PHILADELPHIA,
Mar. 23
/Christian Newswire/ -- According to two researchers, the
largest random sex survey ever conducted has reported that
only 1.4% of adults engaged in homosexual behavior.
Analyzing a 2003 Canadian Community survey of 121,300
adults, Drs. Paul and Kirk Cameron told attendees of the
Eastern Psychological Association Convention that 2% of
18- 44 year olds, 1% of 50 year olds, and only a third of
a percent of subjects 60+ considered themselves
homosexual. Thus homosexual activity was much more
common among younger adults.
What happened to the older homosexuals? "Some may have
ceased to be sexually active," said Paul Cameron, "or they
may have died. Recent reports from Scandinavia indicate
that the life expectancy of homosexuals is 20+ years
shorter than that of heterosexuals."
Among other questions (read to respondent by interviewer),
the Canadian study asked:
"Do you consider yourself to be: heterosexual? (sexual
relations with people of the opposite sex)/ homosexual,
that is lesbian or gay? (sexual relations with people of
your own sex)/ bisexual? (sexual relations with people of
both sexes)."
"No one can say that this statistic is 'the bedrock
truth,'" Paul Cameron said, "but even with attempts to
increase the percentage of active homosexuals – which
Statistics Canada appears to have done by reporting
only the results of those under the age of 60 – the 1.4%
is a figure that has to be taken very seriously.
"The US government survey of 12, 381 adults in 1996,
reported that 1.3% of men and 1.1% of women under the age
of 60 said they'd had homosexual sex in the last 12
months. It also found few older homosexuals. The oldest
male who engaged in homosexuality was 54 and the oldest
female+ 49. So it appears that homosexuality is a young
person's activity – one that may contribute to an early
death."
Paul Cameron, Ph.D. & Kirk Cameron, Ph.D., presented
"Federal Distortion Of The Homosexual Footprint." Paul
Cameron, a reviewer for the British Medical Journal,
the Canadian Medical Association Journal, and the
Postgraduate Medical Journal, has published over 40
scientific articles on homosexuality. The EPA is the
oldest regional Psychological Association in the United
States. At its Philadelphia convention members presented
the latest advances in scientific work to colleagues.
