According
to a 2011 Gallup poll, Americans thought that 25 percent of the population was
gay (meaning one out of every four people), while those aged 18-29 put the
figure at closer to 30 percent (meaning almost one in every three people). The
reality is that less than 2 percent of the population is gay (meaning fewer
than one in 50 people), and many gay leaders know this is true.
People of America, you have been duped.
For many years,
we were told that "one in every 10 Americans" was gay, a figure based
on the massively flawed 1948 study of Alfred Kinsey. (Kinsey actually relied on
data from male prisoners to come up with his statistics.)
Even though gay
activists knew
the figure was inflated, they used it as a convenient lie, since, as two
leading gay strategists noted in the late 1980s, "there is strength in numbers." (For
details, go here.) As
expressed by a gay leader a few days ago, "The truth is,
numbers matter, and political influence matters."
In other words,
if Americans realized that less than 2 percent of the population was gay rather
10 percent (let alone 25 percent), they would have a very different view of "gay rights."
To be sure, it is wrong to bully or oppress or
mistreat anyone based on gender or ethnicity or romantic attractions, so that
is not the question. And whether gays are 1 percent of the population or 90
percent, they should not be mistreated.
