Homosexual Groups Admit ‘10%’ Figure Is Wrong

Summary: In fighting to overturn a Texas law against homosexual sodomy, homosexual activists have quietly admitted that their claim that 10% of the population is homosexual is wrong.

In what will go down as one of the most underreported stories of the year, homosexual activists fighting against a sodomy law in Texas have admitted in a legal brief that 10% of the population is not homosexual.

The 10% claim has been used for more than 20 years to push the homosexual agenda—and to recruit public school children into the homosexual deathstyle.

The admission that the 10% figure is wrong appeared in an obscure footnote in a legal brief filed by a coalition of homosexual groups in the Lawrence v. Texas case now before the Supreme Court.

The coalition consisted of 31 groups including: Human Rights Campaign, National Gay & Lesbian Task Force, Parents, Families, & Friends of Lesbians and Gays, The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, and the People for the Way Foundation.

In a footnote on page 16 of this homosexual coalition’s legal brief, they admit that "2.8% percent of the male, and 1.4% of the female, population identify themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual."

Our thanks to the Family Research Council for pointing out this footnote and exposing the fact that homosexuals are finally telling the truth about their numbers. To read FRC’s analysis of this controversy, click here: Family Research Council: CultureFacts: Culture Facts - April 4, 2003

[Mr. K]

and I am not buying the 2.8% claim either- nature does not make that many mistakes in a species (one out of 50???) and survive

[Paradox]

I had bought the 10% figure. Didn't really matter to me since I am not against gays per se, just their politics. But I feel like an idiot for believing the figure in the first place, of COURSE they would make statistics up to support their cause...

[robertpaulsen]

Take out the bisexuals and my guess is that the number of "pure" homosexuals would drop below 1%.

What Is "A Homosexual" Kinsey's published data reveal that homosexuals are much more willing to "try it" with an animal, a child, a man, many women, or for that matter "something completely different."

Family Research Report - May-Jun 2002 Omnisexual -Webster's dictionary4 defines 'homosexual' by "sexual attraction toward [or relations with] a person of the same sex" (p. 464). Yet as both the FRI and the Kinsey studies demonstrate, sexual flexibility rather than a fixed interest in or exclusive performance with members of the same sex is characteristic of 'homosexuals.' Almost all 'homosexuals,' in fact, manage to have sex with the opposite sex.

The term [homosexual]certainly does not seem to fit ex-homosexuals, many of whom express no further interest in sex with their sex. Further, the sexual flexibility that the great majority of 'homosexuals' exhibit over their lifetimes does not fit the 'compulsive' nuances associated with the term 'homosexual' either

BUMP!

They're a well-organized and vociferous bunch, no matter their true number.

1. Homosexual Propaganda Campaign Based On Hitler's 'Big Lie' Technique
2. Gay Rights Strategies Involve Conscious Deception And Wholesale Manipulation of Public Opinion
3. New Book Guides Journalists in Reporting of Homosexual Issues
4. Selling Homosexuality To America
5. Homosexual minority dominates mainstream America

Homosexual = 1.75% Lesbian = 1.56% This has been the number that statisticians have been coming up for years. In 1998, I think, some researchers decided to find out where the 10% figure came from and it turns out that it was Alfred Kinsey. What they discovered was that Kinsey had used prison populations for his samples, rather than the general populace, as he had claimed.

I'll leave it to the student to determine the impact of Kinsey's report on American society for the last 50 years. It's disgusting.

"2.8% percent of the male, and 1.4% of the female, population identify themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual."

Of the 2.8% (admittedly without ANY data to back up my guess) I would venture to guess that a majority would say they were bi-sexual, thus the true homosexual community would be a fraction of the 2.8%.

[detsaoT]

Conservatives have been saying this for years. Glad to see we finally "outed" the rats (pun intended).

Bump!

"Take out the bisexuals and my guess is that the number of "pure" homosexuals would drop below 1%."

Bisexuals are probably not homosexuals at all. Just whores... They would "do it" with a rock pile if they thought there was a snake in it.

Nope. 2.8% of the population "identifies themselves" as "homosexual".

[JoeSixPack1]

The blurred lines between bi & homo are intentional as purists in that community can't exist.

[OXENinFLA]

I have a gay Uncle that teaches at William & Mary. He is writing a book "Weathering Change: Gays and Lesbians, Christian Conservatives, and Everyday Hostilities."

The more I learn about how the Homosexual agenda is ruining this country the more what he does ticks me off. Guess I need to send him some truth about what is wrong with things and lies his piers are putting forward. This article may help.

[my4kidsdad]

Isn't there a documentary coming out soon on his (Kinsey's)life and work?

[BibChr]

Surveying The Arts, one could get the impression that about 87.4% are homosexual.

[Hodar]

Nope. 2.8% of the population "identifies themselves" as "homosexual".

From the article, again "2.8% percent of the male, and 1.4% of the female, population identify themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual."

The Family Research Institute

1. Newsweek, 2/15/93, p. 46: "For years, the gay-rights movement has sought safety in numbers. Its leaders have long claimed that homosexuals constitute 10 percent of the American population. They cited Alfred Kinsey, who interviewed thousands of men and women for landmark studies on human sexuality in the 1940s and 1950s. Activists seized on the double digits to strengthen their political message–that millions of citizens are excluded from the mainstream by anti-gay discrimination. Policymakers and the press (including NEWSWEEK) adopted the estimate–despite protests from skeptical conservatives–citing it time and again.

2. Fortune, 1991, p. 42: "Kinsey’s classic 1948 studies suggest that about 10% of American adults are homosexual, a figure that more recent surveys support."

3. Washington Times, 11/19/91, p. A3: "10 percent of American men are homosexual and 5 percent of women are lesbian."

4. Professional journals like the Family Therapy Networker, 1991: "from Kinsey’s historic study in the 1940s to the present, surveys consistently show that 10 percent of the population is either gay or lesbian–that’s 25 million people."

5. Even the head of the American Psychological Association, Bryant Welch, testified on 2/6/89 that the APA had found "in fact all the research supported the conclusion that homosexuality... is a sexual orientation found consistently in about ten percent of the male population and approximately 5 percent of the female population.... research showed that across different historical eras and in totally different cultures the incidence of homosexuality remained the same irrespective of public attitudes and prohibitions."

[JoshGray]

You're right; my mistake.
