Rates and predictors of mental illness in gay men,
lesbians and bisexual men and women

Results from a survey based in England and Wales

JAMES WARNER et al.

Background There is a dearth of research into the mental health of gay men, lesbians and bisexual men and women in the UK.

Aims To assess rates and possible predictors of mental illness in these groups.

Method A comprehensive assessment was made of the psychological and social well-being of a sample of gay men, lesbians and bisexual men and women, identified using ‘snowball’ sampling.

Results Of the 1285 gay, lesbian and bisexual respondents who took part, 556 (43%) had mental disorder as defined by the revised Clinical Interview Schedule (CIS - R). Out of the whole sample, 361 (31%) had attempted suicide. This was associated with markers of discrimination such as recent physical attack (OR=1.7, 95% CI 1.3-2.3) and school bullying (OR=1.4, 95% CI 1.1-2.0), but not with higher scores on the CIS-R.

Conclusions Gay, lesbian and bisexual men and women have high levels of mental disorder, possibly linked with discrimination.

..or maybe even caused by natural circumstances, deceiving the traits of natural disarrangements, indeedly seen with Homosexuals.

[Dr. Solar Wolff]

This is one reason homosexuals were traditionally excluded from goverment, military and corporate employment. Said another way, they are unreliable.

I doubt anyone would accuse Frederick the Great of Prussia(gay) of being unreliable, or snub their nose at the intelligence and success of Queen Christina of Sweden(lesbian) who sent her nation into mourning while abdicating the thrown and who was buried with full honors in St. Peter's Basilica!!

Such "orientation" is result of some psychological disorder. However, having a psychological disorder does not automatically preclude anyone from great achievements in life.

And vice versa, not having psychological disorders does not automatically preclude anyone from great failures in life.

Those are speculations by retorted minds (often of homosexuals) who make bizarre and distorted analyses of a few passages of the life of the victim (here Frederick the Great), which pro-homosexuals pretend that they should be taken as absolute truths.

Some of them have speculated that Frederick the Great was homosexual. Others, that he was bisexual. And yet others, that he was asexual. But you see? No matter how speculative these claims are, based on perhaps some innocent passages of his life or words that he wrote, we must assume that he was a homosexual.

Pathetic homosexualism.
