According to a study from the National Bureau of Economic Research, about 20 percent of the population is attracted to their own gender. That’s nearly double the usual estimates of about 10 percent. The authors explain that their methodology might have something to do with it:
Participants were randomly assigned to either a “best practices method” that was computer-based and provides privacy and anonymity, or to a “veiled elicitation method” that further conceals individual responses. Answers in the veiled method preclude inference about any particular individual, but can be used to accurately estimate statistics about the population. Comparing the two methods shows sexuality-related questions receive biased responses even under current best practices, and, for many questions, the bias is substantial. The veiled method increased self-reports of non-heterosexual identity by 65% (p<0.05) and same-sex sexual experiences by 59% (p<0.01). The veiled method also increased the rates of anti-gay sentiment. Respondents were 67% more likely to express disapproval of an openly gay manager at work (p<0.01) and 71% more likely to say it is okay to discriminate against lesbian, gay, or bisexual individuals (p<0.01).

??? Kinsey had sex with his interviewees to make them "comfortable" in discussing sexual issues.
I'd hardly call that "detached" or "clinical".
I know plenty of happy people.............!
However in reality, it's closer to 2-3%.
The take-over of news reporting by homosexuals was planned: http://www.nlgja.org/ The National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association exists for only one reason: to push their agenda of insisting that the world applaud them for putting theirs where God prohibits them from doing so. Their God never warns more decidedly and forcefully. He calls male homosexual behavior an abomination.
kinsey lied at 10% due to his biased sample population.
1-2%.
Think about it.
The “G”’s, by themselves, could not get together enough of a group to project their political agenda.
So they adopted the “L”’s to come along, then the “B”’s, then the “T”’s, pretty soon they will bring in the “P”’s (pedophiles).
The answer is...”the really annoying percent that should just STFU and get over themselves”!
I was referring more to the Mr. X issue.
When did the Smithsonian start charging for admission? That’s almost as depressing as it being taken over by lefties.
That would give NBC an excuse to lay off a lot of folks.

Bull. It’s 1% or less than the general population, any claims above this are crap
So, now we have the Homosexual Tribe.
LESSEE: [In no particular order] Black Tribe, American Indian Tribe, Illegal Alien Tribe, Feminazi Tribe, Moslem Tribe, Asian Tribe, Homosexual Tribe, Yankee Tribe, Confederate Tribe, Redneck Tribe, Effete Elite Tribe, Inside the Evil Beltway Tribe, Democrat Tribe, Republican Elite Tribe, Conservative Republican Tribe, Just Leave Me Alone Tribe, Prepper Tribe, TEA Party Tribe, Various and sundry Religious Tribes (probably too numerous to call out).
YUP! Now we can have a war!
Oh! Sorry! We are at war.
How is it working out for us?
Pogo famously said on Earth Day, 1970 “We have met the enemy and he is us.”
And, we still have not figured this thing called “living in harmony with each other” out??????
I might add, it is not just the USA that hasn’t figured it out: modern Homo sapiens have had roughly 120,000 years to figure it out, and haven’t done so.
INSANITY RULES!
I actually rarely see Hispanics or Asians on English-language television. I do see a disproportionate number of blacks, Jews, and gays, however. Almost as odd as the fact that nearly every TV show set in New York shows folks with ho hum jobs living in expensive apartments. The problem with all of this is most foreigners (including here in Brazil) think America is what they see on TV.
Huh?
No, I don't think so.

Not this crap again. It’s not even 20 percent in San Francisco.
