A recent study found that those in homosexual marriages die sooner than heterosexual couples

Christian Post
  • In Norway and Denmark – where same-sex marriage is legal – married lesbians lived to age 56 and married gay men to age 52 according to research by the Family Research Institute
  • A gay couple of 35 is as close to death as a married heterosexual couple of 55 according to the study
  • Divorce is twice as frequently among married homosexuals in Norway and Denmark [even more frequent if kids are involved].
  • In the study, Denmark, a country with the longest history of gay marriages, reportedly recorded that men in heterosexual marriages between the years 1990 and 2002 died at a median age of 74 while the 561 gay-partnered men documented a median age of death of 51.
  • In Norway, men married to women died at a median age of 77 while the gay-partnered men died at a median age of 52.
  • Denmark women married to men died at a median age of 78, compared to a median age of 56 for the 91 lesbians recorded.
  • Married women in Norway died at a median age of 81, compared to a median age of 56 years for the 6 lesbian partners.
