Hard evince is difficult to e by, but the data we do have suggts that homosexualy tends to shorten life by many years. "All homosexuals are aware that their lifpan is about 20 years ls than for normal people so voters should know that a homosexual print may not live to fish his term.
YET ANOTHER STUDY CONFIRMS GAY LIFE EXPECTANCY 20 YEARS SHORTER

In 1993 Pl Cameron published a study which found that homosexualy tak 20-30 years off the liv of s practners. Among men wh AIDS their lifpan was 39 years, however even whout AIDS a male homosexuals lifpan is jt a short 42 years. [3] The liberal Southern Poverty Law Centre dubbed Cameron an "anti-gay extremist", and the Amerin Psychologil Associatn expelled him for exposg the tth about the homosexual liftyle and acced him of scientific data "d".
Fortunately, Cameron had the support of fah based groups who would not back down to the homosexual agenda. Another 1997 study om pro-homosexual rearchers who were tryg fend homosexuals, examed data of AIDS aths between 1987 to 1992 Toronto, and found that the life expectancy for the homosexual men was 8 to 20 years lower than heterosexuals.
Over the past few months we have learnt of a number of reports regardg a paper we published the Internatnal Journal of Epimlogy on the gay and bisexual life expectancy Vanuver the late 1980s and early 1990s. 1 From the reports appears that our rearch is beg ed by select groups US2 and Fland3 to suggt that gay and bisexual men live an unhealthy liftyle that is stctive to themselv and to others. The homophobic groups appear more terted rtrictg the human rights of gay and bisexuals rather than promotg their health and well aim of our rearch was never to spread more homophobia, but to monstrate to an ternatnal dience how the life expectancy of gay and bisexual men n be timated om limed val statistics data.

If the same pattern of mortaly ntued, we timated that nearly half of gay and bisexual men currently aged 20 years would not reach their 65th birthday.
Unr even the most liberal assumptns, gay and bisexual men this urban centre were experiencg a life expectancy siar to that experienced by men Canada the year 1871.
