Why are people supporting LGBT?

COMMON HEALTH ISSUES
Lesbians are at a greater risk of developing breast cancer than heterosexual women.

Gay men are at a greater risk than their heterosexual counterparts for developing testicular, colon, and prostate cancers. Gay men and bisexual men who have sex with men are also at a greater risk for developing anal cancer because they are at a greater risk for being exposed to HPV, the human papilloma virus, which can cause cancer.

LESBIANS
Mental health is also a major concern for lesbians, including substance abuse disorders and suicide. Women with same-sex partners have been found in studies to experience more psychiatric disorders, including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and phobias.

GAY MEN
Men who have sex with other men, whether they are gay or bisexual, are at a greater risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Nearly half of all new cases of HIV, for instance, are in gay and bisexual men. African American men carry the greatest burden. HIV is not the only risk and these men are also at risk for HPV, the human papilloma virus, which can cause cancer, and hepatitis. Syphilis, another sexually transmitted infection has also been on the rise in recent years, especially in large cities.

BISEXUAL MEN AND WOMEN
Bisexual women are more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors, such as having unprotected sex with a man, than heterosexual women. This puts them at a greater risk for contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Bisexual men, like gay men, are generally at a greater risk for sexually transmitted infections than heterosexual men.

As with gay men and lesbians, suicide is a serious and life-threatening issue for this population.

Substance abuse is a serious problem in the bisexual population as well.

TRANSGENDER HEALTH ISSUES
Mental health is a huge issue for people identifying as transgender.

Transgender men and women have higher than average rates of using illegal drugs and of smoking.

I'm referring to LGBT behavior not people. I want to support all people. I don't believe LGBT is an identity. LGBT is a behavior. It is a harmful, unhealthy, and dangerous behavior.

  • The corporations make a lot of money off LGBTQ people.
    Think about all the meds gays need to practice sodomy all the time?
    Think about the psychological trauma that makes a woman lesbian? they need meds just to keep them sane
    Think about the misery knowing you can never have a natural healthy family because you have a perverted sexual appetite.
    Trans people take hormone blockers, meds, have surgeries, etc.
    Also without families, you can pay LGBT people less, they will demand less money because they need less than a man with a family.

    Also if you understand critical theory and marxism, you understand the real purpose is to overthrow the social order. Nothing is a bigger overthrow than not having a family and denying your biological role in society.

    Knowing all this, people have been seriously indoctrinated to support gays ever since 2008 starting with Obama. Our movies, tv shows, magazines, YouTube personalities, and political commentators have been completely infiltrated with LGBT people. The catholic church has been infiltrated and perverted by the same forces.
    Our institutions are systemically LGBTQ.

  • Do you have any factual basis for these generalities, e. g. cite the evidence.

    • Bigots never have facts to support their beliefs.

    • Potato chips pose greater health risks, so does driving a car or even going outside, statistically speaking. You are basing your entire argument on something that is bizarrely abstract. Who wants to live a longer life if it's filled with nothing but undesirable and unfulfilling experiences?

  • Again, these are white American entitled college students who nothing better to do. They believe in the sunshine and rainbow theory that everyone should be love and la-di-da- which is unrealistic and pathetic.

  • Are you telling me because I'm bisexual I'm more likely to catch some disease from unprotected sex? That doesn't even make sense, I don't even have sex...

    • https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lgbt+health+risks - By all means, do your own research.

    • Haha ok the consenting people they did this study on are statistics, but I'm not a statistic, I'm just a random bisexual person. A person who hasn't had sex and would know my partner is clean before doing so mind you. So really, that doesn't say anything about LGBT as a whole if everyone is different. And don't even get me started on mental health because that's determined on the environment the person is/has been in and genetics, not their sexuality. Thank you very much ma'am have a nice day. 👌

  • Anyone who trusts a website called duckduckgo is a quack

  • Why would their health concerns negate their support?

    • https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lgbt+health+risks - By all means, do your own research.

    • I don’t need to research. I’m wondering why it stops someone from wanting to support them? Should we stop providing healthcare to people that smoke? Should we no longer give support to recovering alcoholics? Just because a lifestyle leads to some unhealthy conditions in certain individuals doesn’t mean you stop supporting them. You WSU’s are so they make safer choices. You provide healthcare to help someone when they are sick, not judge them and how they got there

    • And why would I trust an article on a site called duck duck go?

  • @wildbutterflykiss That link goes to a GENERAL LGBT web search, and NOTHING that supports your assertions, which, to any SANE, THINKING person, just SOUND LIKE BULLSHIT, and SEXISM, AND YOUR HATE OF THESE PEOPLE!! It's not OK to be Racist, but you can post SEXIST SHIT LIKE THIS?
    You have posted NO SUPPORT, for any of the BULLSHIT CLAIMS, you made, and you are a HORRIBLE BIGOT and HATER, just saying what you said!!

  • Because its the right thing to do.

  • Because I want people to live their lives and be happy and safe sex practices allow safety in that regard. And people should be with someone they actually love? This is dumb. Gay and bi people kill themselves because society says they're disgusting and how they're born is defecting and them loving who they love is comparable to murder or something.

  • most women wouldn't get cervical cancer if they didn't have sex with men who carry hpv which usually is the trigger... you need to take your prejudice and do some research on your way out and please close the door behind you

  • I don't support or criticize the LGBT community because people having same-sex relationships does not affect me or any other straight person at all

  • I looked up those statistics, most are debunked or cite that propaganda groups have cherry picked info, while national databanks and cancer researchers do not generally factor in sexual orientation. There's zero medical data to support most of the claims you are making.

    Someone else here called it propaganda, and that's exactly what it is. You are either willfully using false data to project your agenda, or you are simply just another ignorant person susceptible to that propaganda, and even worse, you are spreading the propaganda and supporting fake outrage. Either way, you are wrong, in every way possible.

  • I don't support it, I tolerate it, so long as it does not affect my rights, liberty or money.

  • Not everybody is heterosexual, it’s not a big deal as long as talk about sexuality isn’t forced upon kids

  • One word - politics

  • absurd ideas. without looking it up would be willing to bet most every study in your search (OP) there are about 20 real studies that at least partially counter.

    as for those knocking duck duck go. its not a website but a mobile search engine and browser. and you are essentially doing the sane as mocking google or bing. this is the only thing OP is defendable about though.

  • Because LGBT deserve everything as a straight person too

  • Wait- why are lesbians at a greater risk of breast cancer? Don't they BSE each other like every night?

    • What is BSE?

    • breast self-examination

  • Cuz sex is fun and you shouldn't be forced to have sex with someone you aren't attracted to

  • because their schools teach them to do so.

  • 1: They don't want to come off socially as being hateful or intoleratent.

    2: They are just sick and perverted as those who practice such debased lifestyles.

    Homosexuals and lesbians need help to help them change their ways which they are trapped in.

  • Why not?

  • Holy shit you're dumb

  • people are dumb; it's that simple

    • Do you hate lgbt?
