The authors of this paper argue that the ‘footprint’ or statistical profile and demographic impact of the homosexuals are inaccurate because of irregularities in government data collection. They charge that the Canadian, British and American governments failed to sample or report on those aged 60 years of age and older when releasing statistics on homosexuality. The researchers contend that this omission has produced inflated statistics about the prevalence of homosexuality while obscuring the apparent early death of those engaged in homosexuality.
