This is why no one invites you to parties.

If you look at the US that means the amount of gays has not increased in many years

I don't think Kinsey was correct.

[ptif219]

I don't think Kinsey was correct.

So you think the gay population is growing?

So you think the gay population is growing?

No, I think it's small.

The survey didn't ask people what they do....it asked how they identify. That's a critical difference.

Notice the highest percentage is bi-sexual

Some people think that the other letters will wise up and throw the T's out, as they clearly dont belong.

I am not optimistic...there is no end to the current insanity in sight.

Truth and reason are VERY out of fashion.

Notice the age groups and the countries. If you spend a few years telling kids they're fire engines they will identify as fire engines.

As is science and rationality.

The whole point of all of this is the "T"s. Without them you don't have discord.

I am a God Damn Eastern mystic but the WOKE lose me when they get to "Reality does not matter, we make the world with our minds if we believe hard enough".

Um NO....that's insanity, and it hurts like a motherfucker.

About nine percent of adults from around the world identify themselves as LGBTQ+, according to a new global survey released Thursday.

The new survey conducted by Ipsos found that three percent of those around the world identify themselves as lesbian or gay, four percent as bisexual, .9 percent as pansexual and .9 percent as asexual. The survey noted that those in Generation Z — people born after 1997 — were more than twice as likely to identify as bisexual, pansexual or asexual than Millenials and more than four times as likely than those in Generation X and Baby Boomers.

Studies compare behavior between generation gaps trained to ignore the self evident way life evolves in plain sight so every generation corrupted by the beliefs genetics doesn't eternally separate the numbers present, educated self deception increases geometrically each generation gap repeating history over and over expecting better days each rotation of the planet evolving never exceeded the moment here as numbers remain ancestrally changing the entire population each 5 generation gaps adding each ancestries last great great grandchild already born so far.

Nothing done in speculation, admits to things self evidently here. If fact, actual life is against the rule of law to discuss in public arena of ideas even on message boards in cyberspace.

I for the most part believe the number, although I have no way of knowing if it's dead on.

It's nature's way of trying to reduce overpopulation, perhaps.
We need more ways, though.
The planet cannot provide an acceptable standard of living to the number of people on it.

I refuse to use the term "LGBTQ+" or any other iteration of it if/when the subject arises during the course of normal conversation.

I just use the term "alphabet people" or "alphabets".

I think it's kind of self centered and inconsiderate to expect everyone else to recite an awkward, tongue twisting string of discordant, inharmonious sounding letters, just for the sake of inclusion.

A string which keeps getting longer BTW, as this one group continues to grow while expecting society to bow to their demands.

And honestly, what's so bad about just using the word "gay" as a blanket term to cover everyone? It's quicker and easier to say and everyone knows what you mean.

Is it specific to each and every preference? No, it's not. But so what?

In the spirit of harmony and goodwill, one would think they could relax their strident insistence on what is basically a minor point.

Why do they have to split hairs like that and expect the rest of us to do the same?

So I just don't do it.

I'm not going to be told what I have to say.

[NiftyNiblick]

I'll go as far as LGBT, but anything after that is too much nonsense for me.
