GfS - I am pretty sure you got the wrong idea about the question from SJL. Let me backtrack.

Story - US Adults, in the main, vastly over estimate the gay population.

Question was - Now, why do you think we overestimate like that?

You then go off on one about 'them' promoting the breakdown of society and wanting to be seen as liberal.

I am pretty sure that your rant does NOT answer SJL's question although I am sure she will comment for herself (Sorry if I got the gender wrong, SJL) The overestimation of this portion of society is, more than likely, brought on by politicians and media wanting to demonise gays. The exact opposite of what you say. If they wanted to promote the gay lifestyle and show that it was acceptable then, surely, they would present the REAL figures which show that the percentage of gay people is so small that it could never be a threat to the 'nuclear family' or 'fabric of society'.

Now, I don't know if you misread the question, misread the article or just wanted to have a go at someone on here. I suspect the latter but I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Now, do you really believe that alternate sexualities are such a threat or are you just making noise?
