I was always taught by my leftist professors to accept this 10% as gospel and its repeated by in numerous areas of our popular culture. Nevermind that I never accepted this faulty number because it flew in the face of statistics, but I just figured it was a made up number - much like how the left came up with the "3 million homeless" number in the 80's to attack Reagan. So now I figure this joker got this from a prison in the 1940's and then applied this to the general pop? Thats crappy science. I think the APA should revisit their decision in 1973 to reclassify this.

Hell, I never accepted it because it flew in the face of my own personal experience. I lived in New Orleans for seven years and Atlanta for four. Both cities are gay Meccas. Nevertheless, fewer than 3 out of every 100 men I knew in either town were gay. Certainly fewer than the bogus figure of 1 in 10. So... I bothered to look up the report and the survey and the "science" behind it. As one with extensive indoctrination in the scientific method - for a layman - I found this soft-science sociology crap abhorrent.
