I guess I was oblivious to this whole issue for awhile assuming things were in gear and moving along in favor of gay rights and gay marriage. I was reading there's been recent federal legislation banning same sex marriage and anyways most states don't give the civil unions to homosexuals either. Completely baffling. But I guess the public is largely to blame b/c most people are still in favor of not allowing gay marriage for whatever reason (hint: idiotic reasons). It's something like over 50% oppose gay marriage

I was curious what percent of the american population was gay so i googled it and the first article I found was this article. I'm glad that's what people are reading! The whole premise of his argument was that roughly 3-5% of the population was gay, but that 20% of the population was abnormal because of "mental disorders". And since there are a lot more mental disorders than gays in the population, homosexuality should not be considered normal. *hands clap* Well thought out! Logically sound! I couldn't even believe that's the conclusions he was drawing. It's scary to me anyone can think like this, much less make it really high on the google chart.

A funny study I read said about murderers that killed gay people showed that more than 70% of the killers were aroused during gay porn suggesting that they just couldn't face the fact that they might be gay or bi.

I like the pop cultures take on it. It really parallels a lot of movements. It starts out attacking the fundamentalist opposition to liberty. Let's stop killing and randomly attacking people with this stated belief. These movies proliferate. Eventually people are slightly changed and not as outwardly belligerent to the group. Then whole shows and concepts are given to the group with the ideology to show how even though whatever law that granted this group some liberty, they still are being mistreated. More acceptance grows. People realize the group they hated before was largely unfounded. The people that still oppose giving liberty to whatever group is now repeatedly mocked until eventually only a small portion of people are bigots towards that group. It happened with blacks, it happened with women, it'll happen with gays too. It's really just a matter of time, but it's funny to see how obvious it is. We'll all look back at today's culture and be baffled at how bigoted people can be for no good reason.

In 1948, about 90% of American Adults opposed interracial marriage when the Supreme Court of California legalized it, and California became the first state that allowed loving, committed interracial couples to marry.

In 1967, about 72% were opposed to interracial marriage. This was the year when the U.S. Supreme Court was legalized interracial marriage everywhere in the U.S.

In 1991, those adults opposed to interracial marriage became a minority for the first time.

It's pretty obvious that we're gonna be looking back on this period in history in disbelief. I have to say when I saw that scene in Borat where he was talking to that guy about trying to kill the gays at the rodeo I was laughing in disbelief, but there has to be fairly widespread bigotry towrad the gays considering that the majority of the US is apparently against gay marriage.

The end.

P.S. I'm not a queer! I like teh vagine!
