Again: the claim was made in a Navy Times article in the mid to late 90s. I repeated the claim and have told you where/when I had read it. I cannot prove to you this article's existence because a search on the Internet didn't yield what I had read. So, either you're not comprehending this or you're calling me a liar.
When people start asking for veteran status it is usually a sign of desperation, especially on a thread where it isn’t relevant, I don’t know what experiences that you had in the military that lead you to believe that it is a hot bed of homosexuality but it isn’t, and that is why you cannot provide evidence for your silly claim.
Your veteran status (or lack thereof) is relevent. If you have not served, you have no idea whether this claim from the Navy Times article is plausible. Oh, and if the percentage is 8% and not many of those 8% reveal their proclivities to the 92%, how and why would you keep using the words "hot bed of homosexuality" to describe the atmosphere? It's relevent because you probably have no concept of what that might look like -- as if 8% of a population that happened to be gay/lesbian would be prancing around in a flamboyant manner for everyone to see when doing so, or even being much lower-key about it, would result in ridicule, hostility, and even disciplinary action.
OK, you are lying, the military is not 8% homosexual and I have given you every chance to substantiate your claim.
I said “hot bed of homosexuality” because if the young male military was 8% homosexual then it would truly be wild times, no one would be able to control that mob and the violence from conflict etc.
Like I said I don’t know what was going on in your units to convince you that 1 out of 12 Marines is homosexual, that is unique to you, I have never heard anyone that believed such a thing.
