Then let gays stay away from pastors and ministers that stand on their faith when it comes to marriage. Jesus said marriage was a man and a woman`

jesus = meaningless to rights, laws and freedom
many ministers and pastors support equal rights and thier faith is not in any jeopardy

again nobody educated, honest and objective will ever by this strawman, it will only get laughed at

do you have any facts to support your claim and that override the laws, rights and court cases that prove otherwise?

I say "...in your estimation" because, as someone else said in another thread, not all gay people are willing to admit it (for reasons of their own), so the best stats we have are most likely incomplete.

Note also, bi-sexual, bi-curious, etc., are not included in the question. Straight (pun only slightly intended :mrgreen:) gay only.

I haven't voted because sexuality isn't a dualist concept. There's no straight/gay dichotomy. Are you asking who you believe has ever been attracted to a member of their own gender, or someone who has ever only had sexual relations with members of their own gender, plus who self-identifies as gay? The definition of the word gay is crucial, because if you define it one way you'll get a stat perhaps 10 or 20-times greater than if you define it another way.

Please be more specific.

I can't either. Some homosexual men became homosexual men because they were sodomized as a child by an adult.

The gay numbers can shrink if we institute the death penalty for male on male statutory rape. I firmly believe that.

The gay numbers can grow if we encourage men to manipulate young boys in a vulnerable position to engage in sex with them.

They are separate issues but it is aggravating that homosexuals can be recruited as children.

About 75% of women and <5% of men, including bisexuals.

I think the vast majority of women are bisexual, but generally, men have no sexual interest in other men.

I have lived in France for 4 years. There the number is the same but about 85% of men have sex with other men, but not in a gay way.

I have never understood the French mentality.

That's very funny! Could you describe how a man could have sex with another man 'not in a gay way'? I'd be fascinated to know what constitutes having sex in a gay way, as I may have been doing it wrong all these years.

I've never understood the heterosexual mentality.

I thought that was pretty funny to. Fact is if a man is having sex with another man it is gay sex. There really is no way around that.

Don't watch this video at 0:57 - 1:42



I'm sorry but I believe that man that raped Ted Haggard should have had his left arm chopped off the first year, his right arm chopped off the second year, his left leg chopped off the third year, his right leg chopped off the fourth year, he should have been beat repeatedly every day for the next five years, then he should sit in prison for one more year in solitary confinement and then he should be executed in the 11th year.

You probably think that he deserves a medal for recruiting another gay to support your disgusting agenda. Am I wrong?

Rape is a serious crime regardless of who the victims and rapists are.

It has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's sexual orientation, however. It's just as stupid to declare that all straight men are likely to commit rape as it is to declare that all gay men are.

I don't understand your claim. How does a man "have sex with other men, but not in a gay way"?

Be careful. Don't watch the video. It will turn you gay. By the way, I forgot to thank you for not watching it.

Thanks for not watching the video like I told you. It was smart for you to listen to me.

I'm just suggesting that a child that has pleasant consensual gay sex with a grown man will become gay. I'm not saying that all gay men have pleasant consensual sex with little 7 year old boys.

I'd probably say that accounts for less than 0.1% of gay men. Ted Haggard enjoyed the sex he had as a 7 year old boy. I doubt that he was going to call the police.

Statutory rape rarely gets reported. The 0.1% figure might be too low. I do not believe Ted Haggard would have became gay on his own. He was recruited and I don't like that.

Would you care to retract this statement? If not that means you have given yourself a license to lie.

Do you want to retract your lie or let it stand?

Sorry, but I absolutely don't agree that a child can give informed consent to sex in the same way an adult can. Especially not at age 7.

Statutory rape is still rape, although it becomes rather meaningless if an individual is only days away from their 18th birthday.

I agree too but a pedophile has a different view of reality than you and I. I'm just saying that most child abuse isn't violent or forceful. They still deserve the type of punishment that I described earlier.

Translation: you still cant back up your claims.
thank you for proving that.

Please let us know when you can, thank you.

nothing to retract, it simply shows you dont understand the topic. Your OPINION on the subject doesnt impact anything and thank you for yet another failed post

i will ask you again what disgusting agenda are you referring to
 
I'm not sure what the purpose of this thread is. I'm pretty sure national studies have been done that give a fairly accurate answer to this question. Why does it matter what anyone's guess about the answer is?

I think the number of people who are gay (not bi) is pretty low. Less than 2% but I'd guess that number to be 10% or so if you include bi and probably 40% or more if you include bi-curious.
 
Clearly this is such an important issue that the question should be included on the census forms. How else can the government keep track to ensure that government services are allocated fairly?
 
I dont even believe that most gays are gay. They just are types in need of identity for the most part.

I will try to do my best to explain it but I am a simple straight British bloke so not sufficiently cultured to get it right. Not like the French do.....

If a man flounces about and has a gay relationship with another man then that's gay (I think...).

If a manly man goes "hunting" with his best mate and they have a good old time in the woods shooting off and making bangs without the need to clean their shotguns later then that's not gay. Although it may look it from the stupid Anglo perspective.

There, I did my best.....
