Former U of Nebraska Prof. Paul Cameron says astronaut Sally Ride died early because she fit "pattern" of lesbian deaths

Below: Anti-Gay Paul Cameron Admits Attraction to Men, Says Obama is Gay, Gays Will Rape All Boys

Via Right Wing Watch comes another provocative accusation from Paul Cameron's "Family Research Institute" —  backed up by a report that you can have for just $10 — saying that the astronaut's death fits a  "consistent pattern suggesting that homosexuality is associated with an early demise."

Our latest research into recent homosexual obituaries from San Francisco indicates that lesbians are dying on average around 60ish. Ride fits the pattern of lesbian deaths, but not that of married women’s deaths, which usually extend into the early-to-mid 80s.

Junk social science entrepreneur Cameron's "studies" of gay people dying, on average, 20-30 years earlier than average are widely quoted by antigay activists and have been thoroughly debunked.
     According to Wikipedia, in 1983, the American Psychological Association expelled Cameron for non-cooperation with an ethics investigation, although by his own account he had resigned from the organization the previous year. Position statements issued by the American Sociological Association and Canadian Psychological Association have accused Cameron of misrepresenting social science research. More Wiki excerpts:

In 1979, Cameron became an associate professor of Marriage and Family at the University of Nebraska.
     In 1980, Cameron left the university of Nebraska taking  up private practice as a psychologist in Lincoln, Nebraska. In 1982, when the Lincoln city council asked residents to vote on a proposal to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, Cameron led the opposition as chairman of the Committee to Oppose Special Rights for Homosexuals.
     During the campaign in Lincoln, Cameron delivered a speech at the University of Nebraska Lutheran chapel. This drew much attention after he stated that a four-year-old boy had suffered a brutal homosexual assault in a local mall. Police were unable to confirm the incident, and Cameron acknowledged that he had heard the story only as a rumor. On May 11, Lincoln voters rejected the proposed measure by a 4–1 margin.
     Cameron claims to have been molested by a male at 4 years of age, and having a "much more positive experience" with a female a year later.
     He also claims to have been starting feeling sexual attraction to men at three years of age (but that he became heterosexual at 8-9 years of age).
     Cameron was quoted in Rolling Stone as saying that homosexual sex was more pleasurable than most heterosexual sex, and as a result, if homosexuality were tolerated then it would become predominant within a few generations.
