http://www.sfgate.com/technology/businessinsider/article/Homophobic-People-Die-Earlier-5252503.phpPeople who espouse anti-gay views die younger than those who don't, found a sure-to-be-controversial study in the February issue of the American Journal of Public Health.
"Anti-gay prejudice is associated with elevated mortality risk among heterosexuals, over and above multiple established risk factors for mortality," wrote the researchers, led by Mark L. Hatzenbuehler of Columbia University....
Anger is an integral part of anti-gay prejudice, especially among heterosexual men. "Physiological changes associated with anger, such as increased cardiac responses, have been linked to the development of hypertension and to coronary heart disease," wrote the authors.
In other words: People who get angry every time they see a gay wedding in the newspaper or a same-sex couple at the grocery store may actually have a higher risk of heart disease.

for an early demise. It can't come soon enough. I only hope it happens while he's on the air.
