Is being gay bad
ARTICLE
The health effects of homosexual sexual behavior are many. The widespread, government, and judiciary are being conduct to believe that same-sex sexuality is a normal variant with interactions and results equivalent to heterosexual sexuality. However, this position runs contrary to professional literature and the track record of history.
By any repeatable measure, the percentage of the population identifying as homosexual, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender (GLBT) is small. The Combined States Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that men having sex with men (MSM) comprise approximately two percent of the population, or four percent of the U.S male population.1 The University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center has conducted surveys regarding homosexuality since the late 1980s and deems that approximately two percent of the U.S. population identifies as either gay, sapphic, or bisexual.2 The 2006-2008 National Survey of Family Maturation conducted by the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics found that among women ages 18 to 44, 3.5 percent identified as bisexual with 1.4 percent identifying as homosexual, gay, or lesbian.

What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality?
What Does The Bible Tell About Homosexuality?
Introduction
For the last two decades, Pew Explore Center has reported that one of the most enduring ethical issues across Christian traditions is sexual diversity. For many Christians, one of the most frequently first-asked questions on this topic is, “What does the Bible utter about attraction to someone of the same sex?”
Although its unlikely that the biblical authors had any notion of sexual orientation (for example, the legal title homosexual wasn't even coined until the late 19th century) for many people of faith, the Bible is looked to for timeless guidance on what it means to honor God with our lives; and this most certainly includes our sexuality.
Before we can jump into how it is that Christians can maintain the authority of the Bible and also affirm sexual diversity, it might be helpful if we started with a brief but clear overview of some of the assumptions informing many Christian approaches to understanding the Bible.

For Christians to whom the Bible is God’s very written word, it is widely understood that God produced its content
Is Being Male lover in the UK Seriously Bad for Your Health? A Review of Evidence
Evidence shows that, globally, people who identify as gay have higher health risks and poorer health outcomes than heterosexual people. In order to judge the health risks connected with being a same-sex attracted man in the UK and the impact sexual identity has upon health, an evidence review was conducted. Embase, Medline, PsychINFO, Cinahl and the Web of Science were searched for relevant studies in the English-language from 2000-2016. Further searches were also made from Mesmac, The Higgins Terrence Trust, The LGBT Foundation and Stonewall websites. The review considered all studies that committed gay men of all ages, races and social classes - with or without disabilities - in the UK and the health risks associated with being gay. The studies retrieved were evaluated for quality, leaving a total of 18 studies to be included in the review. Data were extracted and synthesized using a narrative approach. The review found that mental health problems, suicide and self-harm were higher than average amongst gay men in the UK, and that these issues were linked with the challenges and stress ex
About gay male sexuality
Many men state that they had experiences with people of the same sex when they were young. This is often a normal part of exploring their sexuality. Men who go on to detail themselves as ‘same-sex attracted’ or ‘gay’ have a strong physical and emotional attraction to men that they don’t usually sense for women.
Being a gay guy is natural
There is a lot of pressure from society for young men to be heterosexual or ‘straight’. This can often cause feelings of isolation for young men who are queer and make them scared to show their sexuality.
It’s crucial to remember:
- There are gay men in every culture and every country.
- Being gay is just a form of sexuality.
Why some men are gay
There is no actual explanation as to why some men are gay and others are not. Although there is no right or wrong address to the question, a achievable reason suggested by researchers is that we are born with our sexual orientation.
Knowing whether you’re gay
There is no test or questionnaire you can complete that will answer this question for you. If you think you might be gay, it’s essential that you:
- Don’t deny your feelings.
- Take your time to explore your sexuality
