The reason the percentage of homosexuals has gone up recently is because people aren't getting killed (as often) for being gay. Imagine being openly gay in the 70s or 80s - you could die. Now, that is much less likely, and the culture has changed with immense support from all areas of life - from education to entertainment.

You mean indoctrination.

Violence w/in gay relationships is, and always has been, very high.

You could still die for being gay, but as usual, it's probably at the hands of another gay person (Matthew Shepherd).

I was about to say. gay on gay crime is still the leading cause of gay murders.

If you were to hypothesize that the % of gays have gone up because the stigma attached is less, meaning more "come out of the closet", I might tend to agree with you. I really don't believe there are more gays about now because we're killing less of them. I'm not saying it never happens, just that the occurrences are too few to actually affect the numbers.

In fact, I'd hypothesize that gay deaths are 100X more likely due to contracting AIDS because in that world condoms are a dirty word than straights killing gays.............think I'm onto something?

If a gay person gets killed, it's because they were gay. That's how it always is now even though it isn't.

With the exception being if they were in Benghazi.

I can think of two cases where a lad was killed for being gay.

Ambassador Stephens wasn't gay, but the Libyans who killed him apparently were.

Yes, that's what I was saying. Sorry, I wasn't that clear. I'm not saying the numbers are higher because they aren't being murdered, just that the stigma is much less and the indoctrination against the LGBT community is much less powerful now. That makes it much less of a life-threatening scenario to be openly gay. And thus, more are likely to say, yes I am gay and especially the ones who may have lived life in a marriage of convenience or single, without admitting their orientation.

You know, AIDS/HIV is a powerful thing, and I think that's what a good-sized sliver of gay people do suffer - and eventually die - from. That said, that number will hopefully continue to go down as people become more educated (one can only hope).

Fill me in. How in gods name can people NOT KNOW that skipping the condom is like playing Russian roulette? Have these bareback gay dudes been living in a mud hut with no written materials for 35 years? I doubt it - I think it's more like "A rubber doesn't feel the same, give me the loaded pistol!"

People know but they choose to ignore. All it really takes is a little time and a test to know for sure, and to be quite honest it's simple. Always use a condom, unless you get to the point that you're in a committed relationship and eventually down the road when you're both sure of each other you can go further. Sure, something could always happen (happens to straight people too, in that situation) but it's better to be safe than sorry IMO. The people who don't use condoms are just plain stupid.
