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.

Because the lifestyle suck and is a pain the ass?
Just a guess...
if you were an alien race reading the earth’s media broadcasts to learn about us you’d come to the conclusion that earth was ruled by a magnificent collection of sexy black folks and magical, loving gays.
So....the Left needs faggies in order to continue their culture war.
Order Captain Obvious to stop the presses!!
“It’s almost as if someone has been conspiring to elevate this issue way beyond its actual cultural significance”
well that’s it exactly. the war is really against the white Christian male, and support for gays is just one more column that is enlisted to fight.
if you look at everything that is being pushed in our society in the prism of that war, it all starts to make sense.

One look at moochele and they would discard the “sexy” part.
And the number of transgenders is probably in the tens of thousands. But that won’t stop the rest of society from being totally reshaped to accommodate them.
Left solely to their own devices, their replenishment would require collaboration between Lesbians and Homos, i.e., have cross-sex resulting in children. That, being a confirmation of the natural order of things (e.g., it takes two different sexes to make a baby) is hypocritical in and of itself.
It is why they spend so much time and energy to change opinions, and more importantly, acceptance, so that they can infiltrate amongst our young and pervert them. As with any perversion, it ALWAYS escalates. Left unchecked, they will replenish themselves.
Because the “gay revolution” has nothing to do about gay people.
It’s about destroying Judo-Christianity.
I’m pretty sure they’re fine with the judo

homosexuality is not genetic. it cannot be. if it were, it would have long since died out as a trait since it cannot, by definition, be passed on.
homosexuality is, by definition, a behavioral issue.
about 2% of this country are radical, self loathing, deviants who, thankfully, have a life expectancy of only 42 years.
Jefferson was going easy on them. Castration was suggested as an alternative to sentencing them to death.
Either way - I agree. Clearly homosexual behavior (and any other form of abnormal, non-procreative sex) breeds disease. Removing the urge to perform such unnatural activities is an act of compassion. Love thy enemy. Castration would help protect the individual and society as a whole.
It is unfortunate that there isn’t such an easy solution to help the female sodomites.
Because humans (like all animals) have a genetic drive to reproduce. you can only do that with the opposite gender. Even if a person doesn’t want to have kids, the base desire still draws us to at least want to be involved with the opposite gender in some way.
Homosexuality had always been a minuscule number of people that kept their activities off and out of sight. And for the most part, that worked out well enough. They knew what they were doing was really off the reservation, and they didnt make some effort to force people to accept it.
Gay activists today know that most people on their own would never want to be gay, that is why they are making this full-court press in movies, on tv, in books, and by criminalizing criticism of homosexuality to almost make it “cool” and more preferable to being normal. Look how edgy and alternative you will be! You can also claim instant victim status. Something really desirable to suburban white kids that desperately want to be in with other victim classes. They are using techniques used by pedophiles to coax kids into sexual situations by making it seem more normal, to make homosexuality to be the new cool subversion. The awesome way to stick it to your parents, stand out, and be popular.
That is the only way homosexuals can “reproduce” is through mental manipulation.
Being gay used to hold a certain secretive esoteric nature to it. Now that it is public, it’s no longer “different” or “unique”. The titillation factor is gone.
It will be interesting to see if this is an accurate prediction. If homosexuality is not a genetic fluke, but is influenced by environment, then it is entirely possible for the percentage of practitioners to increase.
Perhaps the number of people who say they are "gay" will remain constant, but the percentage who sometimes have anal sex with another guy will increase.
Saw a very illuminating post elsewhere recently: homosexuality is nature’s way of marking one for elimination from the gene pool.
When you look at it from a numbers standpoint, especially over the long-term, it’s a solid theory.
What strikes me is how invariant the number of homosexuals is. Over the past three or four decades, public awareness and acceptance of homosexuality has grown by leaps and bounds, yet none of this seems to have made any converts.
One would think so many more would be coming out of the closet but that's just not happening.
This is also a good point:
Let’s put it this way: which is a more important issue, a couple of hundred thousand gay marriages — or the millions of heterosexual couples who, for larger social reasons, are not getting married and not forming stable relationships, with all of the negative consequences for their own lives and the lives of their children?
So much more damage has been done to our society through no-fault divorce than could be done with a couple of guys pretending they are "married". If I could make marriage important again, culturally, in this country, I would. Letting some gays play house would act contrary to that but it would not destroy that important societal pillar by itself.
I watched a documentary (Though, I can’t recall the title) on a man who was a homosexual pedophile and decided to get castrated. He claimed to be much happier with his life after the castration.
