HOMOSEXUAL LIFESTYLE: UNHEALTHY, SAD AND LONELY

Whoever named homosexuals, "gays," must have had a peculiar and very jaded sense of humour. The word "gay" is a pathetic misnomer since the homosexual lifestyle, according to the homosexuals themselves, is anything but happy, and leads to serious medical problems and a lonely life.

In an article for the homosexual newspaper, Capital Xtra (September 27, 2002) Brian Gallant, Capital Xtra's publisher and editor in chief states:

It shouldn't be too difficult to convince you that gay men face greater health risks than our heterosexual counterparts. And if you're a sexually active gay man, there are health risks in our culture or subculture that healthcare providers simply don't understand, unless you're one of the more fortunate.

Mr. Gallant then proceeds to list the health problems resulting from the homosexual lifestyle. These problems include:

  1. Eating disorders, such as bulimia or anorexia, resulting from body image problems which are more common among gay men than among their straight peers.
  2. Alcohol abuse and dependency, which is higher than among straight men.
  3. Gay men use tobacco at much higher rates than straight men, reaching 50% in some studies.
  4. Depression and anxiety appear to affect gay men at a higher rate than people in the general population.
  5. Gay men use chemical substances at a higher rate than the general population. These range from amyl nitrate (poppers), to marijuana, ecstasy and amphetamines.
  6. There is an increased risk of HIV infection.

An article included in the March 2003 issue of the homosexual magazine, TO BE, by Ouri M. refers to a 2001 survey called "The Wellness Project," initiated by Pink Triangle Services in Ottawa, which found that the number one health concern for homosexuals is depression. The author blames this health problem on the loneliness caused by the gay culture. He states:

It is my opinion that many gay men are extremely lonely, and feel very isolated. Our gay culture has not celebrated the virtues of long-term relationships, love, faithfulness, and monogamy. The gay culture celebrates and worships youth, physical beauty, and sex. Being young and gay is fun, going out to clubs and cruising is adventurous and exciting. However as the years pass us by, and we do not settle down that adventure becomes less and less fun in my opinion. One begins to feel lonely, and frustrated, and in many cases seeks out many sexual partners to fill the void inside. Drugs are also often used to cover up the pain of ones [sic] loneliness, or reality.

… I believe we must change our focus and shift our culture from the sex, drugs, and physical we so dearly cherish. …

… We must help eradicate the loneliness and sadness many older gay men feel. There is a trap that may gay men fall into as they age, realising they are longer young and attractive and can't attract that hot guy anymore, they no longer want to go out to bars, then what?

Poor health, depression and loneliness are the end result of the homosexual lifestyle and culture. Yet, not only tolerance, but the acceptance of this lifestyle are being imposed on young people in our schools, backed by the Supreme Court of Canada in the Surrey School Board decision. (See Reality, Jan./Feb., 2003, p.1.)

As responsible adults, we need to protect our young people from the homosexual lifestyle, not encourage participation in it.
