocrine disorders, and other ill-defined and unspecified causes. Transfeminine individuals had a decreased cancer mortality risk compared with cisgender women but the same risk as cisgender men, whereas transmasculine individuals had the same cancer mortality risk as cisgender people."

"chronic stress due to repeated exposure to violence, discrimination, and economic and social marginalization results in greater vulnerability to poor health outcomes and mortality among TGD individuals globally"

No, it is something first invented by Cameron.

So, you say with no source data. Doesn't it make sense to you that a beloved minority engaging in risky behavior would die an early death compared to the general population?

I have never met a truly happy content Gay person.
They have a lot of hangups and issues that drives them nuts or batty.

It makes sense since their underlying condition is a mental disorder. Worse, our society is placating the disorder and even inspiring them to take "pride" in deviancy and dysfunction. Of course they are not going to be truly happy and content. Of course they have lots of hang ups and issues.

Our society is doing the same thing against fat shaming. Even advertisers are using fat models now, glamorizing dysfunction.

 

[TinMan]

It makes sense that people would lie about a minority to justify prejudice

It makes sense since their underlying condition is a mental disorder.

Yeah homophobes are not exactly the more well balanced people but that is not what the thread is about

Worse, our society is placating the disorder and even inspiring them to take "pride" in deviancy and dysfunction. Of course they are not going to be truly happy and content. Of course they have lots of hang ups and issues.

Homophobes have lots of issues and are some of the saddest people around

 

[Wrangler]

It makes sense that people would lie about a minority to justify prejudice

You are confusing prejudice with judgement - on purpose.

 

[Wrangler]

Doesn't it make sense to you that a beloved minority engaging in risky behavior would die an early death compared to the general population?

Can't answer this question, huh?

You want to pretend that reality is politically driven rather than the other way around. IF only people did not hate or irrationally fear stupid, self-destructive behavior then it would not be stupid, self-destructive behavior - in your mind.

 

[Jack]

Christians don't hate gays. We try to pull them out of the fire. Gay advocates are leading and following gays to the everlasting fire.

WHast self destructive behaviors? Can you show any that that don't rely on junk science and bigotry?

 

[St. SteVen]

WHast self destructive behaviors? Can you show any that that don't rely on junk science and bigotry?

Would you agree that a sexually promiscuous life (since you don't like the word "lifestyle") is self-destructive behavior?

I define sexual promiscuity as having multiple sex partners outside of marriage.
(at the same time, or over time) Which would include both fornication and adultery.

Yeah...who cares about truth?

It's your question to answer.
