I have a sensitive, inconvenient, and undoubtedly politically incorrect question: Why aren’t there more gay people?
I ask because there’s something confusing about our “culture war.” Given the prominence of the issue, you would expect homosexuality to be rampant in America. When asked to estimate how many gay people there are, most people guess that it’s on the order of 20% to 25% of the population. But yet another study has been released by the CDC giving a more scientific estimate, and it finds that almost 97 percent of Americans describe themselves as straight — the actual number who describes themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual is 2.3%. So the public’s perception is off by a whole order of magnitude.
It’s almost as if someone has been conspiring to elevate this issue way beyond its actual cultural significance. That is precisely what we find, and both sides are to blame.
For the moderate left, gay rights have to be magnified as a social issue because they want to keep alive the legacy of the civil rights movement. They know how much they gained by remaking the Democratic Party, the home of the old Dixiecrats, into the party that claims exclusive credit for the entire civil right movement—while smearing Republicans as racists. Their exaggeration of the culture war over homosexuality is partly an attempt find a new civil rights movement to fight over so they can maintain a manufactured moral high ground.

Actually, they are simply turning the clock back by a couple of thousand years. In ancient Rome, male homos were allowed to buy, sell, and trade young boys. These perverts are a threat to our children, our blood supply, and healthcare.
It is never too late to find the Lord. Simply stand back and observe the complexity and beauty of our world and ask why only humans can create complex systems.
I think the author pulled that line out of his rear.
and all the women are bi-sexual
That’s news to me! Having been born a woman, and made 55 trips around the sun, I know myself pretty well. I have only ever been attracted to men. And I was blessed to be married yo the best one for over 30 years now.
I’m not attracted to women. Not bisexual.
See #3, I was responding to that.
