Why celebrities come out
I would like to take this opportunity to address some rather ill-informed posts on the recent thread on the gay cricketer who came out.
Does it matter? Yes - it does, because gay kids need to have a variety of role models. It makes them feel better about themselves.
Why do gay people feel the need to announce their sexuality? Well, why do straight people do the same? Think about it! Every wedding you've ever been to ha been a declaration of heterosexuality. Every time a bloke picks up a copy of FHM and points out how much he fancies Cheryl Cole - isn't he shouting about his sexuality?
Please continue to raise questions on sexuality, but try to think before writing, because some posts come across as the product of extreme stupidity.

Having read the thread from beginning to end, it appears that the original premise is getting lost in a flurry of insults and defences.
ETY - you have made your forthright views about homosexuality known here at kength - and no-one denies you the right to feel as you do, or to express your thoughts and opinions.
The issues come when you use inflamatory and derogatory terms which at worst are removed under AB rules, and at best, cause others to take issue with, not your stance on the issue, but the way in which you insult people for their lifestyle, or their defence of a section of society which lives under difficult circumstances.
I have often opined that even though compared with even a generationm ago, we are vastly improved in our tolerences, as a society we still have a very lkong way to go, and threads like this are certainly proof of that.
AOG - no-one is 'parading' homosexuality, any more than you parade 'our brave boys and girls fighting abroad' - people become passionate about areas of life that concern them, or simply because they fight injustice on any front they find it.

zeuhl.......'Proper Surveys have qual/quant checks, ipsative questioning and algorithms applied to ensure statistical validity'
Still doesn't stop people lying on them if they feel so inclined though does it? Or do they all take lie detector tests?
Surveys are always based on a very small number of participants in relation to the subject being surveyed anyway..

Male and female "DOING IT" is in the interest of securing the future of our species.
Same sex couples "doing it" is purely for perverted sexual gratification.
That's the pope's line - sex is for procreation only; doing it for mere recreation is perverted. I don't share this view myself but Pope Spock is entitled to it, I suppose. But yes, there are gay animals

You going to tell penguins they're perverted? Good luck with that.
