It seems to me that every one of the alleged "forms" of homosexuality also exist in heterosexuality. --Dmerrill
My intuition tells me that this article is pro-homosexuality. Was that the author's intent? --Ed Poor
- Who knows. Who cares, as long as it's NPOV.
- - also, the statistical estimate of "percent of the population that is gay" has been changed on this page a few times. Can anybody get us a hard cite for a number here?
- Seconding the latter! The best way to counter endless arguments and suspicions about bias is to contextualize assertions by saying such things as, "According to a widely-cited survey by so-and-so, N% of Americans are homosexuals. There have been a number of attempts to estimate the percentage of homosexuals worldwide, such as..." Etc. --LMS
- By the way, re "People whose sexual desire and activities are strongly channelled toward members of their own sex are a minority of the population (variously estimated to be anywhere from 2% to 10%)." Of what population? --Yours for scientific precision, LMS
- Why on earth should americans be specially mentioned? Should we specially mention every single country where there has been survey's percentages? ;) arcade
