Baloney:

Herdt said, "On the other hand, we also know that gays and lesbians have higher levels of stress problems," he said, naming depression, alcoholism and drug abuse as examples.

Aren't the BCE a bigger priority of a concern than this?

What the fuck are you talking about, Steve?

Visit the hyperlink. I find it untrue to think that gays have higher rates of depression, alcoholism and drug abuse when compared to heterosexuals.

And I think the BCE are a bigger concern to be worrying about than gay marriage banning.

But it's the BCE who are behind the gay marriage bans. And only for use as a wedge issue to keep the red state trailer parks stirred up so they remain ignorant of what the BCE themselves are doing (see 95% of Busheep posts on this board or any other)

As for the stress, depression, and substance abuse among gays & lesbians, that's not hard to explain at all. Being told that your less than human, having your lives and freedom threatened, and occasionally targeted for physical violence simply because of who you are, tends to take a toll on one's health. And where religion might help most people as a coping mechanism, it's not always the case for the queers, where (depending on where they live) their church might well be part of the problem.

The sick irony of the whole thing is that those within the BCE who prey on homosexuals to create this distraction, and cause so much pain to millions of Americans, are gay themselves (i.e. Karl Rove, Karen Hughes, Scottie the Duck, Mary Cheney, and possibly the Chimp himself)

Damn, and that's just what we get from DDLR.com, you should see what the rest of the world dishes out to us!

Dr. Paul Cameron, Chairman of Family Research Institute, a research organization based in Colorado Springs, said today that a CDC-generated study found that homosexuals do not have a higher rate of illegal drug abuse than heterosexuals because they are the victims of discrimination. "Gay activists, while admitting that homosexuals are more likely to engage in illegal substance abuse, have long claimed that it was because of society’s rejection," Cameron noted. "This new study contradicts such a claim. Among other things, it demonstrates that Blacks - who have suffered greater discrimination -- if anything, are less apt than whites to engage in substance abuse."
The CDC national sexuality survey - the largest random sex survey in the history of the United States -- found gays and lesbians were about three times more apt to abuse illegal drugs. 41% of gays v. 13% of nongays and 21% of lesbians v. 9% of nonlesbians used illegal drugs last year. Almost half of those involved in prostitution (49%) and a fifth (19%) of those who ever regularly smoked also indulged.

The findings in regard to smoking were similar, with almost two-thirds of gays (65%) saying they either did or had regularly smoked. Not quite half of all adults (48%) had been or were regular smokers. About two-thirds of those involved in prostitution (67%) and illegal drug use (70%) also reported having regularly smoked.

"The claim of gay activists that ’discrimination’ drives them to use tobacco and drugs is disproved by the CDC study," Cameron said. "Blacks, who have been and are discriminated against, were less apt to have ever smoked (31%) than whites (49%) and about as apt to use illegal drugs (15% v. 13%). Homosexuals blame the rest of us for their problems. Blacks are still discriminated against in our society, but that does not lead them to greater substance abuse."

"a research organization based in Colorado Springs"

That's analagous to a peace movement based in the Pentagon.

Or a vegetarian movement based in a slaughterhouse.

"CDC-generated study"

Got context?

You have serious issues...

[FORD]

Dobson and his gang of trailer dwelling fuckheads don't DO research. They TWIST research.

And if the CDC is in the hands of a Chimp appointee, God only knows what kinds of lies they are spreading.

You're fucking babbling now...

I guess Jesus had "serious issues" as well then. Just imagine the horror of a world where people actually treated one another with respect and didn't invent hysteria based on skin pigmentation, sexual orientation, or whatever other irrelevant excuse they made up for their hatred.
