1 in 4? I have to think either I'm the most isolated person on the planet or these people don't even look at their own experience at all. I have a total of zero homo friends, friends of friends, coworkers, or acquaintances. At least that I know of. Meaning anyone I've met in person enough that'd I'd recognize them on the street (celebrities excluded of course). 1 in 4?!

On average. Many think most Americans are FGTS.

Looking at the average emasculated American I can see why they'd think that tbh.

It's clear that the "average American" has been fully convinced to disregard their own experience and judgements in favor of whatever the sanctioned experts declare.

Be it diseases, sexuality, or discrimination, they will parrot views that are wildly incongruous with their personal experience once there's enough top-down social pressure.

They've been told that "gay people are everywhere" for so long now, that belief has replaced reality for them.

Correct. There are a few big cities that might have maybe 8% or 10% of the population that is gay, but that’s maybe two cities. A few other cities might be 3-4%. Then the rest of the country is sub 1%. However one of the cities with a huge percentage is NYC and they dominate media and advertising jobs, which in turn creates a massive appearance of over repression.

And to clarify when I say 8-10% I mean of the male population not overall population.

If you're to trust the media the whole world is 50% gay and 50% black. People might think there just aren't many in their particular area.

You're not wrong, but could probably disprove 1 in 4 just from people I know that are in relationships with the opposite sex. Unless you buy the concept that a ton of those are really gay and afraid to show it.

US adults also believe a lot of other retarded shit as well. Like that Covid will go away if we just get more people to take a vaccine that doesn't stop its spread or transmission. Or, that there's huge amounts of police brutality present in society; or that oppression is running rampant. In short, US adults are idiots for the most part who base their entire world view on the glowing screen they state at all day outside of work.
Oh well. What can you do, right?

If it were that high, the population growth rate would be even more screwed than it already is.

This just shows how stupid people can be in large groups :p especially Democrats! I'm shocked that the independents are also way too high in their estimates too.

The real number is 5% or less (Around 4.5% says the article) and it's likely been that way for decades now.

It's like how people are so afraid of shark attacks, even though they're actually quite rare. It's all about selling the hype.
(And in the case of homosexualism: grooming the children)

It's almost 6% in the newest one.

The Hites eventually brought in some middle 6% results, using laughably broad questions and a stacked study group :/

Current studies which simply ask what you self identify as keep it under 5% every time. It takes some "fiddling" to boost the numbers.

Anyhow, I wouldn't doubt it is over 6% now, given 40 years of indoctrinating children.

... you know being gay it's not a big deal right? It's not like gay people have a third head or something. In the absolute majority of cases you can't even tell if you are talking to a gay guy unless he tells you he is gay, and why would he? Who even cares?

Still, studies like this are waaaay waaaaaaaaaay off the mark. I would be surprised if it's 1/10 people.

Gallup poll had it at 4.5%, and those are hardly the model of accuracy nor neutrality.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was more like 1%. Used to think it was 10% when I was younger -- that's how you know The Agenda is working.

It's 5.9% already just 2 years later.

Was 3.3% in 2014.

Sex studies back in the 50's and 60's kept showing that homosexuals were well under 5% of the population (that includes Bi- who are a really small %).
When asked about this? One (Probably one of the Hites) waved it off as "only half of them are brave enough to tell the truth" and suddenly "10% are gay" was the belief.

It was so even during what mass media named "the Gamergate Era" in America.

5% (5.9% already) was crossed only in the latest poll.

As always, that sort of claims "some of them lied" is just lazy. Like obviously there is a margin of error, I doubt it's double tough.

This reminds me of that silly article that claimed Michele Obama was constantly subjected to racial slurs while she was in the Whitehouse lol. There is of course NO evidence of this, but it "might have happened", "it sounds plausible"

iirc Michelle could recall a single 'racist episode' in her lifetime. Just one, and it was a ???? huh moment.

There's no reason to fear exposure from a double-blind, lawful study. Of course if you think it isn't? Then don't participate. But Hite and Kinsey and the rest were VERY openly homo-friendly, subject to strict scrutiny too.

So I agree: the "10%" came from the same place as "6 feet apart" it was fabricated from fantasy.

Who said that it was? Are you arguing against a nonexistent point just to make yourself feel better?

Literally a post about how propaganda has wildly distorted American perceptions of sexuality and encouraged gay overestimation as a virtue signal:

The three-head move: "yo, are you being homophobic bro?"

I was making fun of the article...? And your comment is a tad too defensive, Like dude chill, it's Friday.

Also my point is there are FAR less gay people than what article claims.

They're more obvious than the fedposters on here.

Yeahhhh no. That moved up fast from 1, 2pc tops 25 years ago. I call bullshit. All these soy addled millenials who think they are homosexual men or women, when they aren’t. They are just pantywaisted insufferable flouncing big girls blouses that are actually normal, but just so, I dunno ‘faggy’ that they have convinced themselves they are attracted to the same sex.
