How Many Americans Are Lesbian, Gay or Bisexual? (Answer: Not that many)
New York Times ^ | July 21, 2014 | JAN HOFFMAN

As it has for decades, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week released its annual National Health Interview Survey on the health of Americans. But this year, there was a difference: For the first time, the respondents were asked about their sexual orientation.

Of 34,557 adults ages 18 and older, the survey reported, 1.6 percent said they were gay or lesbian. Some critics say the numbers are low, but they fall in the range of other surveys. In the new survey, however, only 0.7 percent of respondents described themselves as bisexual; other studies have reported higher numbers.

And they have control of the media, so they can create the illusion that there are a lot more of them than there really are.

You gotta break the numbers down more. The infiltration during the last four decades of govt. jobs all the way to the WH, the entertainment industry and Mass Media by homosexuals (both female and male) is where the disinformation comes from regarding a much larger % being homosexual. Couple that with sob stories, many of which were made up to fit the Queer Agenda, have pushed it through to where we are now - Thank you, Ellen, for being the spokesqueer for America and all who have followed you into nearly every show we see on tv today. Foolish non-gay people enable what is going on in classrooms, churches, workplace, and just about anywhere people gather. STOP THE MADNESS!!!

I think popular culture has been brainwashed that “we are born this way.” When it seems that young boys were molested and then changed, and young women, are more fluid, and were just experimenting, as the popular saying goes, “I tried it in college.”

Quick story:

Working as an actor some 30 years ago in a touring theater company, the cast went out for a few cocktails.

Sitting at the bar, the producer who was gay, put his hand on my thigh.

This being my first lead role I didn't want to insult him. Especially because he signed the paychecks.

I gingerely lifted his hand off my leg and told him I was a flaming heterosexual.

Later that year, when the run was over, I nailed his younger sister. In his house!

Apoplexy doesn't come close to what happened to him!

oh, I meant 12% of the country, gay or straight. The film industry unfairly represents and hires.

This is why they recruit all the time. This is why they propagandize on TV and in the movies.
They want MORE of them for more political power.

Pretty much accurate - I have known many women who’ve told me they “used to be lesbians” - they were just young and experimenting with “being progressive” In the end, women want children - homosexuality is abhorrent to nature. Committed gays are dysfunctional and mentally retarded in some pathological way

Every vote counts though so that's why the democrats pander to them. In Obama's case - he's queer too so he's not pandering, he's looking out for "his people"

Then why the hell are they do dammed effective in causing so many of us so much damn grief!

You may not like the answer.

In Romans 1, after verse 18, the passage spells out the consequences of a society that is undergoing God's judgment.

Homosexuality appears in a society that is slipping into His judgment. One of the reasons is that, people who live in are given a reprobate mind--a mind that cannot understand, and rejects spiritual truth. It is so bad, says Romans 1, that people think evil is good, and good evil.

Then:

"26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."

For obvious reasons, Big Lib Media has an agenda in making seem there’s far more homosexuals than there are. For many years ten percent was the number quoted. Just think about it. If it actually were ten percent, wouldn’t average people have known about it?

Pretty much every scientific survey that I've seen reports total figures for homosexuals and bisexuals at about 2-3% (so this one has 1.6% homo + .7 bi = 2.3, right ballpark). Not a single study has confirmed anything close to Kinsey's BS figure of over 10%, but this doesn't stop homosexual activists from repeating the obvious lie.

The fact is, you don't need a study to know that 2-3% is much closer to reality than 10%. Personal experience with people will suffice. I can believe that in a random sample of 100 people, two or three are homosexual or some other sort of sexual deviant. I know that the number isn't going to be ten or more.
