My nephew finally came out today...

Puberty. That's a wee bit early.

See post #83. My best friend at the time who is exactly one week younger than me started at roughly the same time too. Something in the water?

Do you suppose there are a lot of straight guys out there in the closet about their sexuality?

How would I know? No one else does either.

[Captdon]

Wanna guess why he said that? Read his next post and youll know.

Yea, read my next post. This time with your eyes open.

Maybe.

Puberty. That's a wee bit early.

I had a guy who worked for me once who told me he knew from the time he was about five years old he was more attracted to men then to women. I think its more an understanding by the time you hit puberty and an acceptance than suddenly discovering your true nature.

Nope. Not buying this kid $#@!. At age five you don't know what a girl is. That guy was lying. Age 5 indeed.

Is the first question serious? Are you so old that you don't remember the sort of bullying that goes on in schools?

lol...I'm probably younger than most of the posters on this forum.

I doubt it based on the low percentage of LGBTs out there.

Why would a closeted homosexual reply in the affirmative to the poll? Additionally, from your poll:

no measurement procedure has produced any figures suggesting that more than one out of five Americans are gay or lesbian. The widely off-the-mark nature of Americans' estimates is underscored by the finding that in the most recent update, from May 6-10, only 9% of Americans estimate that the gay and lesbian population is less than 5% -- where Gallup's tracking figure would put it -- while at the other end of the spectrum, 33% estimate it as more than 25%.

Then there's this obvious statement:

Americans with the highest levels of education make the lowest estimates of the gay and lesbian population, underscoring the assumption that part of the reason for the overestimate is a lack of exposure to demographic data. Still, the average estimate among those with postgraduate education is 15%, four times the actual rate. Younger Americans give higher estimates than those who are older, and women make significantly higher guesses of the gay and lesbian population than men do.

What? Did you ask him if he was gay?

Is he still working for you?

Underscoring my point...

See paragraph 4.

I repeat...no closeted man or woman (I'd suspect there's a substantial number of closeted lesbians out there too) will ever answer the question they themselves refuse to answer in their own hearts.

Nah. John said there was no place in Heaven for certain people. Among them: homosexuals. That's between God and gays not me. God will do as He wants when He wants.

As I said that is a misinterpretation of the original. Modern versions of the bible are full of them.
