Why are you ignoring my request for your source of that 3% statistic??

[GeorgeW23225]

I just call 'em as I see 'em.

I must have missed the kill the faggots sermon at Sunday school.

[GeorgeW23225]

Your source for that 2% statistic, please??

A few posts ago, the figure was all the way up to 3%......

Freepmail just sent, thanks!

:-)

[GeorgeW23225]

Oh my goodness.........

They've called in the keeper of the gay bashing and moral values ping lists!!

How sad........and how very insecure.

[little jeremiah]

Does the phrase "Thou doth protesteth too much" mean anything to them??? I can only wonder why they appear to be so insecure with their own sexuality.

Just pointing out Georgie's classic homosexual agenda tactics - accuse those who are opposed to the "gay" agenda closet homosexuals themselves. This is at least the second time he's mentioned it on this thread.

Thanks...just read your FReepmail. Will reply to it.

Allan (or is it Allen?) Gutmacher did a survey around '98 for Planned Parenthood, IIRC, and the figure was around 2.something %. There were several studies done around that time and they all agreed - figures ranged between one point something up to 3% at the highest. Averaged out to around 2%.

If I had time I'd get links but no time at the moment.

Do you think I don't scan FR for articles and threads of interest occasionally?

You're coming unglued, pal.

I thought your ex-wife at a fatwa on you.

[Dashing Dasher]

I believe they were offended by your "pull my finger" tagline.

I work in the Hospitality and Travel industry, and I never said it was an area with a lot of conservative gays. I said I worked with gay people and that they were conservative, voted for President Bush, and thought that gay marriage was a stupid idea. I was NOT painting with a broad brush. I was only talking about the gay people I work with. I thought that was obvious from my post. If not, my apologies.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that your industry had a lot of conservative gays. I was just curious. I also didn't mean to imply that you were painting with a broad brush. I guess I just wanted to point out that none of us can make broad generalizations in any direction about the political motivations of gay people. Hope I didn't offend.

Her fatwas are weak as hell.
Her soldiers, my sons, refuse to enforce any fatwa against me
stronger than "don't loan him books". She is a puppet dictator.

Does the phrase "Thou doth protesteth too much" mean anything to them???

That is such a silly and illogical argument. Was Ronald Reagan secretly a communist because he protested againt them too much? Are you secretley a homophobe since you protest against them too much?

[little jeremiah]

LOLOLOL!!!

Are you secretley a homophobe since you protest against them too much?

Made my day. Love it.

[Dashing Dasher]

Note to self... don't loan Humble books.


Check.

Following your eminently sound reasoning, I must be a repressed liberal as well. I never would have seen this one coming.

Note to self... don't loan Humble books.

See, if you look at it the right way nobody is fatwa'd
against giving me books, and it works out to be the same thing anyway.

[Dashing Dasher]

Valid point. I like the way you play with words and everything turns out okay.
