Why being straight is unhealthy

"A former interim leader of the Conservative Party has resurfaced at the helm of a national campaign against gay marriage. And Dr. Grant Hill isn't backing down from views that once branded him as homophobic. He says he'll spread his message at the pivotal Conservative policy convention this week as the party tries to cast itself as election-ready."

So much for the Tories hoping for a nice, non controversial meeting! The story continues: "Hill... says few people are willing to risk being criticized by stating what he says is scientifically obvious: that the homosexual lifestyle includes 'distinct health negatives;' that those with an 'unwanted sexual preference' can choose to change it; and that children do best when raised by straight couples. 'My position is based on science, on social science, my experience as a doctor and all the data and literature that I review in a scientific way... Every single [piece of] data says that marriage between a man and a woman is the best environment to raise children.'"

Asked about the homosexual lifestyle's "distinct health negatives," Hill cited AIDS as an almost exclusively gay disease.

Anyone want to take a shot at listing heterosexual "distinct health negatives"? There are quite a few, methinks.

The queer e-lists and chat areas are full of homos making fun of Dr. Grant Hill for his obsession with gay diseases. Hill goes on about "gay bowel syndrome," for example. It did indeed exist as a "disease" <http://www.gmax.co.za/think/health/2004/041221-gbs.html >at one time -- and has since been deleted from medical textbooks. But certainly there are possible health consequences to having a penis stuck in your bum -- whether you're a gay bottom or a straight women. Just as there are possible health consequences to sticking a penis into a vagina. Or whatever.<br><br>
While arguing against the Dr. Hills of the world, let's make sure we're not willfully ignoring, or denying, our own health care needs.

Hmmm... it strikes me that a healthy and adventurous heterosexual relationship should exhibit all of the "distinct health negatives" of both gay and lesbian relationships. With of course the special bonus of unwanted pregancy.

'Course it seems unlikely that Grant ever made it past the missionary position.
