I didn’t try to connect anyone. I was pointing out your ubiquitous use of the word minority.
and you tried to deny LGBT people are not minorities by dragging pedophiles in. So just what were you disagreeing with there?

Not what your link says.
Yes. It is what my link says:
Research has found that people who identify as lesbian or gay are more than twice as likely as people who identify as heterosexual to abuse alcohol or tobacco. And people who identify as bisexual are three times as likely.9

Also, some evidence suggests that transgender people are 2.5 times more likely to use drugs like methamphetamines and cocaine than cisgender people

And how does discrimination from medical professionals impact this?
Not one little bit. Your victim mentality is in denial of the reason homosexuals ACQUIRE cancer at greater rates.

You will feel better in life when you start taking a little responsibility rather than embrace infantilism of always being the victim of circumstance.

And the researchers go on to cite that sexual minority females are twice as likely to be uninsured and significant numbers report being turned away by doctors.
Right! That's because it is inherently a mental illness and they lack the capacity to live responsibly.

You cannot have it both ways! You cannot claim EQUALITY and then want accomodation for being a victim. Pick one:
  1. Homosexuality is behavior that inherently leads to death and is wrong.
  2. Homosexuals embrace a socially irresponsible lifestyle, unable to pay there own healthcare bills and is wrong.

and yes @Behold that's where we're headed.

There is no stopping it.
We are in the end times and one of the ultimate "signs" that is proclaiming with a TRUMPET... that God is about to "wrap up" the "time of the Gentiles" is = as in the days of Noah".

Noah, looked out the window of the Ark, and it was Sodom and Gomorrah, world-wide, as the rain came down to deal with it.

Look outside our window.

Gay
Pride
Gay marriage
Gay Adoption
Gays in the Pulpit
Gay Teachers teaching our Kids how to "choose gay /transgender for themselves" when they are not even 8 yrs old.
Gay rights
Transgenders, who are all Gay.

Noah would tell us... "Yeah... i've seen that before".....

That's a "biblical reality".

Thank God we have our ARK, that is the Cross of Christ.

Yes, the article did say trans are more violent and many other sources do as well.
no, your link says: "A mounting body of evidence shows that transgender people experience higher rates of violence than other groups."
Activists promote the belief that transgender people i.e. those who falsify their sex, are victims of frequent violence and are an oppressed, persecuted social group. However, statistics give a very different picture. Transgender people are no more likely to be murdered or attacked than the rest of the population. In fact, they are far more likely to carry out violent crimes, including murder. Some of the worst serial killers in criminal history have been transgenders.
a wiki page for alt-right conspiracy fans....yeah that is gonna be accurate.

Lets see your link claims "A mounting body of evidence shows that transgender people experience higher rates of violence than other groups." and as evidence cites 2016 Crime Statistics Released Which doesn't mention transgender at all.

IF LGBT individuals are so horrible....why does the right have to lie about them?

Your victim card has been declined. Homosexuality IS a mental illness per the 1973 APA.
and was removed form the DSM manual when no one could provide any evidence that it was a mental illness. and 50 years later still no evidence.
By definition, they have more mental health problems than other groups.
because they have to dela with people like you

If I deny that LGBTQ people are NOT minorities then I would be in agreement with you. Please read your posts before you reply. I disagree that LGBTQ people are an ethnic, racial or religious group, they are not so I don’t recognize them as a minority like black and indigenous people and other people of color and some religious groups.

Correct. Hence, my statement was correct. Homosexuals die younger than others. Why do you trivialize death do to ones behavior?
and what else did the study say? "We found no evidence of differential mortality risk for sexual minority males compared with non-sexual-minority"

And the researchers go on to cite that sexual minority females are twice as likely to be uninsured and significant numbers report being turned away by doctors."

That sure would affect mortality

Not according to anything you posted. Again if LGBT people are so terrible why do you have to lie about them?

But they are a cultural minority. why did you leave that part of the definition of minorities out?

I don’t think LGBTQ people are horrible. Their lifestyle is contrary to my religion but that doesn’t mean I should treat them any different than anyone else. I respect their right to live as they choose but I don’t want their agenda rammed down my throat and I don’t want it taught to children who are too young for such material. LGBTQ people can live however they choose that’s their right and it’s my right to disagree with them.
