Original Note:
Misleading. This was a 1998 study of deaths during the AIDS crisis. Even so, it’s methodology has been strongly criticized for major flaws: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/1997/12/william-bennett-gays-and-the-truth.html Additional info: https://lgbpsychology.org/html/facts_cameron_obit.html A 2020 Swedish study found no difference in mortality between gays and straights, although higher in bisexuals: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666535220300318
