you've made some undesirable assumptions: If purely one % "perceive" themselves as gay, comprehend that there are a mess who do not perceive themselves via concern of reprisal, discrimination, etc. extra, there are extra heterosexual human beings demise today of AIDS than homosexuals so in the experience that your assumption is ideal, instantly human beings should be declining. regrettably, in Africa, there are countless places/international locations the position the inhabitants is being destroyed because of STDs and AIDS. finally, in accordance to the dep. of Human facilities, there are a higher share of instantly young children that commit suicide in line with relationship topics than gay relationships, often after the breakup between "instantly" youngster couples. i do not imagine there's a valid study interior the international that ought to help the information you're featuring as having come from Glove and Mail as being a real representation of inhabitants breakdowns. i wish that you at the instantaneous are not putting an outstanding deal of validity on your actuality inspite of the actual shown actuality that i'd agree that there is 10% of the inhabitants that are "liberal lefty loonies" yet that doesn't equate to gay...

That website is crap.
That being said, the 2-3% doesn't take into account those that are closeted. It also doesn't take into account certain areas where the gay population is substantially higher than even 10% (such as San Francisco and Berlin), which is generally in places with a higher overall population. Therefore, if evened out... 10% *may* be stretching it a little (though maybe not), but its certainly higher than 2-3%.

Actually the quantitative research study that proves that homosexuality is at LEAST ten percent of the US population was formulated in 1948 by Dr. Alfred Kinsey, of Indiana University. His 1948 publication "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male" was one of the first recorded works where actual scientific research methods addressed sexual behavior and orientation. He later followed suit with his 1953 study on females.
Since then, many do believe the numbers to be higher. The APA (American Psychological Association) declared well over thirty years ago, that homosexual men and women were not mentally ill, but largely sane and productive members of society. The seventies saw a huge insurgence of men and women "coming out of the closet" with the famous Stonewall Riots in Greenwich Village. Gay men and women have been fighting for civil rights ever since.
I hope this helps,and answers your question. There is tons of information on Alfred Kinsey on the web. I believe they even did a fairly accurate movie on his life several years ago.

You're actually right about one thing--gays make up about about two or three percent of the population. However, everything else on that website is a load of crap. I highly doubt that the median number of sex partners is 38 per year. Get real.
And 60 percent have rimmed? That sounds a little high, r-tard.
Face it, your source is crawling with bias. Never trust websites created by fundies.

repeating and re-posting lies, assumptions, generalizing stereotypes and biased data over and over does not make what you say true....ever!
If it weren't for people like you, no one would be afraid to come out and the world would know it's MORE than 10 % of us that are gay and lesbian.
find a better way to spend your time than preaching intolerance...

First, those who created the website cannot spell "Practices or HEATH Issues" .....I mean, really. #2, I have never known a single IV drug user who was gay, NOT ONE. I have travelled all over the world, and not one. Alcoholics, yes, marijuana smokers, yes, cocaine, yes.... but IV drugs, no. Dead before 50, please. checking obits in gay rags? That's science?
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!!! I am the great and powerful OZ!!!!

First off, why doesn't straight-talk provide links to its sources?
Second, the numbers are difficult to find because of organizations like straight-talk. What I mean is, who wants to admit they're gay when people like you are bound to hate them. Thus, there will never be an accurate survey of the prevalence of homosexuality.

Putting up false statistics and grossly biased sources to back your baseless claims, do not make those claims true.
Repeating the baseless claims over and over again will not make them true...
20000 sex partners? Wow that just screams BS doesn't it?
