UpChuck - your 10% number is a sad commentary .... MANY bought into this scam, which 9as others have already said) came from (gay) researcher Kinsey, who said 10% of HIS RESEARCH SUBJECTS were gay. The gay crowd immediately jumped on this and openly spoke about selling this to the world both to boost political power and make gays feel less ... ‘odd’.
The best information comes from the U.S. Center for Disease Control, whose survey encouraged truth telling because it was about health, not lifestyle. The result:
about 2.3% of males are gay
about 1.7% of females are gay
The Canadian government did a similar study and came up with slightly lower percentages.
Even in San Francisco the numbers are astounding (only 10% of the city population).
Despite this tiny sliver of the population, gays are WAY over-represented in:
pedophilia
violence
infidelity
drugs/alcohol
inability to sustain relationships
STDs (approx 50% of all new AIDS cases in America are in gay men)
suicide, depression
greatly reduced lifespan
Sad - and maybe God’s attempt to get the attention of these lost souls, though they seem pretty immune to grace.
Thanks for the updated numbers.
