There have been multiple studies that have equated a homosexual lifestyle with a shorter life expectancy. This is undoubtedly due to the health risks associated, such as AIDS, Hepatitis, and a variety of other infections and STDs. In addition, homosexuals are more likely to be smokers, which takes the lifespan even lower. A 1997 study from pro-gay researchers who were trying defend homosexuals, found that the life expectancy for homosexual men was 8 to 20 years lower than heterosexuals.[1]
