Gallup: Young Adults In The U.S. Think Gays Are 30% of Population

[ChaosControl]

Its more like 1-4%

Wow...the average person really has no fucking concept of anything. There's no way it can be more than 2-3%. The questions doesn't even include bisexual, which I'm sure makes up a bigger percentage than gay and lesbian.

It is funny to me to see how the gay movement in this country has been so flamboyantly overrepresented in every sphere of life. Most sheep buy into the gay propagandists. The sheep watch TV and see gays overrepresented and think they must be abundant everywhere.

It goes back to the humanistic Greeks, who were enamoured with all kinds of sexual abnormality. Socrates for example, extolled the virtues of pedophilia. The Greeks were also obsessed with hermaphrodites. In the old bath houses, hermaphroditic prostitutes were very sought after.

The further America slides spiritually, the more we will see the fascination and obsession with all forms of sexual abnormality.

I disagree here. It's at least 4%.

Wow...the average person really has no fucking concept of anything.

I wouldn't be so sure especially considering that being gay in the open is something that was penalized for thousands of years.

10%

(11% if we include closeted GOP politicians)

 

[Brian4Liberty]

for some reason i always believed is 1/10

10% is my guess too.

I'm guessing that this poll was taken in San Francisco.

I'm in the SF Bay Area. The interesting thing is that when people come here, they expect everyone to be gay. What they don't realize that there is a "gay" district (Castro) in SF that is mostly gay. That's it. The "gay" expectation doesn't even apply to all of SF, let alone surrounding communities. The percent of openly gay people may be higher than the Midwest, but all in all, not terribly different.

In popular society and media, there is an over-representation due to the desire to not leave anyone out. In movies and TV, they do portray a higher percentage than reality. And how can we forget the very popular trend for females to be bi or gay...

 

[ravedown]

this is the news generating a news story...its complete bullshit to get people talking. its junk science...any radio or tv station mentioning this fake poll is crap.

 

[Xenophage]

REAL gay people, or just fashionably gay people? I think REAL gay people constitute about 2% of the populace.

 

[Depressed Liberator]

Question:

WHO THE FUCK CARES? Let people choose their sexual orientation however they want. God damn.

 

[brandon]

According to this study done this year: 1.7% are gay or lesbian.

You mean not every female on earth is svelte and gorgeous?
Does this mean that high schoolers don't drive their convertibles to school around noon time, only to eat lunch, sit in one ten minute class, and then go home?
Come to think of it, I have several guns, and they don't audibly click every single time I point one at something.
And hey - even the wealthy people I know don't have living rooms as big as Roseanne's was, and she was supposed to be poor.

Huh. TV lies. Who would have thought.

It's all part of the propaganda machine.

Those 5% or whatever sure cause a lot of headache for the rest of us.

True, them gays do cause a lot of headache to us bigots. Why can't they just be abnormal like the rest of us.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Huh. TV lies. Who would have thought.

And Jack Bauer will save the world from imminent destruction by torturing and killing people. Yes, nothing but pure fantasy, except for the fact that many politicians, pundits, and couch potatoes refer to it as if it were reality.

The global elite promote homosexuality in order to induct people into their depraved system. Homosexuals see this promotion and feel that it is tolerance and in turn support the global elite. I got nothing against homosexual behavior, and I believe gays should be able to marry and adopt. But the elite promotes homosexuality and uses it as a weapon against the minds of free thinking people in order to corrupt them, and I oppose their sinister agenda with every fiber of my being.

How does homosexuality help the "global system", what is the "global system" and who the fuck runs it?

I disagree, I don't think there is anything sinister or objectively immoral about sticking it in a different hole for personal stimulation. Different people have different kicks is all. Besides, I think sex is still taken far too seriously in this society, and putting it up on an altar as the most intimate and sacred act between people is what leads to a lot of problems in human relations, particularly between the sexes.

Did you point your finger at 5 random strangers and say "Do you really think two of them are gays?"
