Homosexual Acts Defy Design of the Body,
Immunological Journal Finds

By Frank York

June 9, 2004 -- Susan Brinkmann, an investigative journalist, is currently writing a six-part series on homosexuality called "Homosexuality: The Untold Story - A Dangerous New Diversity," for the Catholic Standard & Times, the Archdiocese newspaper of Philadelphia.

In Part 3 of her series on the health consequences of homosexual behavior, Brinkmann writes: "The American public has been left largely in the dark about the extent of the medical problems associated with homosexual activity because of the influence of pro-homosexual political agendas. Some even believe they are being 'compassionate' by not disclosing vital health information for fear of offending homosexuals."

The facts, however, tell a disturbing story about the dangers of homosexual behavior. Brinkmann points out the following:

  • A 1997 New York Times article reported that a young male homosexual has about a 50% chance of getting HIV by middle age.
  • By 1998, 54% of all AIDS cases in America were homosexual men and 90% of these men acquired HIV through sexual activity.
  • The life expectancy for homosexual males is from eight to 20 years less compared to heterosexual males.
  • The risk of getting anal cancer soars by 4000% in those who engage in anal intercourse.
Brinkmann also notes that a high number of homosexuals appear to have been molested as children compared to the general population. In one study, the American Journal of Public Health found that 39% of males who have same-sex attraction had been abused by homosexual men.

The author notes that from "an immunological point of view, the body itself considers homosexual acts to be disordered. For instance, there are substances in seminal fluid called 'immuno-regulatory macromolecule' that send out 'signals' that are only understood by the female body, which will then permit the 'two in one flesh' intimacy required for human reproduction. When deposited elsewhere, these signals are not only misunderstood, but cause sperm to fuse with whatever somatic body cell they encounter. This fusing is what often results in the development of cancerous malignancies. (See "Sexual Behavior and Increased Anal Cancer," Immunology and Cell Biology 75 (1977); 181-183.)
