why are more minority's gay

I have not read any post by the OP that didn't fit that bill. I think the whole point is to stir the pot for no damn reason or attempt at actually considering the flow of conversation to revamp some ideas. That's why I stopped engaging. It's exhausting and they travel in packs to validate one another's very myopic "perspectives" of the real world.

But good luck anyway!

 

But why?

Do you think a poll on a message forum is going to help you understand the science?

 

I live in Maine, Trust me it must just be your experience cause in Maine there are way more white gays?

 

Oh, I think my theory can be proven and about a thread that says there are more Black gays, your theory was it's "natures way of ending a bad genetic code". No, not racist at all, it's science.

 

There are a lot of people here and someone might have a clue or reasonable suggestion instead of being butt hurt and whinning

 

Who is whining?

I am interested in knowing what your current scientific opinion is.

 

They all like the white meat.. above all else.

 

We definitely need some more polls to verify this result before we draw any conclusions.
"According to Gallup, their survey is the largest single study of the distribution of the U.S. LGBT population on record, including some 120,000 interviews conducted between June 1 and Sept. 30, 2012.

Though no link was made to its findings on race, Gallup's report also indicated that identification as LGBT is highest among Americans with the lowest levels of education and among those in the lowest income groups, findings that differ from smaller studies of its kind."

Its results have not been duplicated, and at least on income and education, so far this poll is the outlier. These interviews all happened within 4 months, all of them were in the U.S., and they are all over ten years old.

I am curious to see a breakdown of this polling data by age and religion.

 

I my self feel that income or poverty has little to nothing to do with it. And feel its genetic. I dont think most people make a choice based on desire but natural birth genetics as science points. Most people are born with a genetic preference and thats it .

 

And maybe 1-2% aren't, that means sometimes they gotta pick a team and if one team looks like losers....

 

All the trends I saw could be explained by groups being more likely to be democrats (women, east and west coast, minorities), and other groups less likely to be in denial of their sexuality. People taught to be ashamed of homosexual or bisexual behavior try to fake it until they make it. And what easier way to fake it than give the answer you want to be true on a poll?

 

Who said so?
Is it really true?

 

Well said!

 

I thought homosexuality was 'genetic'? Isn't that the argument? That it's not contagious?

 

The numbers are definitely a result of a higher proportion of lesbians. It's not male homosexuality causing that difference, no way. Minorities are generally less tolerant of gay males, than whites are.

As for women choosing lesbianism because they can't find a man .. sorry, no. If she's doing that, she was never straight.

We get cats (or dogs, or a hobby) if we can't find a man. We don't take to the carpet.

 

It’s not but the concept of recognizing you’re gay is.

 

How would

 

Well what does LGBT identity mean anymore. You can call yourself all sorts of meaningless gobbledygook like "asexual, alosexual, demisexual gender fluid" and that's just scratching the surface. They are LGBT identities for people who aren't really LGBT. I wonder how many are in that camp.

 

If we knew why, maybe we could find a cure.

 

many whites do not want to come out of the closet and buy trophy wives to hide it?

 

The survey did not actually ask them if they were "gay". It asked them if they were any of the following: "lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender" with a simple yes or no question.

To have more useful scientific data, there would have to be a breakdown by specifics and gender. That might give a better idea of what is going on.

The survey perhaps should also ask if the father was around, to see if that correlated with any of the data.

 

I suspect a badly flawed basic assumption.

Consider how nearly every TV commercial you see features Black men with White women! If advertising paradigms really do reflect reality, then I certainly don't see the "gay" piece being amplified with much fervor....
