HOUSTON While the health disparity of LGBT people has been well
documented, bisexual men and women may have the poorest health of all
according to a new study from Rice University reported on by MedicalXpress
and other outlets.
A New Piece of the Puzzle: Sexual Orientation, Gender and Physical Health
Status will appear in an upcoming edition of Demography. The study examined
the self-rated health of 10,128 LGB adults and 405,145 straight adults to see how
it diered.
In addition to recording self-rated health information, the researchers
analyzed the participants lifestyle according to a number of factors that
traditionally impact health, including socio-economic status (including education
level, employment status, household income and access to health insurance),
health behaviors (smoker or nonsmoker, drinking habits, body mass index and
access to health care) and social support and well-being, the MedicalXpress
article said.
The study found that 19.5 percent of bisexual men and 18.5 percent of bi
women rated their health as poor or fair, the highest proportion among the
groups surveyed. In contrast, only 11.9 percent of men identifying as gay and
10.6 percent of women identifying as lesbian rated their health as poor or fair,
the lowest proportion of those surveyed. Health was also rated poor by 14.5
percent of straight men and 15.6 percent of straight women, the article said.
Across the groups surveyed, the researchers also found that bisexual men and
women are disproportionately disadvantaged on important social, economic
and behavioral factors strongly associated with health and well-being. For
example, bisexual men and women were the least likely of the three groups to
be college educated, researchers said.
Bisexual men and women were more likely to smoke (23.8 percent and 21.9
percent, respectively), compared with 14.9 percent of gay men, 16.6 percent
of lesbian women, 11.1 percent of heterosexual men and 8.3 percent of
heterosexual women, according to the study.

Making history
in Mississippi
The times are nally
changing in the Deep South
By BRANDIILYNE DEAR
Just south of the Mason-Dixon line
there is a place cemented in time welcome to Mississippi. This is where folks
wave as they pass by on the road, laws
protect the majestic magnolia trees,
and sweet tea is the house wine. Down
here people take pride in their heritage,
which includes, but is not limited to, their
younguns, their pick-up trucks and their
church. Although living in the Deep South
has its charms, there are giants in the
land that many continue to ght. Those
giants include discrimination, close mindedness and racism.
Religion, the mother of all giants, is
such an intricate part of the tapestry that
is the south. Many of us were raised on
a church pew and have been instructed
on the laws of God. These laws were very
clear, love God, respect your momma,
dont mix races, and homosexuality is the
unpardonable sin. Many of these laws
were never spoken aloud. They were just
understood as the laws of the land, the
foundation of southern heritage, and

After the initial thrill of winning marriage equality the question some are now
asking is, How has your world changed
since we won two weeks ago? The answer for many is not much.
There is no question seeing the White

high. Those who stood in front of the
Supreme Court the day the decision was
announced will surely never forget that
experience. Suddenly what we fought for

allowing equality at workplaces and recognizing same sex marriages performed

Finally the author talks about the treatment of the Palestinian people. While the
majority of Israelis recognize the need for
a two-state solution, the gay community

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN
OUT AND WHO WAS THE
HARDEST PERSON TO TELL?
Ive been out since I was 15. The hardest
person to tell was my mom, although it
wasnt hard at all. She loved me just the
same and is my best friend.
W H O S Y O U R L G B T H E R O ?
I really look up to Ed Bailey. He is one
of the owners of Town, Town Patio and
Number Nine. Ive learned so much from
him through the years and Ive watched
him start and support so many LGBT
causes. I admire how he always gives
back to our community.
WHATS WASHINGTONS
BEST NIGHTSPOT, PAST OR

Im a Nation kid. I loved that place,
everything about it. The foam parties,
Wess the DJ spinning in the Blue Room,
waiting to get stamped at the VIP room,
the gritty side of the gay city.

Sometimes you want to get away,
but life conspires against you work,
nances, whatever and you nd
yourself having to opt for a staycation.
No swim-up pool bar, no hula lessons, no
cabana boys. Sigh.
Buck up, loves, because theres still a way
to get a glimpse of the good life right here
in D.C., with tasty daily diversions that can
help remind you that theres a reason why
tourists come to our fair city in droves. Grab
your Panama hat and that day-glo Hawaiian
shirt in the back of the closet here are ve
ways to vacay each weekday, D.C.-style.

REALESTATE
will represent your best interests in the transaction. Although there is no financial commitment on your part, you may wish to wait to
sign these forms before you have had an opportunity to read them and ask questions, as
well as to go out on at least one viewing trip to
judge the compatibility between you and the
potential Realtor.
The average buyer looks at 12 properties
(3-4 viewing trips) before making an offer.
Once you find a property youd like to bid on,
you should strategize with your Realtor about
the most attractive offer you can make: How
much down payment can you offer? How
much earnest money (a deposit that accompanies the offer) can you put down? How
quickly can you close? What kinds of contingencies will you place on the offer? (For example, will you require a home inspection?)
You will also go back to your lender to get a
pre-approval letter with exactly your offering
price so that the seller doesnt see that you
could offer more.
Its pretty safe to say that in this market, the
contract wins with the biggest down payment
(especially all cash) and the fewest contingencies (especially none). Many homebuyers
are now performing a pre-offer inspection
to identify any problems with the property
before they make an offer, as well as to remove one of the most common contingencies
(home inspection) from the contract offer.
Congratulations, youve got a ratified contract offer signed by all parties! Now youve
got about another month of activities before
closing on your home:
Your agent should send your earnest
money and a copy of the ratified contract to
the title company specified in the contract to
begin the legal process of preparing title (ownership) transfer and to schedule an appointment for the closing day.
You will need to make formal loan application. This process is more detailed than the
pre-approval process.
You may need to have a home inspection
done if you didnt do so before making an offer. Make sure your inspector is licensed. You
and your agent will want to be present for this
inspection.
Your lender will order an appraisal to be
done on the property to make sure the contract price is justified by fair market value. Although you are paying for this appraisal, only
the sellers agent is typically present at the appraisal visit, but you will receive a copy of the
report when the lender does.
All of these activities are bound by deadlines
specified in the contract. (Time is of the essence, it says there.) Your agent should stay on
top of all these deadlines to make sure things
are flowing smoothly and in a timely manner.
Some additional players are also involved in
the final stages before closing:
