Gay Mirriage

First: Let's all agree that the American government didn't legalize Gay marriage for the sake of "Gay Marriage" they don't care about "Gays" all what Obama wants is to stay the president of the United States Of America. Second: I want to talk about Gay men most of them if not all of them are shy they don't tend to be talking to girls especially in the younger ages 14-19 (Teenagers), From my point of view I think that originally Gay people want to feel normal they want to feel that they can talk to girls at any time, Not only that but also they feel that girls are in some kind of a "Position of Power" where they choose who they talk to whenever they want to ,In fact they actually want to feel this power, They want to be liked while they don't look to the talents they have as "Men" their self esteem becomes lower and lower I'd say until they lose hope in talking to girls , But the problem is that they hate loneliness so they will try and do whatever it takes to get into a relationship despite the fact that this relationship is with the same sex. N.B: what I said in the previous segment was nothing but my point of view Lots of researches have shown that Homosexuality causes Mental & Physical Problems , As for the mental problems we got: depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobia, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and alcohol and drug dependence were significantly higher in homosexual respondents. Which caused Twenty-One Percent suicide plans; 12% of these plans had attempted (almost half of those 12% were multiple attempters). Most who attempted suicide made their first attempt before age 25. Homosexuals more likely to suffer from depression: "A new study in the United Kingdom has revealed that homosexuals are about 50% more likely to suffer from depression and engage in substance abuse than the rest of the population, reports Health24.com . . . the risk of suicide jumped over 200% if an individual had engaged in a homosexual lifestyle . . . the lifespan of a homosexual is on average 24 years shorter than that of a heterosexual . . . While the Health 24 article suggested that homosexuals may be pushed to substance abuse and suicide because of anti-homosexual cultural and family pressures, empirical tests have shown that there is no difference in homosexual health risk depending on the level of tolerance in a particular environment. Homosexuals in the United States and Denmark--the latter of which is acknowledged to be highly tolerant of homosexuality--both die on average in their early 50's, or in their 40's if AIDS is the cause of death. The average age for all residents in either country ranges from the mid-to-upper-70s." Now let's talk about The Physical Diseases that is caused by homosexuality: HPV (Human Papillomavirus), The most common STD in the United States, is also a concern for MSM. Some types of HPV can cause genital and anal warts and some can lead to the development of anal and oral cancer. Men who have sex with men are 17 times more likely to develop anal cancer than heterosexual men. Men who are HIV-positive are even more likely than those who are uninfected to develop anal cancer. Breast Cancer higher among Lesbians: "Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed and is the leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States, following cancers of the skin and lung. Recent research has identified risk factors for breast cancer that may differentially affect lesbian and bisexual women, including nulliparity and higher rates of alcohol consumption and overweight, that may place this population at greater [sic] risk than heterosexual women of developing breast cancer." 2% of U.S. population is gay yet it accounts for 61% of HIV infection: "Men who have sex with men remain the group most heavily affected by new HIV infections. While CDC estimates that MSM represent only 2 percent of the U.S. population, they accounted for the majority (61 percent; 29,300) of all new HIV infections in 2009. Young MSM (ages 13 to 29) were most severely affected, representing more than one quarter of all new HIV infections nationally (27 percent; 12,900 in 2009)." Gay men's lifespan shorter than non-gay men: "The life expectancy for gay and bisexual men is 8 to 20 years less than for men in general. Robert S. Hogg et al., "Modeling the Impact of HIV Disease on Mortality in Gay and Bisexual Men," International Journal of Epidemiology 26 (1997): 657." "In 2007, MSM [Men Sex with Men] were 44 to 86 times as likely to be diagnosed with HIV compared with other men, and 40 to 77 times as likely as women." Domestic Violence higher among homosexuals: "'the incidence of domestic violence among gay men is nearly double that in the heterosexual population.'(Gwat Yong Lie and Sabrina Gentlewarrier, "Intimate Violence in Lesbian Relationships: Discussion of Survey Findings and Practice Implications," Journal of Social Service Research 15 (1991): 41"59." Sex of women with women at greater health risk than women with men: "For women, a history of sex with women may be a marker for increased risk of adverse sexual, reproductive, and general health outcomes compared with women who reported sex exclusively with men." In the end i wan to say that i will not gain anything or lose anything from winning/losing this debate i only want the people to realize what's wrong before it's too late gay people don't strike me as evil but they have poblems; mental problems. http://psychcentral.com... http://www.icna.org... https://carm.org... http://www.cdc.gov... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov... onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=255614 glma.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=feature.showFeature&FeatureID=319&E:\ColdFusion9\verity\Data\dummy.txt http://www.carm.org... http://www.cdc.gov... exodusglobalalliance.org/ishomosexualityhealthyp60.php http://www.cdc.gov... ajph.aphapublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/97/6/1126
