Do homosexual men have more claims because they are homosexual, or
because they tend to live an incredibly promiscuous lifestyle, which is
bad for their bodies?  Is it possible to single out the claims of
homosexuals in monogamous and commited relationships from those that are
promiscuous and compare each to their analogues in the heterosexual
sphere of life?  I'm not asking these questions retorically, by the way.
These are the sorts of numbers I'd like to see.  Insurance premiums are
an example of something I can see as a possible reason to put homosexual
relationships under a seperate heading.  Does the information I've asked
for exist in a form accessible to the public?
