I'm not so sure. While, traditionally, was more so true for gay men and lesbians to an extent (leaving aside trans people for a minute), I'd wager that it is becoming less and less true these days as the price of surrogacy continues to decrease. When you include bisexuals and those who are questioning but never act on same sex attraction to that count, I think the entire equation changes as well.

Note, I don't think that anywhere close to 50% of the population is LGBTQ, but (and particularly to the point of those who are questioning), I believe that a much higher percentage than some think are LGBTQ, even if most would never admit so publicly due to societal norms and the risk of death/serious bodily harm they'd face in many places.

It’s true. The lesbian who tried to recruit me told me that she was one conversion away from a gift certificate to Chili’s. It didn’t take, so I felt kind of bad and took her out for an Awesome Blossom, on me.

Years ago there was a magazine titled “10 Percent”. Its name came from the claimed percentage of the population that was in the “alphabet categories”.

I think the gays are trying to increase the bisexual population to increase the number of their partners.

Isn’t that teaching the wrong grammar?
Oh Calen81, we hardly knew ye.

I spend not one moment thinking about your topic.

She needs to take a Psychology 101 course. Young kids are just starting to get attracted to the opposite sex. Do people not know this very basic fact? Wow, and this person teaches? Scary.

To an extent, children are programmed as are computers. Garbage in, garbage out. And those throwing the garbage in will one day answer for it. It won't be pretty.

The biggest portion of the LGBTQ community is the Bs...who often end up married to the opposite sex and have children. There are a lot of people out there who have some level of same sex attraction but just don’t make it publicly known or ever actually try it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was 50% especially as the Q merely means questioning.

Are you saying you would have gender dysphoria if someone merely mentioned it was a possibility to you?

Basically the kids that used to be bullied as sissies, *****, tomboys, etc. Nothing really new except for acceptance of it rather than bullying.
