Well, well....
But still it does make one wonder, "Why'd admit it at all? Why'd admit it now?"

2.8% admitting to being homosexual and 10% actually being homosexual is not necessarily a conflict.
At least not unless you think everyone tells polsters the truth about their sex lives.

If this were 1948 and 2.8% admitted it, you might be right. But 2003?
I don't know. Given that city governments and businesses are extending benefits to the "life partners" of homosexuals, I would imagine there are a number of heterosexual guys living together saying they're gay for the bennies.

The number is virtually certain to be higher (and that quote is also misrepresented from its context in the brief, which I've read). Some 5% identify themselves as gay or lesbian in U.S. election exit polls, and that's probably slightly understating the numbers. In the Netherlands, 8% of all marriages are now homosexual marriages.

I thought 2% were admitted homosexuals and the other 98% just surpress it....

I think it was just last week that there was an article on homosexuality in Iceland. It went on to state that the gay population of Iceland was 1.5%.
I have read that the gay population in the US is in the 1 to 2% range, and the Iceland story, where they claimed to have accurate data, would tend to confirm that. I don't think that cold weather reduces homosexuality, although it likely cuts down on public park cruising during the Winter months (all 11 of them).

This has nothing to do with gays, but when I saw the photo of the kid kissing the Wall in the fund-raising post I got tears in my eyes.
When I finally went to the Wall - I put it off because so many of my friends are on it and so much of my youth is written on it - I broke down. Some other veterans - volunteers I guess, they had beards and their old hats on - came over to me and talked to me until I could go on. They said it happened all the time and it was a normal reaction.
Never forget all of those who died to make certain that Communism would never rule the world. NEVER.

Perhaps not. Maybe they vote in higher percentages?

In the Netherlands, 8% of all marriages are now homosexual marriages. Since the Netherlands only recently legalized gay marriages, it would be expected that they would have higher percentages in the first years.

There have been reverse polls of gays & lesbians asking how many voted in a given election, and the figure if I recall correctly was not much different than the 50% nationwide turnout. Even if 80% of homosexuals voted, that would still put their percentage of the overall population at over 4% - even assuming that every one of them discloses to exit pollsters (and, keep in mind the VNS exit polls didn't ask anything about bisexuals or whether one had had homosexual sex without actually identifying as gay or lesbian..)

Why not they got what they wanted "sodomy" is a civil right, and no closing that barn door.
To: cinFLA
Higher percentages than what? It's true that there was almost certainly some backlog of Dutch homosexuals waiting to get married but it's also likely that there are a substantial number of closeted homosexuals who reduce the pool of potential marriages as well as a lower percentage of homosexuals who desire marriage versus the general population.
