Everyone knows there are gays and lesbians in everybodys family. And no office would be complete without a sassy gay character. And just about every other kid in high school is wresting with his sexuality. I know. I watch TV.
Except it isnt true, and the Centers for Disease Control just proved it. A new comprehensive study by the CDC with over 33,000 participants has confirmed earlier estimates; less than 3 percent of the U.S. population self-identifies as gay, lesbian or bisexual. Earlier, much smaller-scale surveys have put that number at 4 percent.
The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), published July 15 by the CDC, was the first large-scale study of its kind. Data was collected from the Census Bureau, as The Washington Post reported, and 33,557 adults between the ages of 18 and 64 participated in the study, which included in-person interviews as well as follow-up phone questions.
The NHIS study found that, while 96.6 percent of adults identified as straight, 1.6 percent identified as gay or lesbian, and 0.7 percent called themselves bisexual. 1.1 percent responded I dont know or said they were something else not listed.
That sure doesnt sound like society according to Hollywood, or the news media, which have young Americans convinced 30 percent of the population is gay.
Maybe thats because gay characters pop up in just about every product out of Hollywood. Men dress as women, give lap dances to other men and even get married in national awards shows likethe Grammys and Tony Awards. Media festivals likeSouth by Southwest and Sundance celebrate gay sex and all other kinds of relationships as completely normal. TV shows like Modern Family, The New Normal and The Fosters attempt to show that gay families are just as common and normal as any other family.
The news media does their part too. CNN has a particularly cozy relationship with GLAAD, the gay speech police. CNNs Paul Begala claimed in 2011, One out of 10 Americans is gay...At Least 10 percent of us are gay or lesbian. The media attacks businesses and churches as being out of step with reality, and calls for childrens organizations like the Boy Scouts to include gay scout leaders.
Meanwhile the media highlights stories of transgender toddlers and invokes pity for the handful of gay students who go to Christian colleges and are open about their sexuality, then complain when they are asked to abide by the schools religious rules.
Gay activists who say hateful things get a pass from the media too. Take Dan Savage, who has said all kinds of vile comments towards conservatives, Christians, and women, yet the media ignores his hate. The moment a Christian refers to the Bible on homosexuality, the media relentlessly attacks the person, their family, and tries to take away their livelihood. They did that with Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty and Chic-Fil-As Dan Cathy.
A much higher percentage of the population believes marriage should be between man and a woman. The annual March for Marriage is the largest march of its kind yet themedia refuse to report on it each year.
I ain’t holdin’ my breath.
Nobody wants you to hold your BREATH.
Where it starts is to catch the Holy Spirit.
Interesting that this survey on homosexuality was conducted by the Center for DISEASE Control.
Nope.
The number of people dying of AIDS is way down. In fact many now consider it a chronic disease.
Well yes... as much as the “gay” community has tried, it has not managed to shake off AIDS. And so the CDC keeps on caring about the matter.
That is because 9 out of 10 people in the media are fags.
Probably not THAT bad.
And that 2.3% includes the amoral bisexual not-really homosexuals, who will stick anything anywhere if it might feel good...
HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.
But, but it’s soooo kewl to be gay and it gets you attention.
I don’t call them “gay”. That is a bastardazation of the word. Similar to the rainbow flag. I call them queers. And so do a lot of FReepers. The word gay and the rainbow has been usurped by the homos and is now engrained with the connection of that life style. The same way the swastija became synonomis with the Nazi party. It’s inseperable. I prefer to call them what they really call themselves, queers. And as for their use of the term gay marriage, THAT is a huge misnomer. Whatever it is, it IS NOT a true marriage.

That’s why I pulled the plug on TV years ago. Homosexuals and their depravity aren’t welcome in my house.
Personally, i think Kinsey just made up the “10%” number, I mean, EXACTLY 10%?? Yeah sure.
1 in 10 is a significant minority, 1 in 40 is not.
And Chick-fil-A is still expanding and chalking up record sales, while Duck Dynasty routinely beats all cable competition on Wednesday nights.
It’s less than 1%. And that 1% has changed what the definition of marriage was since the beginning of recorded history. None of this degenerate, immoral garbage would would have happened if not for the election of the homosexual in the White House, wiht an assist from the spineless, worthless republicans cowering down to him like a dog in heat.
I don't think Kinsey ever claimed it was exactly 10%. But he did use a very nonrandom study group - if I recall correctly, prison inmates were a large part of it if not the only part.
