If YOUR human rights were 'truncated', it would be a TOP issue for you as well. And... you're foolish if you think that people can only tend to a single political issue.


Like I said, get over it. BTW, the economy is covered daily in the media as well. There are many important issues. I don't expect non-gays to make much noise about gay rights.


You are generally exaggerating. Many different topics are covered in media daily.


We also focus upon the expressions of haters and bigots; we keep an eye on people like that.


Go improve the economy of your choice; it appears that no nation has all the answers to the human problems which exist.

Bla-bla-bla-bla...
How much do they pay you to dictate me how I should live and think?
Since pro-administrators are ignorant all my complains about trolling from you and others, I am more now "hit and run" on gay forums.
It will do more damage, since it's I am no longer engage in discussion with trolls.

the article is a year old but the number is similar to the Gay Times article which I've posted several times.

What is of interest is that there is a number who also report to having engaged in gay sex. Would you count them as being gay?

Do you accept the less than 2% number or should those who engage in gay sex also be counted?

what do you see as the reason that the number is much lower than the 3-5% which has wrongly been tossed around?

I have seen numbers like this and as high as 10%. While polls like this are useful we need to be cautious with them, how accurate are they? Who knows how many answer truthfully or how they were conducted. Personally I find it hard to believe it's as low as 2%. I think 10% is prolly more like it and no that would not include "experimenters" or "confused". I also think bisexuals should be a separate group as they are unique in that they can go either way. If we included those who experiment, the confused, and bisexuals, we might be looking at numbers approaching 25% or higher!

I would say you really are reaching there. Perhaps in certain areas and maybe where you reside there is a high gay population. Certain areas such as SF and Seattle have a higher gay population than other areas so you might be basing your observations froma very small area.

I only challenge you, not 'rule' your life.


LOL!! Okay.


If you cannot offer anything worthwhile, why not simply read posts... rather than creating them?

You are not challenging me, you are following me and harassing me. You dictating me over and over, who I am, what I should do and think.
You are getting away with that because you are pro gay.
Administrators?

BTW, looks like you are extremely bothered about what I think do you?
So, what do you challenge? My right to think what I want to think?!

First and foremost there would be a huge population which is not sexually active and they would be counted which would skew the % downward because they cannot be counted as gay. That is why I asked you straight up when did you announce that you yourself were gay? I bet it wasn't when you were 1,2,3,4,5 6,7,8,9,10,11 etc because sex wasn't even on your mind and you were just hanging out with friends.

So, use your own personal life as a place holder. I also don't like the part of even questioning non adults but that's a moral issue and I believe you kids should be protected

Many of us knew we were attracted to the same sex long before we knew about "sex". When the other girls in my second grade class had crushes on the boys, I had a secret crush on one little girl. I didn't learn about sex until I was 12. Like so many people have been saying...it's all about ATTRACTION!!!

No, just shooting your mouth off.
