No, I never said one woman is proof. I said it's more evidence for my side.

I have addressed the question countless times over the time I have been on C-D. Use the search function.
You did ignore it. You posted several things after my question to you in the thread(s).
It's not even evidence. That woman could be bi, could have hidden herself etc. You have not presented any evidence. Thus, you failed to prove pretty much anything.

And nobody would choose to be discriminated against, choose to be harassed, choose to have your basic rights denied.

You can not choose, they can not choose, nobody can choose. End of story.

Give me post numbers, I could have missed it.

Nobody's basic rights are denied, either, and I doubt they are discriminated against or harassed on a regular basis due to sexual preference. The hyperbole never ends.

Btw, my point is not to prove anything. I came on this thread and saw one post that I thought was amusing b/c it kind of backs up my side's argument of choice. And now of course I am being attacked for my opinion. What's new?

Nope, you didn't miss it. I asked it twice.

Of course they are. You're the prime example. You're not being attacked. You are just wrong. 1+1 isn't 3. So I will tell you and correct you.

Funny to see the same old anti-gay posters claim that they're the real victims. It must be frightening to be so paranoid and delusional.

Actually the traditional numbers for gays tend to be 10-11% I personally think it is higher, especially when you bring in the bisexuals.

They say 1/2 of those over the age of 35 that never married are gay... plus a large number that admit it, plus an even larger number that never admit it... I'm sure the numbers are closer to 20%.

What a difference a Gay makes. imagine the difference 60million will make.

Do you know the entire story? Was their societal factors in trying to repress the label? Are they bisexual?

Coming out at 55 is not evidence to your theory. Not in the slightest.

I was always told that 10% of the population were gay/lesbian.

10% were transgendered.

10% were bi-sexual.

What happened?

That number of 9 million is pure BS!! How do they know that there are only 9 million? No one came to my door and asked me. Besides, many of us think that our sexual orientation is no ones damn business. WHO CARES?? We are here, we aren't going away, and we have no intention of "taking over".....get over it!

Your "doubt" doesn't matter. Reality does. I can see it in the fundamentalists countries, in the third world countries but I just don't see why so many Americans choose to be nosy about interfering with others' life.

How do you know that there aren't fewer?

Nobody wants you to "go away".

It would be nice if you just went about your lives and let the rest of us alone.
