    Bla-bla-bla-bla...
    How much do they pay you to dictate me how I should live and think?
    Since pro-administrators are ignorant all my complains about trolling from you and others, I am more now "hit and run" on gay forums.
    It will do more damage, since it's I am no longer engage in discussion with trolls.

    I have seen numbers like this and as high as 10%. While polls like this are useful we need to be cautious with them, how accurate are they? Who knows how many answer truthfully or how they were conducted. Personally I find it hard to believe it's as low as 2%. I think 10% is prolly more like it and no that would not include "experimenters" or "confused". I also think bisexuals should be a separate group as they are unique in that they can go either way. If we included those who experiment, the confused, and bisexuals, we might be looking at numbers approaching 25% or higher!

    I would say you really are reaching there. Perhaps in certain areas and maybe where you reside there is a high gay population. Certain areas such as SF and Seattle have a higher gay population than other areas so you might be basing your observations froma very small area.

    You are not challenging me, you are following me and harassing me. You dictating me over and over, who I am, what I should do and think.
    You are getting away with that because you are pro gay.
    Administrators?

    BTW, looks like you are extremely bothered about what I think do you?
    So, what do you challenge? My right to think what I want to think?!

    Many of us knew we were attracted to the same sex long before we knew about "sex". When the other girls in my second grade class had crushes on the boys, I had a secret crush on one little girl. I didn't learn about sex until I was 12. Like so many people have been saying...it's all about ATTRACTION!!!

    How about making sense and basing your commentary upon 'reality'? (It might help.)

    Reality: Johnny, like me, & everyone else, was created by a mother and a father.

    Reality: Statistically, ex-homosexual & ex gay rights leader, Michael Glatz is correct in saying, "Homosexuality is death & I choose life."
    http://www.cdc.gov/stdconference/2000/m ... ay2000.htm
    http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/doc
    Homosexuals have more health issues than even those other minority groups who have suffered much more harassment.

    Reality: There is no gay gene.

    Reality: Nobody is born with ANY sexual preference (babies are not sexual)... infact, at birth, our brains are only 1/4 developed, so we can better adapt to environmental influences - again supporting the fact that homosexual PREFERENCES are indeed learned preferences, not inborn.

    Reality: The APA changed the definition of homosexuality, not because of scientific research, but because of gay lobbyist harrassment.
    http://www.freewebs.com/theborngayhoax/theapa.htm

    Reality: Anatomically... the anus is an exit - not an entrance. When it is used as an entrance, as in anal sex, even in 2 healthy adults, there are risks of anal fissures, bacterial infection, anal cancer & colon rupture.

    Reality: Those with same-sex preferences already have marriage rights under cohabitation agreements & common law marriage. The only reason to try to legally change the definition of marriage to include sexual deviations, is to legally force society to honor their sexual deviations.

    Reality: In places where gay marriage has been made legal, others' rights have been infringed upon...

    IE's:
    *Freshmen were told not to tell their parents about a pro-gay seminar & were required to sign a confidentiality agreement (Derrfield, Illinois Mar. 2007).
    *In March, 2007, a Massachusetts high school banned parents from attending a seminar for students on how they can know they are homosexual.
    *In October, 2008, First graders (6 year-old students) were taken on a field trip to watch their lesbian teacher's wedding.
    *In Oct 2008, a Hayward CA public elementary school celebrated "Coming Out Day."

    Normalizing & even encouraging children to explore homosexuality obviously causes more to experiment with homosexuality.
    "The Legal Liability Associated with Homosexuality Education in Schools... This report is part of an integrated strategy to inform and educate parents, students and school officials across the nation of its contents and of their respective rights and duties. It has documented the concern that the health of students in many schools across the country may have been compromised and their First Amendment rights may have been denied."
    http://www.afamichigan.org/images/Legal ... 200504.pdf

    Also, others' rights have been infringed upon in favor of supporting gay rights.
    *In April 2008, an Albuquerque photographer was fined over $6,000 for refusing to be hired to photograph a lesbian couple's commitment ceremony.
    *In May, 2008, a black administrator was fired from the U of Toledo, Ohio, for writing an editorial objecting to the comparison of black discrimination to same-sex marriage.
    *An intolerant opponent of Proposition 8 even violently attacked & injured a Proposition supporter in Oct. 2008.
    *On November 19, 2008, eHarmony, a Christian-based matching service was forced by New Jersey's Division on Civil Rights to provide website matching services for homosexuals.

    When such a small percentage of the population demands legal special attention and priviledges, for engaging in harmful behavior, it must be considered for the reality of which it is.

    ... and?
    Those who speak of a "gay gene" often have a simplistic understanding of genetics, or are using the term broadly because they don't feel like getting into the complexities. The jury's not out on the case in any event. Nor does something have to be strictly "genetic" to be biological, congenital, and inflexible.
    You might think this would result in more homosexuals growing up in gay-friendly countries vs gay-intolerant ones.... yet this isn't the case. Young in most animal species are non-sexual until a certain age, that doesn't stop them from preferring heterosexuality the vast majority of the time... we have biological drives for that purpose. Male and female brains DO develop differently, and respond differently to different stimuli, and the differentiation starts well before birth. And there is evidence of brain and behavior differentiation in heterosexuals vs homosexuals:

    http://viewzone2.com/homosexual.html
    It helped get the question on the table, no doubt, but there was discussion and research on the topic leading up to that decision as well, research that favored homosexuals.
    Lesbian's have the least risk of STD's and other health issues over all, so are you saying all women should be lesbians? And not all gay men have anal sex.
    Is that kinda like forcing the Catholic Church to honor the marriage of people who were previously divorced, or mormons to honor the marriage of those who were not sealed in the temple?

    You're free to disagree with anyone's marriage, that doesn't mean you can stop from getting a civil marriage without good cause.
    Tangental topics that have more to do with what society can and can't legislate, not so much to do with homosexuality itself. Discrimination and the over-stepping of bounds can happen on all sides.
