If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Locker.

So last week a study came out that everybody was talking about, and I'm going to preface my little

observations about this study, my little mini rant, with, you know, this study has to be

replicated, small sample size, grains of salt, sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle.

But researchers at the University of Montreal gathered together a group of gays, bi, straights, lesbians, and they tested everyone for stress and depression.

And they expected that they would find that gay and bi guys were more stressed and more depressed than straight guys.

And they actually found the opposite that gay and bisexual men, and I'm quoting from reports about the study,

had lower depressive symptoms and allostatic load levels, a measure of body stress than heterosexual men.

Stephen Colbert on the Colbert report last week observed that this might be the case because gay guys don't have to deal with women and bitches be all crazy and shit.

Basically the implication.

But what about by guys, Stephen?

They have to deal with women and bitches be all crazy and shit.

So it can't be just the bitches be all crazy and shit thing.

And bitches don't be all crazy. I'm just making a joke. Don't be please all crazy about that joke, bitches. Andrew Sullivan and some others pointed out that the study found that it was only gay and by guys who were out to family and friends who had these lower levels of depression and lower levels in their systems of the stress hormone cortisol.

And everyone ran around saying, well, this is why we need to.

It's a public health matter.

We need to encourage gay and buy guys to be out.

But what about straight guys?

What's the solution for them?

They can't come out as gay or buy and then be less depressed and healthy, right?
