BTW, just an old keyboard cowboy's empirial observation from 55 years of living? My guesstimate is 1-3% of the population is gay.
Oh yeah, right. Well, it's a loving, normal and perfectly healthy 1%...
Yeah, well we are probably all gay, we just don't know it.
What the hell does THAT mean?
"Somebody who has never had a same-sex experience, ever in their lives, but has fantasies, does that make them gay, or not? Maybe they are, but they don't qualify.''
Now they want to include anybody who has had a fantasy in their numbers?
I don't know how to put it delicately, but I think that's the "any old hole will do" school of thought.
I want you to know I was on a business call when I read your reply. Talk about inappropriate laughter. :-)
Research throughout the world consistently shows between 1-2% of the population is homosexual. The standard response to these figures is to dismiss the findings and loudly trumpet the 10% figure from Kinsey's "research". I can tell you one thing, and that there are not over 30,000 homosexuals in the Montgomery area. (which would be 10% of the roughly 300,000 population of the metro Montgomery area, for those of you in Rio Linda)
Agreed. Unless you're using Kinsey's population sample, prisoners and pedophiles, as a "standard population", the percentage is 1-2%, not 10%. By any definition, homosexuality is abnormal and needs to be addressed as such.
"Somebody who has never had a Kryptonite reaction, ever in their lives, but has fantasies, does that make them Superman, or not? Maybe they are, but they don't qualify.''
Maybe the reason the figure is so low is the fantasy that they've all emigrated to San Francisco!
