LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan member of the Republican National Committee said Thursday he will not resign after posting an article critical of gay people on his Facebook page, despite calls from members of his own party that he step down.
Dave Agema, who served as a state representative from 2007 until December posted an excerpt from an article titled "Everyone Should Know These Statistics On Homosexuals" on his Facebook page Wednesday. A group of 21 Michigan Republicans has called it "deplorable."

The liberal mindset ha sit that all social evils are the product of societal forces, so they blame this on the oppression of the homosexuals. The reality is that no effort to change society will cure what ails them.
Just to satisfy my own curiosity, I would like to see good statistics on the prevalence of pederasty among adult male homosexuals. The last time I looked for information all I found were agenda-driven factoids from both sides.
Precisely. They're smart. They know how to manipulate their friends in the news media, who really don't need to be manipulated very much because they're so eager to help.
Those of us who support traditional marriage need to get a lot smarter about this, and we need to do it fast. We need to focus on the negative health effects of the gay lifestyle. Being gay and being sexually active, being immersed in the gay lifestyle, is like being addicted to crystal meth. It really is that self-destructive.
And we can't just say, "Let them do their own thing. It doesn't affect us." Because of Obamacare, we are forced to subsidize their outrageously expensive drug addictions, diseases and emotional problems. Furthermore, law is a teacher. When we legalize something, we are teaching the young and unsophisticated that it's safe to experiment with this behavior. It isn't safe, and it will never be safe.
Who retired in 1960 and was likely talking about statistics in the 1950's before NYC's demographics changed markedly and murder rates exploded.
Conservatives have a problem. When we say anything that enrages the Left, we cannot afford to have ANY error in the facts and figures we cite, because the Left will find one error and focus on that to the exclusion of all else to paint the speaker as a liar and a fool.
Thanks cripplecreek.
Conservatives are human and are also subject to being irrationally incited by emotional appeals to things they already believe.
Without effort to develop one’s character, intellect will usually be used in service of the emotions, and not the other way around.
I believe he's saying they're half the murder victims. That said, did you notice the 'list' is absent from the story?
Elite liberals can't say enough bad about people who smoke or are ten pounds overweight - but gay? Crickets. It's an unhealthy life style - and the MSM is keeping that truth a secret.
Mention pit bulls or cigarettes and a large percentage of FReepers go to the left of Pelosi and become totally irrational. Just like the liberals they want your vice banned but are hands off when it comes to their vices.
Exactly, if there one wrong factoid in article the left can then discredit the whole thing.
As to the # of gays, yes they seem like way more than they are thanks to how visible they are now and leftist propaganda. The old canard I’m sure people believe (from the Kinsey report I think) is 10%, and I’ve heard even higher, ridiculous.
My brother recently moved out to LA near West Hollywood which is one of the gayest neighborhoods in the country.
I asked him what % he thought was gay in the area and he said 20% which shocked me. Data I’ve seen (by zipcode from US Census data) puts the actual number at 9.5%. Still under 10% in one of the gayest neighborhoods around. And my brother was under the impression they were at twice their actual numbers. Just using google I’ve seen idiots put the gay population of the area even higher, a third to 41%!!! Wikipedia says 41% gay male, their source being some demographic report than also says it’s 42% females over 18, meaning under 20% of the population are regular men, the fewest anywhere in the world outside of a nunnery! This takes fuzzy math to whole new level.
‘That one is surprising. I wonder if true.’
It has to be, it’s posted on the internet.
