Agree..
Nor does the poll does not take into consideration those who won't admit they are gay, and, the many, many who are bi-sexual or fall somewhere in between- not 100 percent gay or straight.

Absolutely false. A proven lie.

I'm a guy... and I'm only attracted to women. How could it possibly be different for other guys?
How ridiculously absurd. Do you think all humans are exactly like you? Why do some men like brunettes and some like blondes? Not everyone has the same attractions. Some people are biologically wired to be attracted to the same-sex. It's part of their brain development.

People weren't open about being gay in the 1950s because it was illegal and they faced severe harassment and punishment for it. There aren't more gay people now than there were back then. They are just more open to admit it since it's no longer as dangerous to be openly gay.

It is always interesting to watch the people who say that the minority should conform to the majorities view even if it is something they are born with (homosexuals should force themselves to be heterosexual)...but when we are talking about laws like gun control the same group shrieks that no one (no matter the majority) can ever tell them what to do.

It's a cognitive dissidence that boarders on mental illness.

Kids are not being indoctrinated. And even if they were, we allow religious extremists to brainwash kids, so it's quite the double standard.
