"It is a bad business plan to start a business that excludes 92% of your potential customer base."

The #'s I've heard for Queers are ~ 2.6%

I would love to see GW charge Tommy Thompson's Dept (The US Dept of HHS) with doing a survey on Queers:

1) How many are there (confirm the 2-3% numbers)
2) The health and life span of Queers. Me thinks the study would show how diseased Queers are and how short their life span is (I've heard #'s like 40 years). Me thinks that smokers are a hell of lot healthier than queers --- and you know how the Libs demonize the health of smokers!

It would get interesting!

I think that attempting to find the population percentage of Gays would be neither reliable nor worth the money expended.

With everything going on in Canada these days(ie pot legalization,and same sex marriage thing),I had an idea that I cant pull off.
What about buying resorts just over the Canadian border.
Call one of them The GAY CAMP.
But what would be a good name for the pot resort?

I just wish I had the money to pull this one off.looks to me like a license to print money.

1) Why is it harder to find out the percentage of Gays in the US, versus finding out other stupid tid bid's that HHS attempts to do with hugh amounts of money?

2) It would be worth the money if we determined the real % of Queers in the US. Way too much effort is being spent by all sides on "Gay Issues"! If indeed Queers are only 2-3% of the population why are we doing all this?

We could find 100's of issues that affect 2-3% of the population that would be better addressed than Queerism!

Can you imagine if a conservative celebrity wanted to open a private business exclusively for heterosexuals?

I think it would be a success.

Shouldn't they call it the Magic Carpet Travel Agency?

Because people lie about such things. Individually they say not me, but their groups attempt to inflate their numbers for political advantage.

OBTW: Define Homosexual for the purpose of our survey. Such as number of instances vs. experiment, preference vs. opportunism and is a raped prisoner a homosexual?

Ok, let's look at it. Let's say the Dept. of HHS sends out a Questioneer that asks, are you a Queer (we want to know bacause we need to raise money to fight AIDS.)

The 97% of us straights would answer: Hell NO, I ain't Queer.

The other 3% (Queers) would say: Yes, because they want the AIDS money appropriated.

Piece of Cake!

homosexuals chartering cruise ships for "special" cruises is old news. Its been done for years. The good thing is that booking agents will in fact warn about those particular dates. (a courtesy Disney's closetted Mr. E. denies families) Remember the Cuba Gooding Jr. movie that bombed? That is nothing new, it sounds like Rosie is attempting to "brand" her calorically blessed postior to the travel industry.

If anything sounds like someone is really in financial trouble.
