in a way your right in other ways your not right. I am gay and I have a boyfriend and I know that I am a true gay born and raised, I tried my hardest to like girls and it didn't work, although lots of people think your identity is straight it's always hard sometimes to tell if someone is gay or not. United states some states are more open about gayness and more people will flaunt it and you can tell who is gay or not, some states it's hard to tell who is gay and who isnt that's why it's sometimes fun to guess if the person is or isn't, I will tell you my gaydar is not the greatest. You will always have guys that will bash you for it. Males are more dominant and every male in this world wants to be in control, some like to explore but that doesn't mean there gay if they can't be comfortable around a women which I wasn't then there gay.

You must be Tipsy if you think more people are "becoming" gay. It's nothing of the sort. All it is, is that gay people are no longer fearful of being who they are and as such are simply being more honest about it. I always find it ironic when people make these kinds of statements, on the one hand people used to say there weren't many gays because they didn't know any or heard of any, it was like a myth the we even existed. Now the complaint is, we're everywhere. Well my friend, we've always been here it's just now, we don't take any crap from society and we are standing on our own.
I end with this statement and hopefully you will understand:
I demand respect from others, of this there is no quarter, I will demand of you nothing more, but neither will I accept anything less.

You are welcome to think whatever you want. However, serious researchers have known for decades that homosexuals comprise about 10% of the population. Now people are coming out. It's up to about 4 to 5% out now -- which means there are about as many people closeted (hiding their sexuality) as there are open about it. That matches my personal experience with friends.
A person is gay if they are married and have children but hate sex with their wife and prefer other males, in my opinion -- I know several people like that. The marriage and the pretending does not make them straight -- but it is expected in some cultures and is even prevalent here in the US. I have a friend who, when we were young I never suspected was gay. After he was married with 2 kids he made a pass at me (I've been out since my early teens). I was stunned. He admitted then that he was always gay, but he had to please his "mom and the church" -- but now, having kids so everyone would think he was straight, he and his wife had stopped having sex (they haven't had sex in 15 years at this point), she didn't like sex, so that was ok. He started looking for male partners (without her knowledge). I did not sleep with him, but he found another friend, from the same church in the same position -- and they have had sex regularly for many years now. I think I'm one of the only people that they have told. Are they gay? Since they still maintain the fiction of mariages, which they knew were fictions when they started, and since they would deny that they were gay, some people would say no. I on the other hand would say yes, the reality matters, not the illusion.
There are no more gay people now than there were -- but more are living as what they are -- not living sad lies like the one I mention above. I rather hope that all the gay people will eventually come out so that we can have a world where no one is living a lie, and no one is the victim of one. (a lie -- I think the women in those marriages are victims, even if they do dislike sex and therefore don't notice that their husbands don't want sex with them). That world however will reveal twice as many gays as you see now -- in every culture, every faith tradition and every segment of society -- just as it has always actually been.
Kind thoughts,

No, there aren't more people becoming gay or lesbian. As the population rises so do the numbers of Gays and lesbians but the percentages remain about the same. The only difference is that there are more people willing to experiment sexually but that does not make them homosexual. Homosexuality involves liking the same sex exclusively.

AHH, don't worry, being gay is just a fad. The fake ones will get tired of it and go back to being what they were really meant to be, whatever THAT is. The true gay, like myself will stick around for all of the bashing and name calling. The accusations and blame. Then when we get old we'll sit around and tell stories so the younger gays can start a whole new fad, whatever THAT will be.

There are no more gays and lesbians than there have been in the past, they are just more open about it. Also many people have the occasional fling with the same sex without being gay or lesbian and do not consider it to be wrong or abnormal.

Wake up. No one becomes gay or lesbian, they simply are. In a more accepting society, more people are free to behave as they were constructed and not hide behind a veil of heterosexuality - so as to not be detected and ostracised.

Yes, that is right. Its because of our society and culture. Now evryone get divorced and people realise -after a disappointing of the other gender - that actually they are gay/lesbian.
In fact not evryone who has partner from the same gender is gay. There is difference. I cant tell you more details, ask a professional.

times have changed and so do thinking, perference and "calculated" risk taking?
its ok to go for what one likes and prefers and we're more open and adaptable now?
its not how any people are turning to such but we're just being open and readily admit . . .

Yeah... there's something in the water... NOT!!
It's not that there are more of us, it's that we're now more able to be open about it. We don't get burned at the stake anymore.
