In regards to homosexuality statistics, below are some statistics which reveal the nature of homosexuality:
- In respect to the causes of homosexuality, Dr. Whitehead and Briar Whitehead state regarding various cultures: "If homosexuality were significantly influenced by genes, it would appear in every culture, but in twenty-nine of seventy-nine cultures surveyed by Ford and Beach in 1952, homosexuality was rare or absent."[1]
- In regards to homosexuality and AIDS, Of newly diagnosed HIV infections in the United States during the year 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that about 63% were among men who were infected through sexual contact with other men.[2]
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated the following regarding homosexuality and syphilis in the United States: "While surveillance data are not available by risk behavior, a separate CDC analysis suggests that approximately 64 percent of all adult P&S syphilis cases in 2004 were among men who have sex with men, up from an estimated 5 percent in 1999...."[3]
- In respect to homosexuality and gonorrhea in the United States, the CDC reported the following regarding the United States and homosexuality: "CDC conducted sentinel surveillance in 28 cities and found the proportion of cases resistant to fluoroquinolone antibiotics (a first-line treatment for gonorrhea) increased from 4.1 percent in 2003 to 6.8 percent in 2004. Resistance is especially worrisome in men who have sex with men, where it was eight times higher than among heterosexuals (23.8 percent vs. 2.9 percent)."[4]
- In 2006, The Medical Journal of Australia stated the following regarding homosexuality and parasites: "High rates of intestinal parasitism are found in MSM [men who have sex with men] throughout the world."[5]
- In regards to homosexuality and hepatitis in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) both Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B disproportionately affects men who have sex with men (MSM).[6][7]
