Study: Gay Marriage Could Save Lives

[green73]

OoooooK

DETROIT (WWJ) Is living together bad for a gay couple’s health? It could be, according to a new study in the “Journal of Health and Social Behavior.”

A study by Michigan State University sociologist Hui Liu found same-sex couples who live together experience poorer health than married people of different sex.

“If you compare with different sex married people, the same-sex people have worse health … no matter which risk group you talk about,” Liu said.

She added the odds of gay men living together reporting poor health was 61 percent higher than their married male counterparts. For gay women, it was 46 percent.

What’s the takeaway? It’s not whether someone is gay that matters, Liu said, it’s whether they’re married. Married people report better health overall.

“Legalization of same-sex marriage may promote the health of same-sex couples,” Liu said.

Yes, a piece of paper from the State will fix everything.

 

[Seraphim]

What the fuck? Whoever wrote/published that must have an IQ well below 90.

Ms. Liu - you are a retard.

Saw Detroit and stopped reading...

LOL. I sincerely hope my tax dollars didn't pay for this study. So the author of the study didn't even consider including gay people in states where gay marriage was legal to compare their health with gay people who weren't married? That would be a valid study. This is garbage.

Edit: Also they could have compared straight people who were married with straight people who were shacking. That is if they wanted to do real science as opposed to promoting propaganda.

Small wonder only 6% trust the media.

Go through the article's comments. They're positively brutalizing Liu's acedemic rigor...

LOL

"What part of me can I place into the stool of another person and not have it go poorly for my health? I suspect NO PART of me, let alone THAT part of me."

Get married, and all of the health risks go away...duh.

 

[FSP-Rebel]

So out of touch. Stuck in an ivory tower and totally severed from the rash of problems the average person faces yet she's focused on this.

Supporting gay marriage is one thing, but don't make crap up to try and get others to support it as well.

Gay marriage could also cure cancer and make Santa give presents year-round.

Which is why sex, in the future, will be facilitated through computer simulations only.

Exchange of bodily fluids will be strictly prohibited without prior government permission, and under close medical supervision.

How is that not ideal, Comrade?

 

[compromise]

Why not just get government out of marriage altogether?

 

[fisharmor]

Heh, apparently no matter what the context, Santorum is bad for you.

Demolition man?

I still worry over the 3 sea shells.

Didn't you read the study? Without government approved marriage people will (gasp) die!

Bingo.

That are cars that turn into giant cannolis when you wreck.

Zamyatin prophesized that people would have to get pink coupons from the One State in order to close the blinds long enough to have sex. (the rest of the time, the living spaces were entirely transparent-who needs privacy when the Great Benefactor is in charge?)

As long as it doesn't save my life!
