Is asexuality really a thing? I have a hard time buying that shit.

Approximately 1% of the general population. So about the same ratio as straight:gay is gay:asexual.

Is that 10% thing really true? I feel like maybe 1% or less of the people I have known in my life are gay and I used to live in the Bay Area. I realize not everyone is open about it, but I have a hard time believing the 10% thing.

It used to be true. If you really dig into the census data.

In his 1948 book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, Alfred Kinsey shocked the world by announcing that 10% of the male population is gay. The 2000 U.S. Census Bureau found that homosexual couples constitute less than 1% of American households. The Family Research Report says "around 2-3% of men, and 2% of women, are homosexual or bisexual." The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force estimates three to eight percent of both sexes.

So what accounts for the decrease in homosexuality in the general population? There is no official answer. Butt it's probably AIDS.

It's technically transgendered, not transsexual. I think putting "lesbian" and "gay" is redundant and retarded.

That's easy for you to say, you're gay, not a lesbian!

Yeah, like I said, I have a hard time buying that.

My link goes into the 10% thing too. It's mostly opinion but a different than usual take on things at least.

I think they should change it go GBLT because that sounds like a "Great" BLT which being the best sandwich on the planet would make them more popular.

That I didn't think of this first fills me with GBLT.
