Man you are really on the gay bash roll today for some reason. Does this 3.5% include those that haven't come out yet? I doubt if you are a closet gay that you would admit to a poll you are gay.
Actually is this about your hatred towards all gays or just gay men? Typically I find men have an issue with gay men because it forces them to question their own sexuality.
That 3.5% of people openly identify as gay is right in line with what I would expect. I bet the number of people who actually are gay is a little bit higher though - there are plenty of closet cases who are gay yet are too terrified to admit it.
That's a higher percentage than Jews or Muslims in the country. Does that mean we should take away the rights of Jews or Muslims to marry or practice their religions?
So....we can surmise there's about 12-15 million-ish people who actually admit to being gay or lesbian.
No big deal, right?
Heck, Asians are only 5% of the population (less if you don't count people who are "fully Asian")... so I think we can act with impunity against them as well.
