20-25% of the characters I see on TV and movies are gay - hence it must be the same proportion in the population - right?

Also the gay characters are the most noble, wise, honest and in every way the very best people - this must be true elsewhere - right?

There are no gays, only homosexuals.

And they are most certainly not gay.

And they have no more money than any other demographic.

Probably even less, since they spend so much of it on psychiatrists, drugs, booze and medications.

How nice it was to come of age in the 1950s and early 1960s when the homosexuals were firmly in the closet, where they belonged. At the time I did not realize how good it was for me to grow up in such an environment.

They are a very small percentage, but are organized, insistent, loud, narcissistic and as they don’t have to support kids or pass wealth to future generations, have money available to fund their pressure group , plus buy politicians.

If they weren’t in my face demanding attention and favors, I would admire the fact a lot of them are creative, focused on success, artistic and good money makers. I do not like that some of them a predators on youths and try to recruit them into the homosexual/lesbian life.

It's not really amazing. A small but well organized group of people can start a revolution - and often win.

Those groups of people today are called "parties," but it doesn't mean that the group must be large. The group has to appear large, though - either by numbers, or by political influence, or by strength of its weapons - or by acceptance (if not by support) of large segments of population.

Ultimately, those LGBT issues only serve as a platform on which new politicians can stand and proclaim that they are there to defend interests of this here oppressed minority. The society then immediately soils its collective pants and gives that politician all the power that he asks for, only to avoid the accusation of that ultimate, unspeakable sin of not being politically correct (or democratic, or tolerant, or whatever the word of the day is.)

It's not just them, but also the lefties who have sided with them, that give them their clout.

Whoever lets their children watch “Glee” is helping the Sodomites spread their propaganda to the next generation.

Bill Whittle's YouTube video "The Battle of Big Ideas, Part 1: CONSTRAINED vs. UNCONSTRAINED" is based on Thomas Sowell's book, "A Conflict of Vision's".

Sowell asks, "Why do Liberals & Conservatives end up diametrically opposed to each other on so many totally different issues?" He then explains the vastly different "visions" of the two groups. Another term would be "world view", as in the way one view's and understands the world around him, the framework upon which to hang all of the observations & ideas which we call Reality.

One definition of Wisdom would be, "To see the world, people and events as God sees them." Those who would disagree vehemently with this definition fight tooth and nail to destroy anything which agrees with and promotes this idea of Wisdom.

Looking at it this way makes it easier to understand why Homosexuals, Gaia worshipers, abortionists, the sexually unrestrained, "recreational" drug promoters, militant atheists and serious Islamist all give each other a free pass ("the enemy of my enemy is my friend") or all show up at the same protests.

The Islamists tend to be far more exclusive, but all of the other crowds are always mutually supportive.

They keep pushing with the propaganda hoping they will be accepted as normal by mainstream America —which they will never be PERIOD

If fact they themselves probably will never believe it

Sad situation for society and the homosexuals both

Someone tell me if I am misreading the article, but it seems as though Ms. Franke-Ruta is saying, essentially, this:

"Since there are so few homosexuals, it is no big deal to allow them to marry. Sure, homosexual groups lied about their numbers in the past, but that was just to get heterosexuals to ACCEPT their behavior...now that homosexuality is de-stigmatized, the homosexual groups acknowledge they are less than 5% of the population. So let's just let them marry, it is no big deal."

Now the above is just MY interpretation of what the article implies. Am I off base?

There are no inherently homosexual people. There are just a few people who act as if they’re homosexual, often for political reasons.

Maybe now the major minority for set-asides and preferences in hiring by the Federal Government should be: Male, White, Christian, Hetrosexual. If you fit this description then you should be hired immediately and subjected to the doctrination of acceptance practiced by the Federal Government. Of course, you will be expected to work harder, not get pregnant or AIDS, and to accept being passed over for promotions based on qualifications due to the fact that blacks get a percentage of promotions, females as well, and any other type of person on the Federal Checklist where you self identify. If you are Gay, then you can get family member preferences for your partner and insurance, housing, and they get a hiring preference too. BINGO with three letters - G-A-Y.

Someone once told me it was all about increasing their numbers so that they would have more partners available to choose from. This person also told me, that most are unattractive to each other and if they can increase their numbers by making it appear normal then they may eventually have more partners to choose from.

I think there may be less than two percent. It is highly in Gay political interest to exaggerate their numbers.

...and what really bites (a little gay lingo) is that this propaganda has its real effect on people that don’t spend much time keeping up to speed. These are the people that run corporations and decide to cater to this phantom 25% of the population...such as JC Penny.
