Negative Health Effects of Homosexuality
There is a study that looks at the health effects of homosexuality that is available at:
Negative Health Effects of Homosexuality
It compiles information from sources such as the Center For Disease Control (CDC), the Canadian Medical Association Journal, the Archives of Internal Medicine, the journal of Sexually Transmitted Infections, and even homosexual publications such as the Washington Blade.

I have to admit, your argument attacking marriage is a little unorthodox. In the bits that I have read on the topic, I have not seen that argument. I have trouble believing your statistics. I do not believe that a bias organization out to support an agenda could faithfully collect data.
Since, you agree with me about Mr. Ellis, I can suspend reality for a few minutes. For the sake of argument, lets suppose that your statistics are right on. I am sure we both realize that individuals will choose to participate in homosexual activity. Golly, this activity is not even against the law. Do you know what the similar statistics are for single people? How about single people living in cities? Now what are the statistics for married couples? Perhaps, you could support marriage based on the idea that the institution would promote a "healthy" lifestyle.
I'm sorry, but I do not understand you. You are very contradictory in what you say.
On the one hand you say the Family Research Council is too biased for you to accept their compilation of data from sources such as the CDC, AIDS journal and other scholarly publications. The Family Research Council has never been shown to have lied or modified data.
On the other hand you bring forth Professor Joseph Ellis of Mt. Holyoke College, a proven and admitted liar who faked historical facts to suit his version of what he wanted to have happened, as an authority who can be trusted.
I'm going to put my trust in an organization with a track record of telling the truth.
Whether an activity is against the law has nothing to do with anything we've been discussing. Because something is legal does not necessarily make that something moral and right. Just because something is legal, that does not mean it's beneficial. Something being legal does not even make that something desirable to do. All you can say is that it's legal.
Comparing another immoral behavior, sex outside marriage, to homosexuality is not a valid comparison. Both activities are wrong.
If you'd like to see a comparison between homosexual "couples" and married people, that is available at: http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=IS04C02
The concluding paragraph of this article states: "The evidence is overwhelming that homosexual and lesbian 'committed' relationships are not the equivalent of marriage. In addition, there is little evidence that homosexuals and lesbians truly desire to commit themselves to the kind of monogamous relationships as signified by marriage."
So, Joe lied about his military experience. Thank you for pointing that out. Why would he do something that dumb? Anyway, his actions remind me of our President, a fine upstanding citizen.
I will take the 0 for 1. But, 0 for 2? Are you referring to the Salon.com story? The one about gay Abe? The article hardly paints Larry Kramer in a positive light (Unless you consider being called fire-breathing, revisionist historian to be a positive thing). The article simply goes through LKs ideas. It does not support them. It just gives his point of view. We are all freethinkers (I hope) and can come to our own decision.
The best part of Abe being gay is not the question of his sexuality. Rather, the response from people that just can not stand the idea of it. Why does it matter if he was gay or not? He has made his contribution to history. That contribution had more to do with the issues of the civil war that who he was longing for.
We are talking about legalizing marriage. More simply, we are talking about legalizing a contract between two, adult, individuals. “All you can say is that it is legal.” That is the very point. It is not a bad thing to have legal contracts.
Gay marriage has nothing to do with religion.
What do you think about gay marriage promoting monogamy and society’s acceptance of the homosexual community? In other words, when society embraces gay couples into marriage, the result will be lower STD rates among this group.
"The evidence is overwhelming that homosexual and lesbian 'committed' relationships are not the equivalent of marriage.” I could not agree more. I remember hearing that 50% of so of American heterosexual couples divorce, this sounds rather high. I wonder how committed heterosexual couples are?. Thankfully, we have an experiment ongoing in Massachusetts.
What does another couple’s marriage have to do with your own? When couples of different faiths are married, your marriage is not compromised. I am guessing your bond is strong enough to withstand any attack.
If you do not want your organization to participate in this activity, do not do it. Please, do not marry gay people. It is not about your organization. Contrary to what you believe, you are not the center of the universe.
Somebody brought this idea to my attention last week. They suggested that there are bigger problems in the world to worry about rather than gay marriage. This is a valid point. People are dying everywhere, needlessly. Rather than letting a small part of the population have this right, some would spend energy fighting it. Are there not more important things in life? The death and destruction in this world increases exponentially. Why spend two seconds on this issue. Every, moment you post on this issue is less time you spend on real problems. Please, step aside and let adult people engage in these contracts.
I should warn you, I plan on reading a book by Susan Jacoby. You do not have to worry yet. As the book is not even on deck.
What is with the baseball references? Do you enjoy the sport? Do you play? Do you have a favorite team? MLB or college? Personally, I’ve started to get into the college game a little. I had, and took, the opportunity to see Jared Weaver last year. That had to be the highlight of my sports viewing last year
Why is it that when an issue such as whether Lincoln was gay seems to support your view it is something important I should read, but as additional information comes out supporting that he was not gay (for example see http://www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/050221/misc/21lincoln_4.htm) then your position becomes "Why does it matter if he was gay or not?"
No, we are not talking about legalizing a contract concerning a relationship between two people. We are talking about marriage, which is a relationship between a man and a women instituted by God in Genesis 2:24.
Your comments really bring me back to one question you have avoided answering. Are you an example, a role model so to speak, for how we should behave and be tolerant of others?
This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
Umm.. honestly. I forgot to post that one. But, I'll play.
Yes, I am a role model.
I was looking back at some of my original posts on the topic of our dear gay Abe. My very first comment was "Here is something to think about, Abe Lincoln may have been gay." My position never has changed. You are, once again, making things up. Do you enjoy making things up? Or is that just part of the MTA package? You would think I would be used to it by now. But, I always hold out, thinking, you can come up with something resembling what I said.
I will give you a hint. Orphans do not come from homosexual sexual relationships.
