Throughout history, the major civilizations major religions condemned
homosexuality.1 Until 1961 homosexual acts were illegal throughout
America.

Gays claim that the "prevailing attitude toward homosexuals in the U.S.
and many other countries is revulsion and hostility....for acts and
desires not harmful to anyone."3 The American Psychological Association
and the American Public Health Association assured the U.S. Supreme
Court in 1986 that "no significant data show that engaging in...oral
and anal sex, results in mental or physical dysfunction."4
What Homosexuals Do

The major surveys on homosexual behavior are summarized below. Two
things stand out 1) homosexuals behave similarly world-over, and 2) as
Harvard Medical Professor, Dr. William Haseltine,33 noted in 1993, the
"changes in sexual behavior that have been reported to have occurred in
some groups have proved, for the most part, to be transient. For
example, bath houses and sex clubs in many cities have either reopened
or were never closed."
Homosexual Activities (in %)

(See original page for tables)

ORAL SEX Homosexuals fellate almost all of their sexual contacts (and
ingest semen from about half of these). Semen contains many of the
germs carried in the blood. Because of this, gays who practice oral sex
verge on consuming raw human blood, with all its medical risks. Since
the penis often has tiny lesions (and often will have been in
unsanitary places such as a rectum), individuals so involved may become
infected with hepatitis A or gonorrhea (and even HIV and hepatitis B).
Since many contacts occur between strangers (70% of gays estimated that
they had had sex only once with over half of their partners17,27), and
gays average somewhere between 106 and 1105 different partners/year,
the potential for infection is considerable.

RECTAL SEX Surveys indicate that about 90% of gays have engaged in
rectal intercourse, and about two-thirds do it regularly. In a 6-month
long study of daily sexual diaries,3 gays averaged 110 sex partners and
68 rectal encounters a year.

Rectal sex is dangerous. During rectal intercourse the rectum becomes a
mixing bowl for 1) saliva and its germs and/or an artificial lubricant,
2) the recipient's own feces, 3) whatever germs, infections or
substances the penis has on it, and 4) the seminal fluid of the
inserter. Since sperm readily penetrate the rectal wall (which is only
one cell thick) causing immunologic damage, and tearing or bruising of
the anal wall is very common during anal/penile sex, these substances
gain almost direct access to the blood stream. Unlike heterosexual
intercourse (in which sperm cannot penetrate the multilayered vagina
and no feces are present),7 rectal intercourse is probably the most
sexually efficient way to spread hepatitis B, HIV syphilis and a host
of other blood-borne diseases.

Tearing or ripping of the anal wall is especially likely with
"fisting," where the hand and arm is inserted into the rectum. It is
also common when "toys" are employed (homosexual lingo for objects
which are inserted into the rectum--bottles, carrots, even gerbils8).
The risk of contamination and/or having to wear a colostomy bag from
such "sport" is very real. Fisting was apparently so rare in Kinsey's
time that he didn't think to talk about it. By 1977, well over a third
of gays admitted to doing it. The rectum was not designed to
accommodate the fist, and those who do so can find themselves consigned
to diapers for life.

FECAL SEX About 80% of gays (see Table) admit to licking and/or
inserting their tongues into the anus of partners and thus ingesting
medically significant amounts of feces. Those who eat or wallow in it
are probably at even greater risk. In the diary study,5 70% of the gays
had engaged in this activity--half regularly over 6 months. Result? --
the "annual incidence of hepatitis A in...homosexual men was 22
percent, whereas no heterosexual men acquired hepatitis A." In 1992,26
it was noted that the proportion of London gays engaging in oral/anal
sex had not declined since 1984.

While the body has defenses against fecal germs, exposure to the fecal
discharge of dozens of strangers each year is extremely unhealthy.
Ingestion of human waste is the major route of contracting hepatitis A
and the enteric parasites collectively known as the Gay Bowel Syndrome.
Consumption of feces has also been implicated in the transmission of
typhoid fever,9 herpes, and cancer.27 About 10% of gays have eaten or
played with [e.g., enemas, wallowing in feces]. The San Francisco
Department of Public Health saw 75,000 patients per year, of whom 70 to
80 per cent are homosexual men....An average of 10 per cent of all
patients and asymptomatic contacts reported...because of positive fecal
samples or cultures for amoeba, giardia, and shigella infections were
employed as food handlers in public establishments; almost 5 per cent
of those with hepatitis A were similarly employed."10 In 1976, a rare
airborne scarlet fever broke out among gays and just missed sweeping
through San Francisco.10 The U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported
that 29% of the hepatitis A cases in Denver, 66% in New York, 50% in
San Francisco, 56% in Toronto, 42% in Montreal and 26% in Melbourne in
the first six months of 1991 were among gays.11 A 1982 study "suggested
that some transmission from the homosexual group to the general
population may have occurred."12

URINE SEX About 10% of Kinsey's gays reported having engaged in "golden
showers" [drinking or being splashed with urine]. In the largest survey
of gays ever conducted,13 23% admitted to urine-sex. In the largest
random survey of gays,6 29% reported urine-sex. In a San Francisco
study of 655 gays,14 only 24% claimed to have been monogamous in the
past year. Of these monogamous gays, 5% drank urine, 7% practiced
"fisting," 33% ingested feces via anal/oral contact, 53% swallowed
semen, and 59% received semen in their rectum during the previous month.
OTHER GAY SEX PRACTICES

SADOMASOCHISM as the Table indicates, a large minority of gays engage
in torture for sexual fun. Sex with minors 25% of white gays17 admitted
to sex with boys 16 or younger as adults. In a 9-state study,30 33% of
the 181 male, and 22% of the 18 female teachers caught molesting
students did so homosexually (though less than 3% of men and 2% of
women engage in homosexuality31). Depending on the study, the percent
of gays reporting sex in public restrooms ranged from 14%16 to 41%13 to
66%,6 9%16, 60%13 and 67%5 reported sex in gay baths; 64%16 and 90%18
said that they used illegal drugs.

Fear of AIDS may have reduced the volume of gay sex partners, but the
numbers are prodigious by any standard. Morin15 reported that 824 gays
had lowered their sex-rate from 70 different partners/yr. in 1982 to
50/yr. by 1984. McKusick14 reported declines from 76/yr. to 47/yr. in
1985. In Spain32 the average was 42/yr. in 1989.
Medical Consequences of Homosexual Sex

Death and disease accompany promiscuous and unsanitary sexual activity.
70%25 to 78%x,13 of gays reported having had a sexually transmitted
disease. The proportion with intestinal parasites (worms, flukes,
amoeba) ranged from 25%18 to 39%19 to 59%.20 As of 1992, 83% of U.S.
AIDS in whites had occurred in gays.21 The Seattle sexual diary study3?
reported that gays had, on a yearly average:

1. fellated 108 men and swallowed semen from 48;
2. exchanged saliva with 96;
3. experienced 68 penile penetrations of the anus; and
4. ingested fecal material from 19.

No wonder 10% came down with hepatitis B and 7% contracted hepatitis A
during the 6-month study.
Effects on the Lifespan

Smokers and drug addicts don't live as long as non-smokers or non-
addicts, so we consider smoking and narcotics abuse harmful. The
typical life-span of homosexuals suggests that their activities are
more destructive than smoking nd as dangerous as drugs.

Obituaries numbering 6,516 from 16 U.S. homosexual journals over the
past 12 years were compared to a large sample of obituaries from
regular newspapers.23 The obituaries from the regular newspapers were
similar to U.S. averages for longevity; the medium age of death of
married men was 75, and 80% of them died old (age 65 or older). For
unmarried or divorced men the median age of death was 57, and 32% of
them died old. Married women averaged age 79 at death; 85% died old.
Unmarried and divorced women averaged age 71, and 60% of them died old.

The median age of death for homosexuals, however, was virtually the
same nationwide--and, overall, less than 2% survived to old age. If
AIDS was the cause of death, the median age was 39. For the 829 gays
who died of something other than AIDS, the median age of death was 42,
and 9% died old. The 163 lesbians had a median age of death of 44, and
20% died old.

Two and eight-tenths percent (2.8%) of gays died violently. They were
116 times more apt to be murdered; 24 times more apt to commit suicide;
and had a traffic-accident death-rate 18 times the rate of comparably-
aged white males. Heart attacks, cancer and liver failure were
exceptionally common. Twenty percent of lesbians died of murder,
suicide, or accident--a rate 487 times higher than that of white
females aged 25-44. The age distribution of samples of homosexuals in
the scientific literature from 1989 to 1992 suggests a similarly
shortened life-span.
The Gay Legacy

Homosexuals rode into the dawn of sexual freedom and returned with a
plague that gives every indication of destroying most of them. Those
who treat AIDS patients are at great risk, not only from HIV infection,
which as of 1992 involved over 100 health care workers,21 but also from
TB and new strains of other diseases.24 Those who are housed with AIDS
patients are also at risk.24 Those who are housed with AIDS patients
are also at risk.24 Dr. Max Essex, chair of the Harvard AIDS Institute,
warned congress in 1992 that "AIDS has already led to other kinds of
dangerous epidemics...If AIDS is not eliminated, other new lethal
microbes will emerge, and neither safe sex nor drug free practices will
prevent them."28 At least 8, and perhaps as many as 30 29 patients had
been infected with HIV by health care workers as of 1992.
The Biological Swapmeet

The typical sexual practices of homosexuals are a medical horror story -
-imagine exchanging saliva, feces, semen and/or blood with dozens of
different men each year. Imagine drinking urine, ingesting feces and
experiencing rectal trauma on a regular basis. Often these encounters
occur while the participants are drunk, high, and/or in an orgy
setting. Further, many of them occur in extremely unsanitary places
(bathrooms, dirty peep shows), or, because homosexuals travel so
frequently, in other parts of the world.

Every year, a quarter or more of homosexuals visit another country.20
Fresh American germs get taken to Europe, Africa and Asia. And fresh
pathogens from these continents come here. Foreign homosexuals
regularly visit the U.S. and participate in this biological swapmeet.
The Pattern of Infection

Unfortunately the danger of these exchanges does not merely affect
homosexuals. Travelers carried so many tropical diseases to New York
City that it had to institute a tropical disease center, and gays
carried HIV from New York City to the rest of the world.27 Most of the
6,349 Americans who got AIDS from contaminated blood as of 1992,
received it from homosexuals and most of the women in California who
got AIDS through heterosexual activity got it from men who engaged in
homosexual behavior.23 The rare form of airborne scarlet fever that
stalked San Francisco in 1976 also started among homosexuals.10
Genuine Compassion

Society is legitimately concerned with health risks-- they impact our
taxes and everyone's chances of illness and injury. Because we care
about them, smokers are discouraged from smoking by higher insurance
premiums, taxes on cigarettes and bans against smoking in public. These
social pressures cause many to quit. They likewise encourage non-
smokers to stay non-smokers.

Homosexuals are sexually troubled people engaging in dangerous
activities. Because we care about them and those tempted to join them,
it is important that we neither encourage nor legitimize such a
destructive lifestyle.
