Women who engage in similiar behavioral practices fare little better; I believe they live "clear" until age 52 or therabouts. <_<This is a new one to me, so I spent a few minutes looking up where it came from. All that's turned up, however, were a few articles of a secondary-source nature pointing back to an almost decade-old study where data was gathered from obituaries in newspapers over the course of a few years.
Several searches at the Center For Disease Control website turned up nothing.
Would you care to point out references to more reliable sources? I'm simply curious.
Although current studies conclude that homosexuality is not stemed in genetics or psychology, it doesn't explain how many individuals discover what homosexuality is AFTER they've realized their attraction to the same sex. Maybe people are indeed born homosexual, just as most of us are born heterosexual. Science has certainly been wrong before. ;)
