Since more homosexuals are open about their sexual orientation now this is not really a surprise.

I couldn't possibly care less about the sexual orientation of Obama's appointees so long as they do a good job. Good for them.

1%? Where did you get that number? Most studies put the number somewhere around 4%, and that only includes people who are openly gay or bisexual.

This one says 2% and it includes bisexuals
What Percentage of the Population Is Gay?

Here's another but you will probably dismiss it based on the source.
Exposed: The Myth That "10% Are Homosexual"

The total crap 10% figure was based on a VERY flawed 1948 survey that only counted big cities. Yeah, I can easily believe 10% if you are only looking at New York, San Francisco, et al.

In the future you might give me a chance to respond before you PM me saying I'm full of crap.

If the shoe fits>>>>>
Funny..... I find the figure to be 2% to 13%.....remember these are people admitting they are gay.....with the disrespectful/hateful thread responses like I've read here....I don't think many are in a hurry to be honest..

Up to 20% report gay feelings/attractions in a 2006 study......and my life experiences tell me close to 10% is accurate, considering all the closeted married men I have met.

Then add in all the politicians/preachers and posters who are screaming about it to hide their own sexuality and I'd say 10% is even a bit low of an estimate>>>>>

I wish homophobes would stay in the closet and/or attic and be denied internet access. I seriously don't care about who is gay or not gay. People's sexual orientation is of ZERO interest to me.

People need to mind their own business, tend to their own sex life or lack thereof, and stop meddling in other people's private lives. If someone can do the job, regardless if they are heterosexual, homosexual, bi-sexual, tri-sexual, whatever sexual, that's all that matters to me.

I'm sick of ansy pansy Ted Haggard types "I know what you did last night" fundie preachers who get high on meth and then have sex with a gay prostitute/druggie and then act like they have no clue what that was all about. I'm sick of the guy who was on George Bush's team who persecuted gays while he himself was/is gay. I'd say most of the people who are against gays have some sort of sexual orientation issues themselves since they're so concerned about what other people are doing in the bedroom and with whom. I'm pretty sure of that, in fact.
