Try fucking a cactus. Not only will you be a deviant, but people will look at you with a new respect.

I must be the most normal one to have ever posted in this enormously gigantic thread.

Peter Thomas · Thu 27/01/2005 06:21:36

Nonsense! Utter, complete nonsense.

But this is becoming "enourmously gigantic" I would agree. Almost gigantic enough to win a certain person a certain "Biggest surprise 'coming out of the closet' " FOREGO Award?

Ah, and now we see the motivation for the entirety of the devious "Gay Agenda^Â©."

I didn't try to HIDE it.... It just never really came up is all...

Andail · Thu 27/01/2005 14:37:50

nah, but if people continue to reply in this arbitrary manner, we might move it to popular or something...

A fiery discussion is fine, it's the unstructured and uninspired aftermath that bothers me

Well, sir, I certainly fail to see where your comments add to the discussion at all.

I haven't much more to say upon the subject at the moment, but someone brought up an interesting question. I wonder how a demographic map would look, taking locations and stances on homosexuality into account. In most forums, I couldn't care less and would certainly not give two shites about a public survey. However, this place's beliefs interest me as this is one of the more thoughtful groups I've come across (with an exception for DG of course).

Edit by Andail: I'm a moderator, I reply and comment where it pleases me, thank you very much

What about the "10 % of the population is gay" stalement? Do you think that percentage repeats everywhere? That should demostrate it's not a matter of education but better something in your DNA, like being blonde or with green eyes (I am not saying that's a "bad gen" like the ones that makes people be a psycho killer or something, if someone want to aks, ok?)

I would really like to see those graphics, as Yak said.

JimmyShelter · Fri 28/01/2005 11:06:28

Btw does anyone have a good source for the 10% figure? Seems a bit high. Or I have a lot of friends & family that's still in the closet.

Edit: I meant 10, not 1 :

Nacho · Fri 28/01/2005 12:03:51

Wow... If you think 1% is high, imagine the figure I've heard... Actually, 10% would mean that of 2,500 agsers, 250 are gays. We only have 2 identified, so, come one guys! Get out of the closet!

PaulSC · Fri 28/01/2005 12:16:31

It seems the 10% thing is a popular myth based on some old, misguided research. I think the recent researsh suggests the average figure for people who are exclusively homosexual is closer to 1% or 2%.

That shouldn't really change anything, though.

Nacho · Fri 28/01/2005 12:35:53

As a fan of the Dyscovery channel's mythbusters series, I am really opened to agree when everybody comes busting a myth, specially if you've seen revent researches... I am not sure of the "exclusively homosexual" thing... Are you talking of bisexuals?

But then, still 23 agsers who are in the closet... ^_^

InCreator · Fri 28/01/2005 13:10:06

Right. To avoid enourmous threads like this, let's add "sexual orientation" to the agsforums registration! Something like

Are you:

* hetero-
* bi-
* homosexual, or...
* in the closet yet?

Then we have a clear picture.
Just imagine if there's really 250 guys around there to come out from closet one day! with all the debates along! d-d-disaster! Forums would be down again for a week. And then again... :'( 250 times in a row?

BernieLaraemie · Fri 28/01/2005 14:49:52

Actually, research I'd seen said that 10% of people were born with the gene that 50% of the time causes homosexuality.

And, as for the 250 of 2, 500 AGSers, I think that perhaps gays flock to certain thing and not others. Not all the time, but there are more gay men in fashion, music etc. then say sports.

Not to say it never happens, myself and Peter as examples, but perhaps programming and making isn't a gay niche.

THen again, I believe both Peter and I are musician. . .and of course art is gay stereotype too:)

Just some varied opinions,

Yah, and you're the pinnacle of thought. Just take a look at my sig!

Blackthorne · Fri 28/01/2005 19:38:07

Okay, that whole genetic-homesexuality thing is just bullshit. I'm sorry. I went to school with a set of identical twins.

Later in life, one came out of the closet - the other is still resolutely hetero. So, which one is lying?
