It's a sad statistical fact that few practicing homosexuals live into their 50s or 60s. Life expectancy is 20 years less than that of heterosexuals.
It may be statistical, but it is becoming less and less factual. Most of the reason that homosexuals have lived shorter spans in the past were due to trauma inflicted (both mental and physical) by bigoted and wilfully ignorant folks. Folks of this nature are dwindling in numbers, fortunately, as Inquisitors seem to find societies difficult to exist in, with the exception of a few eastern cultures such as the Pakistani, al-Qaida, etc.
The worst enemy of a homosexual is the the culture of affirmation, complacence, celebration of something that will cause so much misery and disarray in their lives.. and end it in their 40s.
I don't consider that bigotry.. that just a statement of facts.. and acknowledgement of Free Will that homosexuals have in remedying their predicament.. by leaving it behind. There is nothing natural or inevitable about the pathology.
I'm a far more authentic friend to those caught up in this dilemma than their enablers and facilitators. They have all the legitimacy of those who enable and provide excuses for addicts and alcoholics.. to their great long term distress.
Attaboy (attagirl?), leap to incredible and devoid of fact load of assumptions. It is amusing at times.
It's informed by faith.. and by reason.
Try to create a vibrant, peaceful and productive culture without those. That's what we're attempting in the West.. replacing it with empty, maudlin sentiment, superstition and an ideology relativism and gratification.. and it is failing catastrophically.
Faith; the belief that whatever one believes in to be correct and accurate, actually is correct and accurate. Reason by human standards, relies on being informed with as much fact as is possible. Sorry, but you fail in regards to the latter.
At least one of the reasons culture is failing is because of corporate governance, governmental crony capitalism, and the loss of adherence to solid principles.
Superstition? You mean such as in Christianity and other cults?
You should really break free of your dependence upon your religiously zealous parents and check out the real world sometime. lol
