Urban Legend: Homosexuals claim they make up 10% of the population
OP - October 27, 2009, 06:13 PM

I was surfing the magical world of the internets looking for demographics data about homosexuality and I found this precious piece of information:

Exposed: The Myth That "10% Are Homosexual"
While homosexuals claim they make up 10% of the population, the reality is closer to 1-2%.

While homosexuals claim they make up 10% of the population, the reality is closer to 1-2 percent A NEWLY RELEASED REPORT from the Centers for Disease Control's National Center for Health Statistics reveals that only 2.3% of the population considers themselves homosexual. The statistics come from a 2002 National Survey of Family Growth and are based on 12,571 interviews with men and women ages 15-44 years of age. (The findings were reported in WorldNetDaily, September 16, 2005).

According to this survey, only 2.3% of the males surveyed considered themselves to be homosexuals; 1.8% considered themselves to be bisexuals. Among men ages 18-44, 92% said they were attracted "only to females" and 3.9% "mostly" to females. Among women, 86% said they were attracted only to males, and 10% "mostly" to males.

Lol WTF?!

I wonder if they actually did the math before writing that "article"

Do not look directly at the operational end of the device.

What does it matter how many people are gay anyway? Btw, talking of homosexuality, did you know Richard Dawkins turned Ted Haggard gay?

I've been getting letters asking why I haven't updated the Dawkins Watch since 2006, especially since Dr. Dawkins has been very busy in the mean time: he's been spreading destruction with more aggressively anti-God propaganda like the "documentary" The Root of All Evil? (which drove former pastor Ted Haggard into mental illness and depraved sin)

Its on a Christian web site, so it must be true.

I love that the Wikipedia entry for Ted Haggard actually links to the archives of his site and the New Life Church's site via his site, from way back in 2003 on through the scandal in November 2006 and on till mid 2008.
