How many of us are gay? And what do Jazzfanz think about it?

[Jose_Ortiz_fan]

most of the gay people i have met in my life have been super cool, and turned into good friends. it's a non issue imo.

 

[LogGrad98]

What, no in between? Guess I will abstain then.

 

[Jose_Ortiz_fan]

Choose both

 

[Jose_Ortiz_fan]

Or choose neither.

 

[babe]

Or choose neither.

gays and lesbies make the best tenants. Never had any skip out on rent or trash the place.

still a shame we have inundated our food packaging with phytoestrogens, turning men into pansies and women into rage bees with breast cancer issues.

no amount of sociological, political, or legal "calming" can create real men and real women.

uhhhhh. . . .. wait a minute. . . . . .


when I was growing up the thing I saw was "real men" going out on a binge on payday night, coming home soused and broke with the smell of skanky women and cigarettes, and powerless wives who feared the gossip mills too much go out and match that act. I don't see much of that any more, not since the movie "Cowboys Don't Cry" came out. What a great DVD combo, that and "The Show He Never Gave". (Hank Williams)

Gay can't be all that bad.

From what I hear on a daily basis I am estimating that 35% of the population is gay, give or take 5%.

I did a very formal and highly scientific poll. I asked my son, my wife, my other son and his baby-mama, my daughter and her 9 friends staying over for a sleepover for her 13th birthday what percentage of the population they thought was gay. Here were their responses:

Wife (on the 17th anniversary of her 29th birthday =) - 20% of the total population
Son (21 years old) - 15%
Baby-mama (22 years old) - 12%
Son (17 years old - senior in high school) - 40%
Daughter (13 years old, just started jr high) - 25%
Friend 1 - 15%
Friend 2 - 20%
Friend 3 - 75%
Friend 4 - 12%
Friend 5 - 20%
Friend 6 - 35%
Friend 7 - 30%
Friend 8 - 23%
Friend 9 - 20%
So 12 year old girl average estimate, throwing out the 75% for being silly, is 22.22%
(all Friends here are between the ages of 12 and 14)

Here is an estimate of the actual percentage:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...he-u-s-population-is-gay-lesbian-or-bisexual/

Based on the 2013 NHIS data [collected in 2013 from 34,557 adults aged 18 and over], 96.6% of adults identified as straight, 1.6% identified as gay or lesbian, and 0.7% identified as bisexual. The remaining 1.1% of adults identified as “something else[]” [0.2%,] stated “I don’t know the answer[]” [0.4%] or refused to provide an answer [0.6%].

So if you account for a margin of error and assume that some of those in the other categories are actually gay you might be able to say that 3% of the population is gay.

So how are gays represented in popular media? I found this article:

https://www.tvguide.com/news/glaad-lgbt-characters-1071960.aspx

In the Network Responsibility Index, which looks back at the 2012-2013 TV season, Fox lead the way for being LGBT inclusive with 42 percent of primetime programming hours having included LGBT characters, followed by ABC with 33 percent. Fox was also lauded for including the first transgender series regular with Unique (Alex Newell) on Glee.

On cable, ABC Family topped with 50 percent, followed by FX with 40 percent. The History Channel received a failing grade with no LGBT images on any of its shows last season.

"Last season was a stellar one when it comes to the sheer number of gay, lesbian and bisexual representations on television, though diversity within those storylines showed room for improvement," GLAAD's Wilson Cruz said in a statement. "Though the number of LGBT characters dropped this season, shows like The Fosters, with an interracial female couple raising a family, and characters like Unique on Glee have not only moved the conversation about LGBT people forward, but are also a hit with audiences."

I spend a significant part of my life doing some things nobody would ever imagine for someone who lives in a neighborhood where everybody within eighty miles knows not only your name but your business and home life. . . . . and no, they don't pick it up off the police scanner. . . . .

In one way or another, I deal with almost any kinds of persons you can classify. Nobody is going to tell a phone surveyor their private affairs. A lot of people don't even know what they're talking about....the media public survey people, I mean. Most people won't even listen to the questions, and answer based on voice tones and inflections signaling desired responses. . . ."yeah man. . . no way. . . . totally.

Then there are places where gays gather. . . . downtown SLC Marmalade and East Central neighborhoods. . . .

ten percent overall is way too high, 3% probably low. I'd go for 4%

Jazzfanz. . . . 10%

I don't know how many Jazzfanzers are gay but I would bet half are transvestites.

Don't deny it

The stats are really interesting and hard to nail down. The 10% number originally came from the Kinsey Reports, and is still often quoted today. On the other hand, Wikipedia is telling me that a 2012 US survey had 3.8% of Americans self-identifying as gay. There's a breakdown by state, pretty interesting:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_demographics_of_the_United_States

Utah is 47th in % of gay people with 2.7%. The highest? Washington D.C. by a mile at 10%. OMG, they're taking over the government!

Personally I think the overall % of gay people is probably between those 4% and 10% numbers -- the former being based on self-identification (which many won't want to do), the latter based on detailed personal interviews. Maybe split the difference at 7%?

What, no in between? Guess I will abstain then.

Or just use protection.

I personally take offense to this pole. There is no option for hermaphrodites. Should I be labeled as gay because I can technically choose either? Choosing straight could be an option for me. It is hard to dress up as a man because I have to tape down my huge chest to conform to society norms rather than dress as a woman and tuck. What to do? What do I do? I am tired of being called a tranny and labeled by gay or straight standards.

Play to advantage. Dress like girl to make boys like you then whip it out in bed. Say to them it is only small her my peen and you can keep it out of way.
