Friday night on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 Degrees, the lead story was on a counseling clinic owned by presidential candidate Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and her husband. Cooper spoke of "allegations that the clinic engages in so-called reparative therapy," described by Cooper as "based on the theory that gay people can be turned into heterosexuals through a combination of prayer and willpower." The host's use of "so-called" set the stage for CNN political analyst Paul Begala to fulminate.
Using the word "crackpot" to characterize reparative therapy no fewer than nine times, Begala insisted Mrs. Bachmann should be interrogated:
BEGALA: She should be asked about this theory. She's a candidate for president. One out of 10 Americans is gay. She should be asked if she wants to lead a country where at least 10 percent of us are gay or lesbian, does she believe in this crackpot, bigoted theory that somehow there's something to be repaired in our brothers and sisters and sons and daughters who happen to be born gay?
Are "at least 10 percent" of Americans homosexual, to use a word that's not politically correct this season? In a word: no.
That figure, long used by activists, has been debunked repeatedly over the years. Obviously, no one can say with certainty what the actual numbers are, but one analysis that gathered data from four recent national and two state-level population-based surveys concluded that about 1.7 percent of the population are lesbian or gay. Another 1.8 percent of the population identify as bisexual.
The research came last April from the UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute, which defines itself as "a leading think tank dedicated to the field of sexual orientation and gender identity-related law and public policy."

More than 10% of liberals. Since homos are around atm most 2% of the population, and 90% are liberals...
Dude. 20% of the population is liberal. 10% of them are gay. 2%. Max.
I didn’t express myself well... I meant 90% of homos are liberals.
If the US was 90% liberal I’d go live in some far away remote corner of the world.
“based on the theory that gay people can be turned into heterosexuals through a combination of prayer and willpower.”

They can be, I’ve seen it first hand several times.
Homosexuality is a choice and often gays are victims of child abuse.
“Dude. 20% of the population is liberal. 10% of them are gay. 2%. Max.”
Straight, gay, left, right, conservative, liberal, Republican, Democrat, Christian, Jew, barbarian, whatever....
After 35 years of research and a few minutes on Google, I can say with absolute scientific certainty that there are, in this disgusting and diverse world of ours, precisely 10 kinds of people:
Those who understand binary...
...and those who don’t.
You, my good man, understand.
A binary 10 percent is 2 percent.
ROFL. Smackdown PYF! Good job!
HUGS (but in a totally straight way). ;)
Thanks!
And the hug is appreciated, my friend.
Ditto. :)
A bunch of surveys have been done show that it’s between 1.5 and 2.3%, IIRC. And it’s fluid, since people “decide” they’re homosexual, and plenty of people “decide” they aren’t any more.
Of course all these statistics and estimates will be moot come 2014 when Obamacare is fully imposed.
That is because each of us will be fitted, at taxpayer expense, with two USB (Universal Sexual Bus) ports. One for sending. One for receiving.
And fabulously fab, unicorns and rainbows... we will FINALLY ALL BE COMPATIBLE.
(Slutty people and men from Utah will need a router implant as well.)
And under the rules of Orrin Hatch’s “Can’t Touch Dis” amendment, government workers will be forced to locate at least one of the ports in that spot in the middle of your back that nobody but mosquitoes are able to reach. Otherwise, they would not have ANY time left to abuse the citizenry instead of themselves.
The Census has consistently recorded the gay population as 1-2% in rural areas and 2-3% in urban areas. Hollywood and the statist news organizations seem to claim anywhere from 10-25% based on comments like Begala or the average number of gays that one will see in an average movie. This is nothing more than projection of their life onto the rest of us. Unfortunately, they have succeeded in convincing the average Joe (that doesn’t really pay much attention to anything) that the gay population is huge, when it is not. From a biological perspective, any species that has a substantial portion that does not reproduce because of sexual preference would be short lived. But why let facts get in the way, when it is so easy to make stuff up in modern times.
“From a biological perspective, any species that has a substantial portion that does not reproduce because of sexual preference would be short lived.”
Which is why God, Whose main currency of blessing is measured in offspring, pronounced such strict punishment for those of His chosen people who decided to plant dead branches into the bloodline of the prophesied Savior.
Pruning.
When I was a teen, I used to browse used book stores, of which there were many in my city. I remember picking up a book called, IIRC, "The Fifth Man", written by a homosexual male. Predictably, it claimed that 20% of the male population was 'gay'. That was back in the mid-sixties, so this kind of propaganda has been going on for a long time.
I think Kinsey, the homosexual propagandist, claimed an even higher number. His work has been thoroughly discredited, but the myth lives on.
He meant 10% of liberals.
That would be more like 90%
Between 3 and 4% sounds about right.
The bad news is that it adds up to about 10,850,000 very loud, obnoxious and despicable perverts, for the most part.
The reason everyone should carry a bottle of hand sanitizer and use it often when out in public
Among other findings, Kinsey concluded that 85% of American men had intercourse before marriage, 30-45% had extramarital relations, 70% had sex with prostitutes, as many as 37% had engaged in homosexual acts and 10% were exclusively
homosexual. From the latter comes the myth, endlessly repeated by the gay lobby, that one in 10 Americans is a homosexual. (The figure is actually closer to 1 to 2%.)
Kinseys method was to science what rape is to romance. The University of Indiana academician set out to validate certain conclusions, and rigged the evidence to prove his case.
For instance, when he couldnt get enough married women to talk about their sex lives, he redefined married woman as living with a man for more than a year.
Prostitutes were also included in his study of female sexuality a fact Kinsey failed to disclose in his book.
Similarly, Kinseys study of American males included disproportionate numbers of prisoners especially sex offenders. Again, according to Jones, convicts constituted as much as 25 percent of Kinseys subjects.
Jones writes: In fact, he had devoted much of his time to interviewing members of the underclass, including drug addicts, alcoholics, prostitutes, pimps, gamblers and the
like.
The sexual revolution was launched with research based on data drawn from the dregs of society.

There is a reason why “Gay” will never appear on the Census.
By, "us", he must mean short, white, Liberals with heads the size of The Great Gazoo's.
