Great! And IMHO well written - hitting the bullseye in every way.

Except one:

5% of the population is not correct, more like roughly 2%. I used to have all that stuff at my fingertips or at least findable but all files are off my computer for a while, have to deal with comp. problems. Here’s a few links about actual percentages; keeping in mind the numbers are fluid because many people decide after years of not being homoseuxal that they are, and many decide that they are not.

While homosexuals claim they make up 10% of the population, the reality is closer to 1-2%.

While homosexuals claim they make up 10% of the population, the reality is closer to 1-2 percent A NEWLY RELEASED REPORT from the Centers for Disease Control’s National Center for Health Statistics reveals that only 2.3% of the population considers themselves homosexual. The statistics come from a 2002 National Survey of Family Growth and are based on 12,571 interviews with men and women ages 15-44 years of age. (The findings were reported in WorldNetDaily, September 16, 2005).

According to this survey, only 2.3% of the males surveyed considered themselves to be homosexuals; 1.8% considered themselves to be bisexuals. Among men ages 18-44, 92% said they were attracted “only to females” and 3.9% “mostly” to females. Among women, 86% said they were attracted only to males, and 10% “mostly” to males.

Scroll down the article, here is just a sample of info:

Bell/Weinberg 1970 – < 2% total M and F (ratings of siblings)

Cameron/Ross 1975-78 – 3.1% M, 3.9% F

FRI 1983 – 5.4% M, 3.6% F (4,340 respondents)

Trocki 1988-89 – 3% M, 2% F

NCHS 1988-91 – ² 3.5% M (over 50,000 respondents)

Catania/NABS 1992 – 2% M, 2% F (4% in urban areas; 10,600 respondents)

Billy/Battelle 1993 – ³ 1.1% M

Thanks, and thanks for the correction/figures. I’ll make the changes.

Remember, 2% of adults is about 1% of the total population.

All together, if 1.8% of adult males say they're gay, they're barely 0.5% of the total population.

That is a minuscule population.
