I both agree & disagree.

Gay people are usually people who have been molested as a child or who have had some other traumatic event happen in their lives.

Others are born with more male or female genes than normal.

I adhere to that wise old man Sigmund Freud, who claims we were all born bisexual. I agree! I agree! I agree!

Being that, the Gay population is 0%!

I was wondering how long it would take for one of you guys to make THAT connection.

I bathe about twice a week. I have no stench.

Your wife and friends probably disagree.

Then he would find out that on average gay couples have a higher income, make better neighbors, and are better housekeepers. It would WRECK the fantasy he has built up in his head about those dirty nasty F#@$.

At the current time in the US, the GOVERNMENT controls marriage, and who you can marry.

Are you saying the government should get out of it and if an organization or church wanted to marry a same sex couple you would be okay with that?

Between 3 and 5% has always been the most realistic number of homosexuals in the United States.

That extra 1.5% will also include people who live a lie their entire lives.
Personally, I think it is closer to 10%, this would include those that are conflicted in their sexuality, as some in this thread may be.

My sister and my old girlfriend found about the same percentage as I found in my class. We came up with a number at about 9%. Of course that was just a small sample but it ma ybe a close representation of rest of the population.
Of 315 in my senior class, there was only one definite gay person. He couldn't help but be out, since he got caught giving oral sex to a boy in the gym shower during freshman year. ( Funny, I don't remember who the guy was on the receiving end.) The only out guy seemed to get shunned more than bullied. But in the junior yearbook the first name by his picture was "Karen." I don't remember how he made it through high school, unless him having a good sense of humor helped. And years later from talk, I learned of several others gay and was shocked to learn two of them were lovers in secret during high school.
