Homosexual men have a high prevalence of child sexual abuse (CSA) in the United States, and it is suggested that CSA history is a risk factor for HIV infection in men who have sex with men (MSM). 27.3% of homosexual men reported a CSA history. Meta-analysis indicated that MSM with CSA history were more likely to be HIV positive and to engage in recent unprotected anal intercourse. They were also more likely to report frequent casual male partners, substance use, and sex while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

Anal sex is extremely dangerous as the female body can comprehend certain signals emitted by "immuno-regulatory macromolecules" found in seminal fluid. These signals allow for the intimate union necessary for human reproduction in the vagina. However, when these signals are received in other areas, i.e. the anus, they are not properly interpreted and can lead to the fusion of sperm with somatic body cells. This fusion often leads to the formation of cancerous malignancies.

It is known that LGBT persons generally have poorer mental health than normal people (if you don't know, you can see from the following sources). Apologists say this is due to discrimination, however, if this is true, then they have to prove that gays are discriminated against as much as the mental health statistics show. Since (as shown by the following sources), the rate of discrimination does not match the higher rate of poor mental health, the association between their mental health conditions and homosexuality are an indication of it (i.e. homosexuality) being a mental illness.
In Sweden, a country with extremely tolerant climate for homosexuality, married gays have 3 times higher suicide rates and are significantly more depressed, even after adjusting for socioeconomic status, also after adjusting for HIV status

Compared to heterosexuals, LGBT individuals have significantly poorer mental health (higher levels of psychological distress, greater likelihood of having a mental disorder diagnosis), more substance use, etc, and adjusting for sociodemographic variables or adjusting for discrimination DOES NOT account for these mental health disparities between heterosexual and LGBT persons, meaning discrimination isn’t causing it.

Study comparing homosexual twin to their heterosexual twin found that:
Same-gender sexual orientation is significantly associated with each of the suicidality measures.
Homosexual to heterosexual twins matched-pair odds ratios are following: 2.4 for thoughts about death; 4.4 for wanted to die; 4.1 for suicidal ideation; 6.5 for attempted suicide; and 5.1 for any of the suicidal symptoms.
After adjustment for substance abuse and depressive symptoms (other than suicidality), all of the suicidality measures remain significantly associated with same-gender sexual orientation except for wanting to die.

An experiment called "universe 25" had a group of rodents isolated in a box with everything they needed (food, water, etc.) except open space. This caused many abnormal behaviours which would result in the death of the rodents. One of said abnormal behaviours was intentional homosexuality, suggesting homosexuality may very well precede and cause the end of the human race like it did for the rodents. This could also mean that homosexuality is related to other destructive behaviours displayed by the rats like cannibalism and females abandoning their young as they were both caused by the same thing.

Data shows that parents can cause homosexuality in their sons.
"Notably, the combination of overconcernedness of the mother and detachment & hypercriticism of the father push the boy into avoidance of "masculine" behaviour, [...] leading to a feeling of inferiority because the boy considers himself as lacking in manliness. The homosexual urge is an expression of an infantile longing for acceptance to counteract the loneliness and self-pity of not belonging, and must be seen as a specific neurotic manifestation."

Children who experience parental divorce are less likely to marry heterosexually than those growing up in intact families.
Persons born in the capital area are significantly less likely to marry heterosexually, but more likely to marry homosexually, than their rural-born peers.
Heterosexual marriage is significantly linked to having young parents and small age differences between parents.
For men, homosexual marriage is associated with having older mothers, divorced parents, absent fathers, and being the youngest child.
For women, maternal death during adolescence and being the only or youngest child or the only girl in the family increases the likelihood of homosexual marriage.

Dr. Riittakerrtu Kaltiala is a Finnish trained adolescent psychiatrist and is a pioneer of ‘Gender affirming care’ as she was one of the first physicians to head a clinic for ‘gender-distressed young people.’ She claims that from experience, GAC has caused much more harm than good for Adolescents. “Sometimes the young people insisted their lives had improved and they were happier. But as a medical doctor, I could see that they were doing worse. They were withdrawing from all social activities. They were not making friends. They were not going to school.”

"Studies presenting the benefits (of sex reassignment through medical intervention) to mental health, including those claiming that the services prevent suicide, are either low or very low quality and rely on unreliable methods such as surveys and retrospective analyses, both of which are cross-sectional and highly biased. Considering the weak evidence supporting the use of puberty suppression, cross-sex hormones, and surgical procedures when compared to the stronger research demonstrating the permanent effects they cause, these treatments do not conform to GAPMS (Generally Accepted Professional Medical Standards) and are experimental and investigational."

“Gender-Affirming” Surgery Leaves People Lonelier and Depressed, Study by Transgender Surgery Department Chairman Finds
"The FDA also recently added a warning to its label that the "gender affirming" drugs can cause a dangerous swelling of the brain. Kuitenbrouwer and Vasterman also note concerns that the treatment can "interfere with the ability to make rational decisions."
A pharmaceutical company that marketed triptorelin as a puberty blocker funded the original study that led to 'gender-affirming care' for minors https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0092623X.2022.2121238?ref=upward.news

Public services offering gender-affirming care to minors have rapidly expanded across Australia despite limited evidence of safety and efficacy. In Queensland, the number of gender services increased from 190 in 2017 to 922 in 2022, and in Victoria, it went from 472 in 2019 to 1290 in 2023. For Queensland, that is a 485% increase within those 5 years, and for Victoria, that is a 273% increase within those 4 years.
“The central principle of the gender-affirming model of care (GAMOC) is that all health clinicians have an ethical responsibility not to question or evaluate patient reported gender identity, even when that identity is unstable, changes rapidly, and is co-morbid with severe mental illness.”

Pressured parents were more likely to believe their children had deteriorated in some way after transition.

The European Society of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (ESCAP) published a policy statement on child and adolescent gender dysphoria. Healthcare providers must not promote experimental and invasive treatments, such as transition surgery, with unproven psycho-social effects and must adhere to the “first, do no harm” principle. The poor reliability and instability of a gender dysphoria diagnosis in a child is why blocking puberty would have negative effects on the child’s psychosocial development. They also mention that some children may benefit from gender reassignment, however there is a lack of quality research to determine the risk-benefit ratio
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00787-024-02440-8
Gender medicine for children and young people is built on shaky foundations.
“The rationale for early puberty suppression remains unclear, with weak evidence regarding the impact on gender dysphoria and mental or psychosocial health. The effect on cognitive and psychosexual development remains unknown.”
“The use of masculinising/feminising hormones in those under the age of 18 also presents many unknowns, despite their long standing use in the adult transgender population.”

This study assessed how adolescent development progresses and psychiatric symptoms develop among transsexual adolescents after starting cross-sex hormone treatment and found that those who did well in terms of psychiatric symptoms and functioning before cross-sex hormones mainly did well in real life. Those who had psychiatric treatment needs or problems in school, peer relationships and managing everyday matters outside of home continued to have problems in real life. Medical gender reassignment is not enough to improve functioning and relieve psychiatric comorbidities among adolescents with gender dysphoria.

This study examined 13 male-to-female and 4 female-to-male transsexuals in a follow-up (5-20 years after the operation).
The quality of life of the 13 MTF transsexuals had significantly deteriorated. 9 depend on social welfare, 8 report being unable to experience sexual pleasure, 10 suffer from anxieties, depression or addictions, 3 regret the operation and 2 had a second operation for restoration of the original state.
The 4 FTM transsexuals showed slightly better results with only 2 suffering from depression and problems of addiction.

The present article describes five biological men who have been observed in their roles as women for a period of 6 to 12 years since undergoing a complete sex change. In none of the cases were their great expectations fulfilled. Negative effects of the treatment comprised not only of somatic, sexual, and social complications but above all, psychologic difficulties such as indirect regret and suicidal thoughts. In light of the patients' postoperative life situations, sex change treatment appears almost counterproductive, since the definitive surgical treatment they underwent fixated the patients in a defensive position, which prevented the natural maturity and development of their own personality into a “true self”. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3109/08039489409084964

“Feeding rabbits with mycelium from Fusarium roseum is shown to produce infertility, the disappearance of aggressivity, and homosexual behaviour in males, while the effect of the females is only infertility. This mycelium contains the mycotoxin zearalenon which has effects similar to those of the female hormone.”
This fungus is consumed by both animals and humans and may possibly be a factor in increasing homosexuality among humans as well.
"It cannot be ruled out that an increased growth of fungus, due to artificial fertilisation, which then can be demonstrated to be found in food and consumed, can be a factor which increases the incidence of homosexual behavior in people."
