Homosexuality has been observed in THOUSANDS of species. It's been figured out that the higher the population of a species in a particular area, the higher the gay percentage is as well. Look at big cities where there are gay areas like Hillcrest in san diego, west hollywood, dallas, chicago, new york, etc etc etc.

I don't think that's why there are more gay people in cities.

I've never seen any research showing a link between higher populations and increased rates of homosexuality. There is a link between number of siblings and homosexuality, though.

In smaller towns, people know each other more, and so people who are gay need to be in the closet. I would assume that there would be a smaller amount of gays in smaller towns.

10% of the people in a large city is a lot more than 10% of the people in a small town.

well, i hate to anthropomorphize nature as if it's this living entity that decides what's best for us (seems quasi religious),  but that said, i'm glad some of us naturally don't have children and hope even more straight people decide not to (seems even some straight japenese are culturally getting hip to the idea of the lifestyle benefits to not procreating)

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

All I know is that there is WAAAAAAAY too much traffic on the roads. That traffic comes from people BREEDING and OVERPOPULATING the world. Quit having fucking babies dude. Use birth control.

OH, I know I know I know it just feels so much better to not use a condom but come one, use your brain, use birth control. You lose your hard on with a condom? Ok then take a damn viagra, it will stay hard that way for sure.

Apparently scientists speculate that it has to do with how much estrogen the mother produces during pregnancy. Each time a woman becomes pregnant, she produces more and more estrogen each time, which apparently causes a higher likelihood of homosexuality.

I don't know about Homosexuality but i have had similar thoughts about major epidemics such as the Spanish influenza or the Bubonic Plague being natures way of population control as in the past they would come and claim large amounts of lives. Since the medical industry has grown so has our population as we are able now to cure more disease and illness than before which in turn creates a whole new set of problems got to do with having such a vast population.

Homosexual animals are always also bisexual and never actual homosexual so it can't be genetically nature

Homosexuality doesn't keep the population in check since we are already over populated even with the presence of gays.

I feel like there are lots of people jumping on teh ghey bandwagon these days because it's the cool thing to do.

===================================================================================================

I know people who are definitely gay that don't do anything to flaunt it, and then I know people that wear as much rainbow stuff as they possibly can.. and I'm still not convinced some of them are gay

10% of the people in a large city is a lot more than 10% of the people in a small town.





I live in a small southern ton with a population of about 800, we have a
very high gay population here that are open about it, open enough to have
discussions with people about sexuality in public places such as the city
administration building

most gay people in smal towns tend to move out to larger cities because it
expands their chances of meeting someone they could become involved with in
addition to them not being stuck in a small town... the same reason a lot
of straight people move out of small towns to larger cities

as for your 10% statistic...

Quote:

The American cities with the highest gay populations are New York City with 272,493, Los Angeles with 154,270, Chicago with 114,449, and San Francisco with 94,234, as estimated by the Williams Institute in 2006




Population of NYC 8.337 million
Population of Los Angeles 3.858 million
Population of Chicago 2.715 million
Population of San Francisco 825,863

San Francisco is the only one close to that 10% mark, maybe you should check your facts

This report does NOT represent the truth I can guarantee that.

Open-minded democrat states are all in the top because the accept gays more and therefore they aren't ashamed to say "yes". The red states on the other hand where gays gets there asses kicked for saying they are gay are all at the bottom of the list probably because gays are afraid to answer yes.

Also, it is impossible taht onlt 2 to 3% of the population is gay. There are a lot more gays thant that I can guarantee it.
