There have been multiple studies that have equated a homosexual lifestyle with a shorter life expectancy. This is undoubtedly due to the health risks associated, such as AIDS, Hepatitis, and a variety of other infections and STDs.

A 2005 study from pro-gay researchers who were trying defend homosexuals, in fact found that the life expectancy for homosexual men was 8 to 20 years lower than heterosexuals. [1]
