I don't believe it. The LGBT club came to do a presentation in my health class, and I don't believe the statistic that 1 in 10 people are gay.

I could see 1/20 or more likely 1/30.

What do you think S&A?

Who gives a shit if someone is gay or not, or how many out of how many people are gay. It really doesnt bother me if someone is gay or not, as long as they dont start hitting on me, then i'll tell them to fuck off. In a nice way.

Statistics like that are dumb. The testing pools wouldn't be random enough to get accurate results. Also, the results wouldn't be trust worthy in many areas, because being gay is seen as wrong.

Your LGBT club is undereducated. Kinsey's report didn't say "1 in 10 people are gay" unless you're looking at it from the perspective of targets of homophobia, it found that 1 in 10 people have had homosexual experiences. Most of the recent studies find about 5% - or the 1 in 20 you note - LGB demographics.

Now, for added fun... try to figure out what percentages of your classmates are pedophiles, zoophiles, necrophiles, or plushiesex fans! You'll be surprised!!

Their results are probably based on questions like "have you ever had a homosexual fantasy?"

Might not be accurate from the definition of open gay people, but if they count all the people who WOULD be gay if it wouldn't mean certain death/outcasting/assault (not saying anything about societal conditioning to the effect of repression) then they might be low.

depends on your definition of gay

according to my 10 year old neighbour anyone who comes into contact with a skoda is gay

apparently the lamp post down the road got hit by a skoda and now its a gay lamp post and anyone who touches it is gay

he spends at least 20 minuets a day taunting the gay lamp post

just some insight into a 10 year olds thought process

Ok I actually lol'd
How do you double the value of a skoda?
Put 10p on the dashboard.

This is the 9th post in this thread, that means the next person is GAY.

... :(

I considered being gay...but I ike pussy too damn much.

You are an idiot. What a dumb post.

You are an idiot. What a dumb post.

Yeah, I also find it quite gay that he actually considered being gay.

I believe its 1/5 that are bi-sexual.

Thats just the ones who admit to it........Whats left of you hetro's best keep your backs to the wall.

Why? Gay and bisexual people just go around attempting to slip their penises into your anus constantly? Fuck, what is with these stupid ass comments?

I once had a mindset quite like yours, but then my "gay friend steve" asked me a question. Said question was "what makes you think you are good enough to be hit on by a gay guy?" I have thought about it differently ever since. Just something to think about.

Of course they do. Just as much as straight guys go around slipping their penis' into chicks pussies, regardless of how they look or if they know them or not.

Don't you?

Don't you?

Why would I fucking do that? Do I look like a fucking rapist?

You definitely have that rapey look about you.

wow

that must be a southern thing because no one up here gets it

can you explain it

I'm thinking 1/50. but maybe not.

Nobody is truly gay. It's just a lifestyle choice that they make. i.e. they're sick disgusting people.

Take it from a Fascist. fucking hell, when will you people get it. I'll believe 1/20 people are bi, that makes mroe sense. It's still a choice though, nobody is born a dude wanting to dry assfuck another dude or a chick wanting to shock another chick.

Because it was a stupid ass comment!


Try a humour implant............Dickhead

I don't think anyone can say for 100% sure they are gay or not. It is kind of a scale measure, I think.

For example, I am straight. I like pussy. I have never tried cock, never wanted to try cock, and never been in the situation to even consider wanting cock. Does that mean I don't like cock? I am sure I wouldn't like it, but theres no way I can be sure without trying it, is there? So I would say I am 99% straight.

My wife, god love her, I would say is 75% straight. She likes cock, but the thought of pussy does not disgust her. Even after trying it, she wasn't disgusted. But she still loves the cock.

I don't think anyone here can honestly say they are 100% straight. Those that say that have either tried being gay, and not liked it (but they tried it!), or they just think they are.

So how can some survey say "1 in 10 people are gay"? If they said "1 in 10 of the population is less than 80% sure they are straight", I would believe that more.

I'm just wondering somthing... Does anyone chose to be straight? and when you like 5 y.o. dudes mainly you think girls are all wierd and have cooties and what not and stay away from girls does that mean your gay or at lesat gay at that time? Meh just a thought and will most likely get flamed.

Yes, I would imagine that people when you're someone who likes 5yo dudes, you are not in fact into girls.

Congratulations. You have now been posirepped for a roflcopteric typo. :p

It's definately less than that like 1/15 or something. does that include dykes too?

If it is 1/10 I'm psyked because that means 1/10 guys are gay and a girl needs dick to make up for it. I'm glad I know fractions.

This thread isn't about caring if people are gay or not. OP was just asking if that statistic is true. Shut the fuck up.

Look up the Kinsey scale of sexuality. You'd score a 0 and your wife would score a 1.

"The reports also state that nearly 46% of the male subjects had "reacted" sexually to persons of both sexes in the course of their adult lives, and 37% had at least one homosexual experience. 11.6% of white males (ages 20-35) were given a rating of 3 (about equal heterosexual and homosexual experience/response) throughout their adult lives."

That would roughly tally with the '1 in 10' figure if you counted people who were equally hetero/homosexual as gay. You can say that 1 in 10 are bisexual or gayer, I guess.

The study's not universally held to be reliable by any means, though, there's a fair bit of criticism of it. But if you want to trust it, it's there.

A clip from the "Born Gay?" article in Discover Magazine.

      Whether or not a gay gene, a set of gay genes, or some other biological mechanism is ever found, one thing is clear: The environment a child grows up in has nothing to do with what makes most gay men gay. Two of the most convincing studies have proved conclusively that sexual orientation in men has a genetic cause.
      William Reiner, a psychiatrist at the University of Oklahoma Health Scienes Center, explored the question of enviromental influences on sexuality with a group that had been surgically shifted from boys to girls. These boys had been born with certain genital deformities; because it is easier to fashion a vagina than a penis, the boys were surgically made into girls at birth. In many cases they were raised as girls, kept in the dark about the surgery, and thought themselves female long into adulthood. Invariably, Reiner found that the faux females ended up being attracted to women. If societal nudging was what made men gay, at least one of these boys should have grown up to be attracted to men. There is no documented case of that happening.
      The second study was an examination of twins by psychologist Michael Bailey of Northwestern University. Among identical twins, he found that if one was gay, the other had a 50 percent chance of also being gay. Among fraternal twins, who do not share the same DNA, there was only a 20 percent chance.
      At first glance, those results seem to suggest that at least some homosexuality must not be genetic. Identical twins have the same genes, right? How could one turn out gay and the other not gay as often as 50 percent of the time? There are many other traits that are not always the same in identical twins, however, like eye color and fingerprints. The interesting question is, how do any of these major differences arise between two products of the same code?

And the article goes on to discuss this issue with a scientist's research into methylation, which is what determines whether a certain gene is active (since we have two of each chromosome).

Look up the Kinsey scale of sexuality. You'd score a 0 and your wife would score a 1.

Cheers - I'd never heard of that before.
