Percentages of homosexuals and bisexuals in some major Western nations

By Graham Fitzpatrick (1st Draft)

 The 10% Homosexuals and Lesbians Myth

 There has never been questions attached to the national census surveys in Australia or

any other country to find out the percentage of the total population who are male homosexuals, lesbians and bisexuals. As a result, for many decades now an amazing myth or fallacy has been spread in the media in many countries claiming that about 10% of their populations are practicing male homosexuals, lesbians and bisexuals.

This myth has been repeated so many times by the propagandists of the homosexual, lesbian and paedophile lobbies and by their gullible parrots in numerous sections of the media that millions of people now believe it. But this myth is like the myths spread by many academics and scientists in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s that the genes of African Negroes and Australian Aboriginals caused them to be born with less intelligence than Europeans and the genes of women caused them to be unsuitable to be educated at universities and to become lawyers and medical doctors. It probably will not be long before some quacks in the scientific community will be supposedly “proving” that certain genes cause some humans to rape and to desire to have sex with animals. A frank admission by homosexual-lesbian propagandists

 In their book “After the Ball: How America Will Conquer its Hatred and Fear of

Homosexuals in the 90’s”, authors Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen (Plume, New York, 1990, pages 177-178) stated that the 10% homosexual and lesbian claim was a figure which the homosexual and lesbian lobby propagandists have been continually pumping into heterosexuals’ heads for many years. Kirk and Madsen wrote: “Based on their personal experience, most straights probably would put the gay population at 1% or 2% of the general population. Yet…when straights are asked by pollsters for a formal estimate, the figure played back most often is the ‘10% gay’ statistic which our propagandists have been drilling into their heads for years.”  The massive problem of biased sampling

 The main problem with nearly every study done to try to estimate the percentage of

male homosexuals and lesbians in various countries is that these studies are small samples of the total population and have inherent bias problems. Their bias problems relate to two main facts: 

a)        Firstly many traditional types of heterosexuals decline to participate in such surveys and studies because they believe that sex is a private matter between them and their spouses. In this traditional heterosexual group, many would not even tell their close friends or relatives about their sexual experiences, let alone strangers doing research about which there is no absolute guarantee their identity and practices will not be made public. Similarly, many traditional heterosexuals who are single do not like talking about personal sexual attitudes with strangers.b)        Secondly, homosexuals, lesbians and bisexuals are keener to participate in surveys about sexual preferences than what many heterosexuals are. One reason for this is possibly because they believe that by participating in these studies, they can ensure that

the surveys will report a higher percentage of homosexuals, lesbians and bisexuals in the total population than if they declined, and this reported higher percentage is crucial for them to gain more political influence and the associated achieving of all their goals. These goals include the granting of homosexual marriage licences, the right to adopt children and further reductions in the age of consent for same-sex sexual practices.

 In the early 1900’s, most homosexuals tried to hide their identity because of anti-

homosexual laws in Western countries. But because the media, universities and public education systems in Western countries have been so blatantly pro-homosexual in the late 1980’s, 1990’s and present decade and so many political parties have been politically correct pro-homosexual over the same period, it is a myth to say that a large percentage of male homosexuals, lesbians and bisexuals would refuse to participate in surveys which they know will benefit their own groups’ long-term political and social agenda if, there is a higher number of homosexuals and bisexuals who participate.

Commenting on the above massive sampling bias problems for surveys about sexual preferences, Dr J. Gordon Muir, the medical researcher and medical physician wrote in his article in the Wall Street Journal dated March 31, 1993: “Kinsey’s failings aside, sex surveys should never be considered as singularly definitive, because of the problem of volunteer bias; many people don’t want to discuss their most intimate sexual natures with a clipboard-bearing stranger or an anonymous telephone interviewer. The refusal rate for sex surveys ranges widely, with some reporting rejections of more than 50%. Although homosexuals contend that social stigma prevents them from full representation in surveys, researchers have found that the sexually unconventional are more eager to discuss sex than people are generally.”  Another cause of inflated homosexual and bisexual figures

 Nearly all of the research surveys into the estimated percentages of homosexuals,

lesbians and bisexuals in various nations have another inherent weakness. This is the fact that a high proportion of those respondents who say they have had one or a few homosexual encounters in the past but are not now practicing homosexuals will be:  

a)        those who were sexually abused or sexually assaulted as children or teenagers by homosexuals.b)        those who when drunk or “high” on illegal drugs participated in homosexual sexual acts which later when they were back to normal, deeply regretted.c)        Those, who as little children, in acts of exhibitionism showed their genitals to groups of boys or groups of boys and girls and/or allowed the other little girls and boys to experiment by touching their genitals.

 Unless a survey specifically defines homosexual activities as masturbation or anal or

oral intercourse, the respondents may say they have had one or a few homosexual experiences in the past when actually what they mean is showing their genitals to other children of their same sex. Many little children have shown their genitals to each other but are not homosexual and did not have oral or anal sex or joint masturbation with other children of the same sex.

 Journalists acting like gullible trained parrots of pro-homosexual propagandists

 For many decades up until now, many journalists in newspapers, magazines, the

television and radio in Australia and other Western countries have been telling the general public that homosexuals, lesbians and bisexuals comprise a very large minority group in Australia or these other countries. But like most myths and propaganda, such claims are often passed on from person to person without anyone bothering to check how accurate such claims are.

In Australia , numerous journalists have attempted to convince the massive heterosexual majority that male homosexuals and lesbians comprise about 10% of the total population. For example, in the July 29, 1994 of “The Australian” national newspaper, the female journalist quoted without question the claim of the pro-homosexual marketing propagandists called Significant Others Marketing Consultants who said there were “more than 1 million gays and lesbians in Australia” in 1994.

Only one month later, another journalist from “The Australian” and obviously with the editor’s approval, quoted again from the Significant Others Marketing Consultants, stating there were “1.4 million gay and lesbian adults in Australia ”.

If we add to this above speculated 1.4 million homosexual and lesbian adults, and equivalent proportional estimated figure for children 17 years and younger who are supposed to be homosexual and lesbian, we obtain the following figures: 

a)        On June 30, 1994, there were 13,242,731 adults aged 18 years and above in Australia .[1] If we divide this figure into the speculated 1.4 million practicing homosexual and lesbian adults who were supposed to be in Australia at that time, you obtain a figure of 10.57%.b)        Then if you add bisexuals to the above figure, you end up with the ridiculous figure of     % of the Australian adult population supposedly being homosexuals, lesbians or bisexuals in 1994.In the Australian Study of Health and Relationships reported in 2003, Anthony M. A. Smith, Chris E. Rissel, Juliet Richters, Andrew E.Grulich and Richard O. De Visser stated that out of 9729 Australian males aged 16-59 years, only 1.58% or 154 self-identified as homosexuals and only 0.91% self-identified as bisexuals. [2]  This means only 2.49% of these Australian males self-identified as homosexuals or bisexuals. Smith et al stated that out of the 9578 Australian women aged 16-59 years they surveyed, 0.8% or 77 self-identified as lesbians and 1.44% or 138 self identified as bisexuals.[3]  This means 2.24% in total self identified as lesbians and female bisexuals.  If we average the male and female homosexual and bisexual percentages, we end up with only 2.49+2.24 = 4.73 divided by 2= 2.365%.  This is massively less than the wildly exaggerated fantasized figure stated  By the "Australian" journalist. 

Journalists and their editors are acting like cigarette companies 

The continual unchallenged quoting by many journalists in newspapers, magazines and current affairs programmes of a supposed approximately 10% homosexual and lesbian figure out of the total population of Australia and the fact that the journalists and/or editors of these media outlets refuse to inform the public of the academic research which shows this 10% is a myth and of the fact that there is no solid academic research to support the 10% figure proves that most journalists in Australia and other Western countries are deliberately trying to brainwash the heterosexual public with the politically correct lying propaganda of homosexual, lesbian and paedophile lobbies.

These journalists are similar to the executives of American cigarette companies who for decades provided lying figures to the general public to supposedly prove that cigarettes were not addictive and did not cause cancer. The cigarette companies had their own marketers, propagandists and pawns in the media deceiving hundreds of millions of people in most nations on Earth and resulted in the unnecessary deaths of millions of people through cigarette-caused cancer, strokes and heart disease.

The cigarette companies were so successful in pushing their propaganda through advertising and the media that the many solid pieces of academic research which proved cigarettes were addictive and deadly were ignored by millions of people. These cigarette companies took many opponents to court to try to silence the research which showed how addictive and dangerous cigarettes were. 

The thought police of the state governments of New South Wales This is similar to how in the state of New South Wales , the homosexual-lesbian-

paedophile lobby convinced the state government to pass a law which banned people from strongly criticising the practices of homosexuals and lesbians. The N.S.W. State Government has inflicted its “thought police” on the citizens of New South Wales for many years now.

 The 1999-2001 Australian National University study

 In their “Sexual orientation and mental health: results from a community survey of

young and middle-aged adults” in the British Journal of Psychiatry in 2002, researchers Dr Anthony Jorm, Ailsa Korten, Dr Bryan Rodgers, Patricia Jacomb and Dr Helen Christensen – all from the Centre for Mental Health Research at the Australian National University in Canberra provided details of their research into 2,331 adults aged 20-24 and 2,493 adults aged 40-44 years in Australia. [4] Here are some of their results: 

a)        For males aged 20-24 years, 1% stated they were homosexual and 1.8% said they were bisexual. [5] This was 2.8% in total for male homosexuals and male bisexuals in this age group.b)        For males aged 40-44 years, 1.6% said they were homosexual and 0.8% stated they were bisexual. [6] This was 2.4% in total for male homosexuals and male bisexuals in this age range.c)        For females aged 20-24 years, 1.8% said they were homosexual and 2.7% stated they were bisexual. [7] This was 4.5% in total for female homosexuals and female bisexuals in this age range.d)        For females aged 40-44 years, 2.0% said they were homosexual and 0.8% were bisexual. [8] In total, this was 2.8% for female homosexuals and female bisexuals in this age range.

 The fact that the female bisexual figure had grown greatly from 0.8% in the 40-44

year age group in Australia to 2.7% in the 20-24 age group suggests that because of various reasons, Australian younger females are far more likely to experiment with bisexuality than older Australian women are. 

The Australian Study of Health and Relationships on increasing female bisexuality

 Another piece of research which confirms that increasing percentages of younger

Australian women are turning to bisexuality is the Australian Study of Health and Relationships which surveyed 19,307 Australians aged 16-59 years. In their Table 4 “Socio-demographic correlates of current sexual identity among women” in their chapter called “Sexual identity, sexual attraction and sexual experience among a representative sample of adults”, this study recorded that of bisexual females[9]: 

a)        only 13.8% of them were aged 40-49 years and just 8.3% of them were aged 50-59 yearsb)        but a massive 42.9% were aged 20-29 years.

 The fact that only 12% of female bisexuals were in the 16-19 years age bracket, suggests that when Australian females achieve greater independence in their 20’s, higher percentages are experimenting with the social trend of bisexuality.

 

A survey of same-sex sexual attraction among 3387 Australian government schools students

             In their “Same-Sex attraction, drug injection and binge drinking among Australian adolescents", Anthony M.A. Smith, Jo Lindsay and Doreen A. Rosenthal reported on their cross-section survey by an anonymous self-administered questionnaire of 3387 students in years 10 and 12 of the government school system in Australia.[10]  Here are the results of the study[11]:

(a)    3.3% of 763 year 10 males and 2.9% of year 12 males said that at present they were sexually attracted solely to other males.(b)    2.5% of 921 year 10 females and 3.8% of year 12 females said that at present they were solely sexually attracted to other females.(c)    2% of 737 year 10 males and 2.5% of year 12 males reported that at present they were sexually attracted to both males and females.(d)    2.9% of 966 year 10 females and 4.6% of year 12 females reported that at present they were sexually attracted to both males and females.

This means that 5.3% of 921 year 10 girls and 8.4% of 966 year 12 girls said they were sexually attracted to other females.

 The first large-scale Australian survey of homosexuals, lesbians and

bisexuals             “The Australian Study of Health and Relationships” is Australia ’s first large-scale survey of sexual behaviour and attitudes in Australia . It was done by Anthony M.A. Smith and Richard O. de Visser (both from the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society at La Trobe University of Victoria), Chris E. Rissel (of the Health Promotion Unit, Central Sydney Area Health Service and Australian Centre for Health Promotion, University of Sydney, New South Wales), Juliet Richters (of the National Centre in HIV Social Research, University of New South Wales) and Andrew E. Grulich (of the National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinic Research, University of New South Wales). The results were published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health ( April 9, 2003 , Volume 27, No 2, pages 101-256)[12]. The following sections record the results of this national survey. Note that the authors of this research make numerous personal comments throughout their various chapters which show they are pro-homosexual and pro-lesbian.

In its section “Sexual identity, sexual attraction and sexual experience among a representative sample of adults”, “The Australian Study of Health and Relationships” stated:            a) The research survey involved computer-assisted telephone interviews of “a representative sample of 10,173 men and 9,134 women aged 16-59 years from all States and Territories of Australia. The overall response rated was 73.1% (men 69.4%; women 77.6%).[13]             b) the results of the research survey were as follows: “Among men, 97.4% identified as heterosexual, 1.6% as gay or homosexual and 0.9% as bisexual. Among women, 97.7% identified as heterosexual, 0.8% as lesbian or homosexual and 1.4% as bisexual.”[14]            In its section “Sexual identity, sexual attraction and sexual experience among a representative sample of adults”, “The Australian Study of Health and Relationships” said the following about surveys in other developed countries: “Data from surveys of representative samples in other developed countries suggest that approximately 98% of men and women describe their sexual identity as ‘heterosexual’, with the remaining 2% split between ‘bisexual’, ‘homosexual’ and ‘other/undecided’ categories. However, such surveys reveal that substantially more that 2% of people report non-heterosexual attraction or experience… In some countries men are more likely than women to report same-sex experience of attraction (e.g. the Netherlands), whereas in other countries women are more likely than men to report same-sex experience of attraction (e.g. France). Australia appears the follow the

latter, less common, pattern, with women being more likely than men to report same-sex experience or attraction…”[15]

      c) Table 1 “Prevalence of different forms of sexual identity, sexual attraction and

sexual experience among men and women” [16], reveals:             (i) 4.5% of the total of 9728 male subjects were sexually attracted “predominantly to opposite sex”             (ii) 0.6% of the total male subjects were sexually attracted “equally often to both sexes”.             (iii) 1.1% were sexually attracted “predominantly to same sex”.             (iv) 0.6% were sexually attracted “exclusively to same sex.”             Table 1 also states:             (i) 11% of the total of 9,578 female subjects were sexually attracted “predominantly to opposite sex.”             (ii) 1.0% were sexually attracted “equally often to both sexes”.             (iii) 0.6% were sexually attracted “predominantly to same sex”.

      (iv) 0.2% were sexually attracted “exclusively to same sex.”

 The results of studies overseas              In its section “Homosexual experience and recent homosexual encounters”, “The Australian Study of Health and Relationships” recording results of studies overseas: “The proportion of men who reported homosexual activity in the past year ranged from 1.1% in France and Britain to 6.3% in the Netherlands, while for women this varied from 0.3% in France to 1.3% in the United States (US).”[17] Discussion

Note the much higher figure of 6.3% of male homosexual activity in the Netherlands in the past years is a result of many factors, one of which is the fact that paedophilia is legalised in the Netherlands with the age of consent for homosexual acts with boys being only 12 years.  The survey used a very broad definition of “sexual experience”              In its section “Homosexual experience and recent homosexual encounters”, “The Australian Study of Health and Relationships” recorded[18]: “Overall, 8.6% of women and 5.9% of men reported some homosexual sexual experience in their lives  (P<0.001); these figures fell to 5.7% and 5.0% respectively (p=0.106) when non-genital sexual experience was excluded. 1.9% of men and 1.5% of women reported homosexual experience in the past year.”

Note that the survey’s questions on sexual experience defined the phrase “sexual experience” as “any kind of contact with another person that you felt was sexual. It could be kissing or touching, or intercourse or any other form of sex.”[19] This means that any person who had an adult of the same sex kiss and/or touch him/her previously as a child or teenager in a way that the person interpreted as having sexual intentions, would answer this question by saying he/she had a homosexual experience. This would cause the resulting statistics to wrongly imply that all males and females who previously had a homosexual sexual experience consented to this.  35.3% of homosexuals had 10-49 sex partners and 38.2% had over 50  

            In Table 1 “Number of same-sex partners for three time periods reported by men with respect to their sexual identity”[20], the authors of the survey stated that of men identifying themselves as exclusively homosexual:             (i) 35.3% of them had 10 to 49 homosexual sex partners over their lifetime.            (ii) 38.2% of them had 50 or more homosexual sex partners over their lifetime.            (iii) only 3.7% of them had 1 sex partner over their lifetime.            (iv) only 1.3% of them had 2 sex partners over their lifetimes.             This means only 5% homosexuals had only 1 to 2 homosexual sex partners and 73.5% had 10 to 49  or 50 plus homosexual sex partners.  The numbers of sex partners of bisexuals              The authors of the survey said that of men identifying themselves as bisexual[21]:             (i) 40.7% had 10 to 49 homosexual sex partners over their lifetime.            (ii) 9.6% had 50 or more homosexual sex partners over their lifetime.             (iii) only 10.9% had only 1 homosexual sexual partner over their lifetime.            (iv) only 3.7% had only 2 homosexual sex partners over their lifetime.             This means that only 14.6% of male bisexuals had only 1-2 homosexual sex partners over their lifetime and 50.3% had 10-49 or 50 plus homosexual sex partners during their lifetime.  A comparison with male and female heterosexuals              The authors of the survey state that of men identifying themselves as solely heterosexual[22]:             (i) 38.3% had 10 to 49 female sex partners over their lives.            (ii) 6.6% had 50 or more female sex partners over their lives.            (iii) 16.4% had 1 to 2 female sex partners over their lifetime.              This means 44.9% of heterosexual males had 10 to 49 or 50 plus female sex partners. This means 28.6% more male homosexuals had 10 to 49 or 50 plus sexual partners than male heterosexuals had in the same ranges of sex partners.             The authors of the survey stated that of women identifying themselves as solely heterosexual[23]:             (i) 23.4% had only 1 male sex partner over their lives.            (ii) 11.4% had only 2 male sex partners over their lives.             (iii) only 17.4% had 10-49 and 0.9% had 50 plus sexual partners over their lifetimes. Surveys reporting many homosexual men having more that 10 sex partners

           In their section “Homosexual experience and recent homosexual encounters”, the authors of “The Australian Study of Health and Relationships” stated[24]: “Among representative surveys, most but not all surveys have reported that men who reported homosexual experience had a greater number of sexual partners than those who reported only heterosexual experience. The figures are not so clear-cut in women, and some surveys have reported lower numbers of sexual partners in women who report homosexual experience than in those who report only heterosexual experience… In Australian non-random surveys, homosexually identified men have generally reported a high number of sexual partners. For example, 20-25% of men in the Melbourne periodic surveys reported more than 10 partners in the past six months. In a national convenience survey of men with homosexual experience, Van de Ven et al. found that 23.3% of men reported more than 10 partners in the past six months.”

 Comparison of rates of visiting Internet sex sites and watching X-rated videos

           In their section “Autoerotic, esoteric and other sexual practices engaged in by representative sample of adults”, “The Australian Study of Health and Relationships” recorded:             a) in Table 4 “Correlates of intentionally visiting Internet sex sites in the past year” [25]            (i) 38.8% of homosexual males and 37.4% of male bisexuals had visited Internet sex sites.            (ii) but only 16% of heterosexual males had visited these sex sites.             (iii) 8% of lesbians and 18.9% of bisexual females had visited these sex sites.             (iv) but only 2.1% of heterosexual females had visited these sites.            

b) in Table 5 “Correlates of watching X-rated videos in the past year”[26]             (i) 63.1% of homosexual males and 69.6% of male bisexuals had watched X-rated videos in the past year.             (ii) but a much lesser figure of 37% of heterosexual males had viewed them in the same period.             (iii) 40.2% of bisexual women and 17.4% of lesbians had viewed X-rated videos in the past year.             (iv) but only 15.7% of heterosexual females had viewed them in the same period.  Homosexual and lesbians proportionally occupy more powerful positions than heterosexuals

           Another finding of “The Australian Study of Health and Relationships” was that male homosexuals and even more so lesbians have a higher rate of having managerial or professional jobs than male or female heterosexuals:             (i) Male heterosexuals had a correlate of 35.2 with the manager/professional occupational category while male homosexuals had a higher correlate of 39.8.[27]            (ii) Females heterosexual had a correlate of 30.1 with the manager/professional occupational category, while lesbians had a massively higher correlate of 56.2 – almost double the female heterosexual correlation figure[28]. Professional jobs include teachers, university lecturers, lawyers, judges, radio, newspaper and TV journalists, and medical doctors.             This means that male homosexuals and lesbians have more power, authority and influence in Australian society than would an equal sized group of male and female heterosexuals.  Large increases in lesbian sexual experience rates in the U.S.              The authors of “The Australian Study of Health and Relationships” also stated[29]: “A review of American surveys found that there was no trend in reported homosexual experience in American men born in cohorts before 1930 to the 1960s, but that the reported prevalence of female homosexual experience increased from 1.5% in those born before 1930 to 7.1% in those born after 1960.”            They are referring her to the article “Sexual behaviour in the United States 1930-1990: trends and methodological problems” in “Sex Transmission Diseases” in 1995 (volume 22, pages 173-190). This is a very significant finding because:             a) large numbers of the American females born before the 1930’s would not have had the opportunity to marry. This is because of the 300,000 young American males killed in World War Two. The United States was not invaded and therefore did not experience many deaths of female civilians. Also during World War Two, American females did not fight as

soldiers, pilots or sailors. American girls born in the 1920’s would have been ready to marry in the war years of 1939-1945 and after the war.             b) in the 1960’s to the 1990’s, there was not the same problem of a lack of young marriageable males in the U.S. The Vietnam War occurred in the 1960’s, but the war dead was a small percentage compared with World War Two. In the 1970’s to 1990’s, the United States suffered minimal deaths in wars compared to what is suffered in World War Two. So from the 1960’s to the 1990’s, there was no lack of marriageable young males in the U.S. Therefore, despite the lack of available marriageable males in the U.S. in the 1940’s, only 1.5% of American women who were born before the 1930’s had any homosexual experiences – consensual or otherwise. But of American women born after 1960, 7.1% have had a homosexual experience – consensual or otherwise.  

The influence of present day universities in brainwashing students

           The authors of the survey also stated: “There is some evidence that young men and women are more likely than older men and women to report some same-sex attraction or experience. While this may be associated with greater honesty in reports of such contact, it is also possible that the incidence of both same-sex attraction and same-sex experience is increasing.” [30]            The above comments are very relevant to the fact that the authors of the survey also found that almost half - 47.6%[31] of current practicing male homosexuals and a massive 68%[32] of current practicing lesbians are university educated. This helps to explain part of the increase in the number of practicing male homosexuals and lesbians in recent decades.             Students who go to universities are continually brainwashed with pro-homosexual and pro-lesbian propaganda from the time they enter till the time they leave university. In their classes, many lecturers and tutors constantly attack and label as right wing extremists those people who oppose the practices of homosexuality and lesbianism. Many lecturers and tutors also teach that homosexuality and lesbianism are genetically caused and insist that homosexuals and lesbians should be permitted to marry and have children through I.V.F or adoption.             At universities there are lecturers and tutors who teach a good balanced form of feminism. They point out the wrong practices of previous generations, for example:             a) the double standard of Victorian morality in which females were expected to dislike sex and never had sex outside of marriage, but it was OK for their husbands to have sex outside of marriage.             b) the fact that women were not permitted to vote in political elections throughout history nor go to universities nor become medical doctors or lawyers in the Middle Ages until the late 1800’s.             c) unjust divorce laws in Britain in the 1700’s and 1800’s which made it much easier for men than women to obtain divorces.             But there are also many radical extremist types of feminists who preach a ‘hate-men and love only women’ attitude. These lecturers lay the foundations of lesbianism in the minds of many students. Many of these radical extremists are lesbians or bisexuals who are hunting for young girls as sex partners.             Following is a brief outline of changes which occurred in universities in the U.S. , Australia and many other countries from the 1960’s onwards:             a) From the 1960’s onwards, the hippy movement which was especially popular in universities in the United States , Australia and many other nations promoted illicit drug-taking, orgies, homosexuality and lesbianism. Many young male and female university students in the U.S. were carried away by the popular hippy movement and abandoned their previous ethical standards. While high on drugs, they participated with orgies with groups of males and females. At these parties, many drugged students experimented with homosexual, lesbian and bisexual sexual experiences.

      b) After completing their Bachelor degrees, many drug-taking lesbian, bisexual and

male homosexual hippies did Masters degrees and Doctorates and became university lecturers and tutors. From here, they have promoted their lesbian, bisexual and homosexual social agenda.             c) The hippy generation lesbians, bisexuals and homosexuals were also joined by more traditional homosexual university lecturers who were a product of wealthy exclusive same-sex boarding schools and the rule before the 1800’s which stated university lecturers could only be unmarried males. Some of these unmarried males idolized the ancient Greeks and Romans and their paedophile practices and practiced their homosexuality and paedophilia in secret up until the 1960’s when attitudes to homosexuality began to change.             d) These lesbian, bisexual and male homosexual university lecturers have very cleverly linked their social agenda to the worthwhile social movements which aim to remove injustices against blacks, racial minorities, women and the poor.  The Australian Study of Health and Relationships research into child sexual assaults             In their section “Experiences of sexual coercion among a representative sample of adults”, the authors of “The Australian Study of Health and Relationships” stated[33]: “Overall, 4.8% of men and 21.1% of women had experienced sexual coercion, i.e. being forced or frightened into unwanted sexual activity, and 2.8% of men and 10.3% of women had been coerced when aged 16 or younger.”            (Note this confirms the fact that over 20% of sexual assaults against children in Australia are committed by male homosexuals and male bisexuals against boys. This is especially since about 98% of all sexual crimes are committed by males.)

a) In Table 1 “Experiences of being forced or frightened into doing something sexually”[34], the results were:             (i) 32% of those men who had been forced or frightened into doing something sexually were 12 years or younger when these events occurred.             (ii) 25.3% of the men who had been forced or frightened into doing something sexually were from 13 to 16 years of age.             (iii) The above two results added together means almost 57.3% of men who were forced or frightened into doing something sexually were sexually assaulted as children by male homosexuals or male bisexuals (Note about 98% of criminal sexual offenders are male).             (iv) 26.4% of the men who were forced or frightened into doing something sexually were aged 17 to 20 years.             (v) Only 16.3% of the men who were forced or frightened into doing something sexually were 21 years and older.             (vi) 50.9% of the men who were forced or frightened by another person into doing something sexually, experienced this only once and 39.2% experienced this 2 to 5 times.               b) In Table 2 “Demographic correlates of being forced or frightened into doing something sexually”[35], the results were:             (i) of those men who had been previously forced or frightened into doing something sexually, there were much higher correlates for those who presently identified as male homosexuals or bisexuals than those who identified as heterosexuals. The figures were:                                     Heterosexual – 4.5                                    Homosexual – 18.8

Bisexual – 22.7             This means that there is a very strong relationship between many men being practicing homosexuals and bisexuals now and then previously being sexually abused. An example of such tragic unfortunate individuals is the present leader of the Greens political party in Australia . According to The Sydney Morning Herald dated Friday 1 October, 2004

( Sydney , page 18), the present Greens leader moved “to Armidale when he was eight. But life there shuddered to a halt after authorities discovered a teacher had been fondling a number of younger pupils, including… (the present Greens leader).” I feel almost like weeping when I think of what this paedophile teacher did to the present Greens leader and the other boys. This paedophile scarred them for life.            This author of the report stated[36]: “Experience of sexual coercion was significantly more common among men who identified as gay or bisexual than among men who identified as heterosexual (p,0.001).”            (ii) Of those women who had been previously forced or frightened into doing something sexually, there were much higher correlates for those who presently identified as lesbians or bisexuals than those who identified as heterosexuals. The figures were[37]:                                     Heterosexuals – 20.9                                    Lesbian – 35.3                                    Bisexual – 49.3             Here again we see there is a very strong relationship between many women being practicing lesbians and bisexuals and them being previously sexually abused.

            The authors of the report said: “Experience of sexual coercion was significantly more likely among women who identified as lesbian or bisexual rather than heterosexual (p<0.001).” [38]

Therefore, the majority of lesbians and female bisexuals were previously sexually abused by other lesbians, female bisexuals or men. Many of those lesbians who were sexually abused by men probably became lesbians because they developed a hatred of men due to the wicked men who sexually abused them.  Most sexual coercion occurs before 18 years of age             The authors of “The Australian Study of Health and Relationships” recorded the following results of the French ACSF study[39]: “Consistent with the French ACSF study, most sexual coercion occurred at or before 18 years of age.” 

Sexual abuse encourages children to later take illicit drugs

                    In Table 3 “Behavioural correlates of being forced or frightened into doing something sexually – men”[40], we see that the correlation (12.4) between being previously sexually abused and having ever injected illicit drugs is much stronger than the correlation (3.5) between not being previously sexually abused and having ever injected illicit drugs.             In Table 4 “Behavioural correlates of being forced or frightened into doing something sexually – women”[41], the correlation (4.5) between being previously sexually abused and having ever injected illicit drugs is much stronger that the correlation (1.1) between not being previously sexually abused and having ever injected illicit drugs.

A deeper analysis of the results of the survey

 

          In all the surveys from Australia, Britain, Europe and the United States which study the percentages of males and females who have had homosexual partners over the last 1, 2 or 5 years and those males and females who identify now as homosexuals or bisexuals, we always find these figures are dramatically less than these who say that they have had some type of homosexual experience throughout their entire lives. The reasons for this are:             a) many of the latter group may have exposed their genitals as a child or teenager to a small or large group of a mixture of the opposite and same sexes and/or permitted touching of their genitals by a member of the same sex during such encounters. But after these single or a

few encounters, the participants never ever regarded themselves or lived as homosexuals, lesbians or bisexuals.

      b) many who report homosexual experiences throughout their lifetimes did this only

once or twice at drunken or heavy drug-induced orgies. But after this, they never practiced homosexuality, lesbianism or bisexuality.             c) many who went to gaol, were forced or tempted into participating in homosexual or lesbian acts with fellow prisoners. The rates of homosexual and lesbian practice in prisons are extremely high. In 2002, there were 2,166,260 persons in Federal or state gaols in the United States .[42] This was about % of the total American population. Because a majority of these have probably participated in homosexual acts, this greatly increases the percentage of Americans who state they have had a homosexual experience throughout their whole lives. But after leaving prison, many of these people abandon homosexuality and lesbianism. The same applies to Australia except that Australia has a much smaller percentage of its population in gaols. There were only 23,555 prisoners in Australian gaols as at June 30, 2003 .[43]            d) many males who record that have had a homosexual experience throughout their lives had been raped or sexually seduced as children by homosexual or bisexual men. But many of these sexually assaulted boys reject homosexuality as a lifestyle throughout the rest of their lives.  

The Years 10 and 12 Australian government schools survey in 1997  

          In their article “Same-sex attraction, drug injection and binge drinking among Australian adolescents”[44] in the “Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health” in 1999, Anthony M.A. Smith, Jo Lindsay and Doreen A. Rosenthal recorded the results of their cross-section survey through an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire of 3,387 students in Years 10 and 12 from 118 government schools across Australia in 1997. Here are details and results of this survey and some comments by the pro-homosexual and pro-lesbian authors of this survey:             a) The authors stated: “Previous studies employing non-random samples of high schools have suggested that about 10% of Australian adolescents between 14 and 18 years are either attracted to their own sex or unsure of their sexual attraction. The first of these studies examined the prevalence of same-sex attraction among 662 students in years 10 and 11 at four co-educational secondary schools in Melbourne in 1994 and 1995. Evidence was found of lower self-esteem among same-sex attracted young men compared to their opposite sex attracted peers, and higher levels of drug use among same-sex attracted young women when compared to their opposite-sex attracted peers.”            b) Of the total sample of 3,387 years 10 and 12 high school boys and girls, 6.3% indicated that they were attracted to the same sex. This included those who were attracted to both the opposite and same sexes.             c) Of the 763 Year 10 boys, 5.3% said they were attracted to the same sex and of the 737 year 12 boys, the figure was 5.4%. These figures included those attracted to both sexes.             d) Of the 921 year 10 females, 5.3% stated they were attracted to the same sex and of the 966 year 12 females, the figure was 8.4%. These figures included those attracted to both males and females.             e) Of the students in this survey, those who stated they were attracted to members of the same sex had a much higher rate of injecting illegal drugs than those students who were only attracted to the opposite sex. The figures were:  

  Males attracted to same sex

Males attracted to the opposite sex

Females attracted to same sex

Females attracted to the opposite sex

Drug injection sometime throughout life

 7.8

 2.0

 4.6

 1.5

Drug injection during last year

 3.9

 

 1.0

 3.0

 0.9

             f) The authors of the report stated: “We have suggested that the higher levels of binge drinking and injecting drug use among same-sex attracted young people may be related to the lack of safety that they experience.”            But such comments as these are foolish because many other groups have experienced harassment, violence and persecution in government schools but have not had a higher rate of drug abuse than other more favoured groups. Examples are Jewish children in the early 1900’s, Italian and Greek children in the 1950’s and practicing Christian children in recent decades.             A more likely explanation is that some of the environmental and personality characteristics which lead young people to turn to illegal drugs are the same as those which lead them to try homosexuality or bisexuality.             g) The non-response rate to the survey was 32%. There were 213 students (6%) who refused to participate in the survey. Also there were many others who failed to return their consent forms or were absent on the day of the survey. Commenting on this, the authors of the survey stated: “The second issue relates to the non-response rate of 32%. It is known that individuals who participate in sex-related research are more sexually active and hold more liberal attitudes than those who do not participate. The explicit refusal rate in this study was only 6%, with the remainder of the non-response being related to either failure to return the consent form or through being absent on the day of survey administration.”[45]            The fact that those students who are more sexually active and more liberal in their attitudes to sex generally tend to be much keener to participate in sex surveys than students with more traditional attitudes to sex, homosexuality and lesbianism, most likely has inflated the results of this survey related to the estimates of the percentages of Australian students with same-sex attraction.  

Discussion

            The authors of this survey state that they found out the rates of sexual attraction by the following method: “Sexual attraction was assessed through asking, “Which of these statements best describes your sexual feelings at the moment?” with the response categories being: I am attracted only to people of my own sex; I am attracted only to people of the opposite sex; I am attracted to people of both sexes; Not sure. For the purposes of analysis, participants who reported being attracted to their own sex or both sexes were coded as being same-sex attracted and those who were solely attracted to the opposite sex were coded as opposite-sex attracted.”[46]             But note that this is a poor method of gauging homosexual and lesbian sexual attraction. This is because some young people can be attracted to the physical beauty and/or other non-sexual characteristics of someone of their same sex without this being sexual attraction. This is another reason why this survey probably provides inflated results of the percentages of same-sex sexual attraction among years 10 and 12 government high school students in Australia .             Also note that even if a young person experiences sexual attraction to a member of the same sex once or a few times, this does not mean the person is a homosexual or lesbian. Every human has thoughts and feelings enter their minds at different times in their lives but later reject these as inappropriate.

            It is highly likely that a very small percentage of the surveyed students will later decide to be practicing homosexuals and lesbians. But most who stated here that they were attracted to members of the same sex will be practicing heterosexuals in future.

 An increase of Australian females experimenting with lesbian sex

 In their Table 3 “Socio-demographic correlates of homosexual experience” in their

chapter “Homosexual experience and recent homosexual encounters” in the “Australian Study of Health and Relationships” in 2003, researchers Grulich, de Visser, Smith, Rissel and Richters’ record that out of a large sample of 9,576 Australian females, the following age groups had experimented with lesbian sex: [47] Age                  Percentages of females who have experimented with lesbian sex 

16-19                                10.220-29                                11.930-39                                9.640-49                                7.550-59                                3.8

 Comments

 The above is evidence that younger Australian females are experimenting with

lesbian sex in greater numbers than before. An increase from 3.8% in 50-59 year olds to 10.2% of 16-19 year olds and 11.9% of 20-29 year olds is a massive jump.This is further proof that lesbianism is a choice and is not caused by genes. Genetic factors would not increase the percentage of females experimenting with lesbianism from 3.8% to 11.9% in only 30 years. This present study’s percentages on homosexuals and bisexuals is not understated

In Table 1 of its Chapter “Attitudes towards sex in a representative sample of adults”, the Australian Study of Health and Relationships recorded that in Australia in 2003, only 21.4% of men and 25.1% of women agreed that “sex between two adult women is always wrong” and only 36.9% of men and 26.6% of women that “sex between two adult men is always wrong”.

Therefore, considering only a small minority of Australian adults believed that homosexuality and lesbianism is always wrong, it is ridiculous to suggest that many homosexuals, lesbians and bisexuals would reveal in confidential surveys that they practice these sexual choices.

 

The third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the US              From 1988 to 1994, the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States conducted its third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III).[48]             In this survey, males were assessed for a lifetime history of affective disorders and sexual behaviour patterns. There were 5,731 subjects aged 17 to 59 years who were asked the gender of their sexual partners throughout their lifetime.[49] Here are two results of this question from this research study:[50]            a) 2.2% of males reported same sex sexual partners over their entire lifetimes.            b) Only 45% of the males who said they had experienced one or more homosexual sexual experiences after the age of 18 years, identified themselves as homosexuals or

bisexual. The other 55% said they were heterosexual. This was even though they previously had such experimental homosexual experiences.

 The Harry survey of sexual orientation in the US in 1985 

In his "A probability sample of gay males", Joseph Harry reported the results of his national probability sample of 663 males in September 1985 about their sexual orientation.[51]            Here are the results of this survey:

a)      Of his 663 males questioned by phone:i)                    94.57% or 627 said they were heterosexual.ii)                   0 75% or five said they were bisexual.iii)                 2.41% or 16 said they were homosexual.iv)                 2.26% or 15 refused to answer or gave no response.  (Page 96).

b)      Harry said that of the group who said they "don't know" or refused to answer the question about sexual orientation, "they generally resembled the heterosexual group" (page 101).  Harry said that 58% of this group were married while 60% of heterosexuals and 42% of homosexuals or bisexuals were married.  But of this "don't know" or refused-to-answer group, 28% had a homosexual male associate compared to 46% of homosexuals and bisexuals and 6% of heterosexuals having a homosexual male associate.  These facts imply that there were possibly a few undeclared bisexuals or homosexuals in this group of 15.c)      42% of the 31 males who said they were homosexuals or bisexuals, stated they were also currently married.d)      30% of homosexuals and bisexuals and 32% of the heterosexuals had school age children.e)      37% of the homosexuals and bisexuals and 22% of the heterosexuals had less than 11 years of education.f)        41% of the homosexuals and bisexuals and 43% of the heterosexuals had 13 or more years of education.g)      In his "Conclusions", Harry stated: "The present data provide no support for Kinsey's 10% estimate of homosexuality in adult men.  Even making the unlikely assumption that all of the 15 respondents who refused to answer the sexual orientation question were in fact homosexual produces an estimate of only 5.7%.  (Page 102)h)       

The General Social Survey in the U.S. in 1988 

The General Social Survey research of the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) in the United States recorded that out of all the subjects they surveyed in 1988, only 2.0% reported having had homosexual experience in the previous 12 months[52].

 

The National Comorbidity Study in the US 1990 to 1992 In their “Risk of Psychiatric Disorders Among Individuals Reporting Same-sex

Sexual Partners in the National Comorbidity Survey” in the American Journal of Public Health in June 2001, Drs Stephen Gilman, Susan Cochran, Vicki Mays, Michael Hughes, David Ostrow and Ronald Kessler reported the following results of the National Comorbidity

Study – a nationally representative household survey of 5,877 Americans aged 15 to 54 years carried out from 1990 through 1992[53]: 

a)        Only 2.1% of the males and 1.5% of the females “reported 1 or more same-sex partners in the past 5 years.” b)        When the above figures are divided into exclusively homosexual or lesbian and bisexual categories, there were:

 (i)        1.2% of the males who had exclusively homosexual partners in the past 5 years.(ii)       0.9% of the males who had both male and female sex partners in the past 5 years.(iii)     1.1% of females who had exclusively female partners in the past 5 years.

0.4% of females who had both female and male partners in the past 5 years. 

The Berrios et al survey of 1992             In 1992, Daniel C. Berrios, Norman Hearst, Laura Perkins, Gregory Burke, Stephen Sidney, Heather McCreath and Stephen Hulley conducted a survey of blacks and whites aged 21 to 34 years from four US cities-- Chicago , Minneapolis , Oakland in California and Birmingham in Alabama .[54] Here are some of the details and results of this survey[55]:

a)      There were 777 white women who responded to the survey.  This was a 90% response rate.b)      There were 734 black women who responded, representing a 64% response rate.c)      There were 677 white men who responded.  This was a 79% response rate.d)      There were 541 black men who responded.  This was a 48% response rate.e)      2.4% of all the male and female black and white subjects reported having only same-sex sexual partners throughout their lives.f)        9.6% of all male and female black and white subjects reported having both male and female sex partners throughout their lives.g)      Most of those classified as bisexual, when judged by the sexual partners throughout their entire lives, had only sexual partners of the opposite sex (41% of the men and 53% of the women) or of the same sex (32% of men and 26% of women) in the past year. This study is useful but measures sexual behaviour throughout the subjects’ entire lives and not their sexual behaviour and sexual self-identification in the past year or recent years.  Also note because homosexuals tend to congregate in larger American cities and this study deals with only subjects from four large American cities, the results of this study most likely contains higher figures for lifetime homosexual and bisexual behaviour when compared to similar figures for the whole of the United States.

  

The Michael, Gagnon, Laumann and Kolata survey in 1992

 In their "National Health and Social Life Durvey (NHSLS)" which was compiled

from February 14 to September 1992, Robert Michael, John Gagnon, Edward Laumann and Gina Kolata reported on the sexual attitudes and behaviour of their nationally representative sample of 3432 respondents aged 18 to 59 in the US .[56]  In their Table 2 "Comparison of Social Characteristics in NHSLS and US Population", the researchers provided a detailed analysis of gender, age, education, marital status and race/ethnicity variables to show how their 3432 respondents were very similar to figures about the total US population as per the Bureau of the Census, Current Population Survey in 1991.[57]

Some of the major findings of this survey were:   In answer to the question, "Have your sex partners in the past 12 months being exclusively male, both male and female, or exclusively female?"

a)                  2.6% of men said exclusively male.b)                  1% of men said both male and female.c)                  96.3% of men said exclusively female.d)                  1.2% of women said exclusively female.e)                  0.5 % of women said both male and female.f)                   98.3% of women said exclusively male (page 35, Table 1). 

   When men were asked about their selected sexual practices, the following were their responses about having one or more same-gender sex partners: 

                                                      Men aged 45-59     Men aged 18-44                        very appealing                                       2%                          4%                        somewhat appealing                              1%                          2%                        not appealing                                         5%                          5%                        not at all appealing                                92%                        89%                        (page 147, Table 12) 

   When women were asked about their selected sexual practices, the following were their responses about having one or more same gender sexual partners:

                                                   Women aged 45-59   Women aged 18-44                        very appealing                                       2%                          3%                        somewhat appealing                              2%                          3%                        not appealing                                         6%                          9%                        not at all appealing                                90%                        85%

      (page 182, Table 12)These above figures confirm the fact that in recent decades, the number of younger men and women finding having homosexual or lesbian sex partners very appealing or somewhat appealing has greatly increased compared with older men and women.  Among the older men aged 45 to 59 years surveyed, 3% stated that they found having homosexual sex partners very appealing or somewhat appealing but among younger men aged 18 to 44 years surveyed, this figure doubled to 6%. Among the older women aged 45 to 59 years surveyed, 4% stated that they found having lesbian sex partners very appealing or somewhat appealing but among younger women aged 18 to 44 years surveyed, this figure increased to 6%.   Michael et al state that much high percentages of college students identified as male homosexuals and lesbians: “Our study shows that twice as many college educated men identify themselves as homosexual as men with high-school educations, 3% of college-educated men said they were gay as compared to 1.5% of men with high-school educations.  For women, the trend is even more striking.  Women with college educations are eight times more likely to identify themselves as lesbians as are women with a high school education.  Four percent

of female college graduates identify themselves as lesbians as compared to less than half a percent of female high-school graduates." (page 182)   About 3% of the adult men surveyed self-identified as homosexual (page 209).   About 5% of the adult men surveyed said that they had had sex with another man since they turned 18 years of age (page 209).   Michael al also reported: "Gay men with AIDS interviewed in the early 1980s reported they had on average 1100 partners in their lifetimes and some had had many more.  These numbers may sound implausible, but with anonymous sex in bathhouses and clubs, a man could be the receptive partner for anal sex with a dozen or more partners in a weekend."  (Page 209)   Michael et al also stated: "Far more women and men experimented with homosexuality than currently identify themselves as lesbians or gays. It seems likely that many try it and then go back to being heterosexuals, neither desiring others of their own gender nor finding the idea of homosexual sex very appealing."  (Page 182)   22% of the women surveyed said that they had been forced to do something sexually at some time (page 223).  In 99.4% of cases, the offenders were males and in 0.6% of cases they were females (page 223).   2% of the men surveyed said that they had been forced to do something sexually at some time (page 223).  One third of these men said they were forced by another man (page 223).  It is unclear if Michael et al were referring to forced sex only as adult victims or as adults and/or children.

 The Choi et al U.S. survey in 1992

 In their “Sexual Harassment, Sexual Coercion and HIV Risk Among U.S. Adults 18-

49 Years” in the “AIDS and Behavior” Journal, researchers Kyung-Hee Choi, Dianne Binson, Melissa Adelson and Joseph A. Catania record the results of a national probability sample of 2,030 adults aged 18-49 years. [58] Two of its results were[59]: 

a)                  24 out of the 1,002 males or 2.4% were male homosexuals or male bisexuals.b)         17 of the 1,027 females or 1.7% were lesbians or female bisexuals. The Billy et al study in 1993 

In their "The Sexual Behaviour of Men in the United States", John O.G. Billy, Koray Tanfer, William R. Grady and Daniel H. Klepinger reported on their nationally representative sample study of 3321 men aged 20 to 39 years from households in the coterminous United States.[60]  This survey was based on a stratified, clustered, disproportionate area probability sample design.[61]  The final sample of this study was weighted on the basis of the characteristics of the population to account for stratification, clustering, disproportionate area sampling and over-sampling of black men, and also to adjust for differential non-response.[62]  The response rate to this survey was 70%.[63]

In their Table 4: “The percentage of men aged 20-39 who have experienced same-gender sexual activity during the last 10 years, by social and demographic characteristics", Billy et al record that[64]:

(a)    only 2.3% of the men had engaged in same-gender sexual activity during the last 10 years.(b)    1.2% of the men had engaged in bisexual sexual activity and 1.1% in exclusively same-gender sexual activity.(c)    There were large increases in number of 22 to 24-year-old men engaging in bisexual (3%) or exclusively homosexual sexual activity (2.3%) during the previous 10 years compared with older 35 to 39 year old men engaging in bisexual (1.3%) or exclusively homosexual sexual activities (0.7%).

The percentage of men who were educated at a college or higher-level and who engaged in bisexual practices in the previous 10 years was 4%.  This figure was dramatically higher than the percentages of men who had engaged in bisexual practices in the previous 10 years and had only graduated from high school (1.7%) or only completed some high school (0.1%).  The latter figures provide further evidence that higher education in the US provides some type of direct or indirect encouragement for males to experiment with same-sex sexual activities.

 

The Janus Study of 1993 In 1993, Dr Samuel S. Janus and Dr Cynthia L. Janus presented “The Janus Report on

Sexual Behavior”. This report presented the findings and discussion on their research between 1983 to 1992 into sexual behaviour in the U.S. of 1,335 men and 1,384 women who were 18 years and older. Note[65]: 

a)        In answer to the question “Have you had homosexual experiences”, 22% of the men and 17% of the women answered “Yes”.b)        Of the 294 men who said they had had homosexual experiences once or more throughout their lives:

 (i)        5% said this occurred once(ii)       56% said this happened occasionally(iii)     13% said this occurred frequently(iv)     26% said it was still happening in an ongoing manner.

 So this means that 74%  c)        Of the 235 women who said they had had lesbian experiences once or more throughout their lives:

 (i)        6% said this occurred once(ii)       67% stated it happened occasionally(iii)     6% said this occurred frequently(iv)     21% said it was still happening in an ongoing manner.

 So this means that 79%  d)        When asked about the sexual orientation,

 (i)        4% of the men said they were homosexual and 5% said they were bisexual. This is 9% in total.

2% of the women said they were lesbian and 3% said they were bisexual. This is 5% in total. 

The Vermont Youth Risk Behaviour Survey in 1995             In 1998 in their "Victimisation, use of violence and drug use at school among male adolescents who engage in same-sex sexual behaviour", researchers Robert Du Rant, Daniel Krowchuk and Sara H. Sinal recorded the details and results of the Vermont Youth Risk Behaviour Survey in 1995 in the American state of Vermont .[66] Here are some of the details and results of the survey:

a)      The original sample consisted of 60.8% of all 8th to 12th grade male and female students in the State of Vermont , but excluded economically disadvantaged minority adolescents from inner-city areas.  The students came from 79 randomly selected public and private schools.b)      85% of the sample completed usable survey questionnaires.  This equaled 21,297 students who completed voluntary anonymous survey forms.c)      Of the boy students surveyed, 36% or 3886 consistently answered numerous questions which revealed they had been or were sexually active.d)      Of these sexually active boys, 8.7% reported having one or more male sexual partners in the past.e)      Of the sexually active boys, 2.2% reported having one male sex partner in the past, 0.7% had 2 partners, 0.6% had three partners, 0.3% had 4 partners, 0.2% had 5 partners and 3.2% had 6 or more partners.f)        Of the male students who had sex with only one male partner in the past, 44% also reported having had sex with two or more females in the past.g)      Of the male students who had sex with 5 or more male partners in the past, 79% also reported having had sex with two or more female partners.h)      Of the female students who were sexually active, 4.9% reported having sex with other females.i)         

The General Social Survey in 1998 in the U.S. In the research paper “American Sexual Behaviour: Trends, Socio-demographic

Differences and Risk Behaviour”’ Tom W. Smith from the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago reported the results of the General Social Survey Topical Report No. 25 dated December 1998. [67] This survey was completed in the United States .

In the section “Gender of Sexual Partners”, Smith states[68]: “Few debates have been so contentious as the controversy over the sexual orientation of Americans (Billy, et al., 1993; Stokes and McKirnan, 1993; Michaels, 1997; and Swann, 1993). The gay and lesbian communities have long adopted 10% as the portion of the population that is homosexual. However, a series of recent national studies (Table 8A) indicate that only about 2-3% of sexually active men and 1-2 % of sexually active women are currently engaging in same gender sex. These national American estimates are consistent with figures from local communities in the United States (Trocki, 1992; McQuillan, Ezzati-Rice, Siller, Visscher, and Hurley, 1994; Guterbock, 1993; and Rogers and Turner, 1991) indirect measurements (Aguilar and Hardy, 1991), and statistics from Great Britain, France, Norway and Denmark (AIDS Investigators, 1992; Johnson, Wadsworth, Welling, Bradshaw and Field, 1992; Biggar and Melbye, 1992; Melby and Biggar, 1992; Sundet, et al., 1988; Sandfort, 1998 and Diamond, 1993) (Table 8B). Rates of same gender contact increase as the reference period is extended. Recent figures (Table 9) indicated that 3.0% of sexually active males have had a male sexual partner in the last 12 months, 3.9% during the last five years, and 5.9% since age 18 (See also Smith, 1991a and Michael, Laumann, and Gagnon, 1993). As the time frame is lengthened, the % of men with only male partners declines. Over the last 12 months 2.4% are gay and 0.6% are bisexual, over the last five years it is 2.5% gay and 1.4% bisexual, and since age 18 less than 1 % are gay and 4%+ bisexual.”

Note that Smith stated, “Unless otherwise indicated these terms (“gays” and “lesbians”) will include “bisexuals……….”[69]

Smith also recorded:[70]“Second, gays, but not lesbians, are distinctive in congregating in the largest central cities. About 8.5% of men in large central cities have had a same sex partner in the last year as have 9.6% over the last 5 years and 14.7% since age 18. Rates are lowest outside of metropolitan areas. Lesbians, like gays, are under-represented in non-metropolitan areas. Third, more gays are found in the lower income categories and among blacks. Race is unrelated to being lesbian (except weakly for the lifetime figures) and low

income is only marginally related to being lesbian. This may partly reflect both homosexual activity in prisons and male, homosexual prostitution. Education does not consistently differentiate among homosexuals. Fourth, lesbians, but not gays, are more common among younger age groups. This could indicate an increase in homosexual activity among women across cohorts (see also Rogers and Turner, 1991). Finally, lesbians, but not gays, attend church less than heterosexuals. About 3.4. % of women who rarely attend church have had a female sexual partner in the last year compared to only 1.3% of those who attend regularly.”

In Section C2 “Socio-demographic Difference Among Women” of Table 9 “Gender of Sexual Partners (Sexually active only)”, Smith records the General Social Survey 1998, in the United States found that there were increasing percentages from each generation of American women who had lesbian or bisexual sexual experiences or in recent decades: [71]

The Garofalo et al study of 4159 9th to 12th Grade American Students  

In 1998 in their “The Association Between Health Risk Behaviours and Sexual Orientation Among a School – based sample of Adolescents” in the Pediatrics journal, researchers Robert Garofalo, R. Cameron Wolf, Shari Kessel, Judith Palfrey and Robert H. Du Rant recorded the result of their study of an anonymous representative sample of 4159 male and female students who were in 9th to 12th grades[72] in the U.S.

The following are some of the results: 

(a)    Of all the students surveyed, 0.6%  said they were male homosexuals or lesbians and 1.9% stated they were bisexuals. This was 2.5% or 104 students in total.(b)    An extra 1.5% of students said they were “not sure” whether they were heterosexuals, homosexuals, lesbians or bisexuals.(c)    Garofalo stated:“ Model I, Onset of Behaviours Before Age 13, showed use of cocaine before age 13 years as strongly associated with gay, lesbian and bisexual orientation (odds ratio [OR]: 6.10;95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.45-15.20)….Early initiation of sexual intercourse (2.15; 10.6 – 4.38), marijuana use (1.98; 1.04 – 4.09), and alcohol use (1.82; 1.03 – 3.23) also was associated with gay, lesbian and bisexual orientation. Model II, Lifetime Frequencies of Behaviours, showed that frequency of crack cocaine use (1.38; 1.06 – 1.79, inhalant use (1.30; 1.05 – 1.61), and number of sexual partners (1.27; 1.06 – 1.43) was associated with gay, lesbian and bisexual orientation.”

 The Mitchell, Hirschman and Hall study of college students in the US 

In 1999 in their "Attributions of victim responsibility, pleasure and trauma in male rape", researchers Damon Mitchell, Richard Hirschman and Gordon Hall recorded the results of their research into 396 students from a general psychology

course at a large Midwestern American University .[73] Of these students, 181 were males and 215 females.  The students were recruited through a voluntary sign-up sheet and by randomly telephoning general psychology students who had previously indicated they were interested in volunteering for future experiments.               Of these 396 students:

a)      97% identified themselves as primarily heterosexual.b)      1.5% identified as primarily bisexual.c)      1% identified as primarily homosexual.

  US surveys on percentages of homosexuals, lesbians and bisexuals              In the article “Homosexuals and the 10% Fallacy” in the Wall Street Journal dated March 31, 1993, it recorded the following results of surveys in the United States :             a) In the U.S. in 1989, a nation-wide household survey of 1,537 adults was conducted by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago . This survey found that among sexually active adults over 18 years, only 1.2% of males and 1.2% of females practiced homosexual activity in the preceding year. Also the survey found that only 0.6 to 0.7% of the sample of American adults said they were exclusively practicing homosexuals all of their lives. Also 4.9% to 5.6% of both sexes reported having after they were 18 years old sexual partners of both genders.             The fact that only 1.2% of males and 1.2% of females in the U.S. had experienced homosexual sex in the previous 12 months but 4.9% to 5.6% of both sexes reported having such experiences after they were 18 years of age shows most of the latter group experimented once or more with homosexual sex but then abandoned it.             b) In 1986-1987, the Minnesota Adolescent Health Survey did a stratified cluster sample of 36,741 public school students in the 7th to 12th grades and found that only 0.6% of boys and 0.2% of girls identifies themselves as “most or 100% homosexual” and 0.7% of boys and 0.8% of girls identified themselves as bisexual. This meant only 1.3% of boys and 1.0% of girls said they were either homosexual or bisexual.             The same survey found that 10.1% of males and 11.3% of females were unsure what they were.             This typifies the results of pro-homosexual and pro-lesbian propaganda in the American public school system and in the American media in the late 1900’s which has made so many children at the normally confusing time of adolescence be confused about their sexual preferences. If teachers and the media keep telling children that their genes may cause them to be homosexual or lesbian, it is little wonder many in their teenage years wonder what they are, especially when in these years they often compare their own appearance to that of others of their own sex and can begin to admire the physical beauty of some others of the same sex.             c) At the time of the 1992 Presidential election in the United States , only 2.4% of voters described themselves as homosexual.             d) From 1988 onwards, the US Census Bureau conducted comprehensive surveys each 3 months for the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control. These surveys involved about 10,000 subjects each time. The surveys were on “AIDS knowledge and attitudes”. One of the questions asked was whether “you are a man who has had sex with another man at some time since 1977, even one time.” Of over 50,000 men surveyed, between only 2 to 3% answered “Yes” to the above question or to four other questions about blood transfusions, intravenous drug use and so on which were also asked in the survey. This means probably less that 2% of the 50,000 men said they had had sex with another man since 1977.             e) In the period prior to 1988, the New York City’s Department of Health used the mythical 10% estimated figure of practicing homosexual men and the known rates of

infection which HIV among homosexual men to estimate the size of the city’s HIV-infected male homosexual population. But by 1988, the Department of Health realized the 10% figure was a fallacy and began using a 2% figure instead to do their calculations.  

The Kendler et al study estimate of homosexual percentages in U.S. 

In their “Sexual Orientation in a U.S National Sample of Twin and Non-twin Sibling Pairs” in The American Journal of Psychiatry in November 2000, researches Dr Kenneth S. Kendler, Dr Laura M. Thornton, Stephen E. Gilman and Dr Ronald C. Kessler reported the details and results of their study of the sexual orientation of twins and non-twin sibling pairs.

The researchers obtained a sample of 2968 male and female individuals. This sample came from two sources:

 (a)    The first was from a national telephone / mail survey completed in the U.S. in 1995-1996 by the John D and Catherine T MacArthur Foundation Network on Successful Midlife Development. The final sample obtained from this source was 1,380 male and female non-twin siblings.(b)    The second source of the Kendler et al final sample came from a representative national sample of about 50,000 households obtained through ongoing national omnibus surveys conducted by ICR / AUS Consultants and Bruskin Associates Kendler et al obtained a sample of 1,588 male and female twins from this source.

 Adding these two samples together, the result was 1,380 plus 1,588 equalling 2,968

individuals. 

ResultsOf the total sample of 2,968 individuals, 2.1% of 61 did not provide information about

their sexual orientation.Of the remaining 2,907 individuals, 2.8% or 81 reported they were either homosexual

or bisexual in sexual orientation.In the sample, 3.1% of the male subjects and 2.5% of the female subjects stated they

were homosexual or bisexual.With controls for age and gender, the rate of homosexual and bisexual sexual

orientation for twins did not differ significantly from non-twin siblings. 

The Add Health Study of year 7 to 12 American students In their “Same-sex romantic attraction and experience of violence in adolescence” in

the American Journal of Public Health in June 2001, researchers Stephen Russell, Brian Franz and Anne Driscoll record the details of the Add Health Study survey of more than 12,000 male and female adolescents in grades 7 to 12 in the United States.[74] Some of the results were:[75] 

a)        In answer to the survey questions “Have you ever had a romantic attraction to a female?” and “Have you ever had a romantic attraction to a male?”, 1% reported exclusively same-sex romantic attraction and 5% reported bisexual attraction to both males and females.

11.4% reported no attraction to any member of either sex. 

The McDonald et al Canadian study of 1988             In 1988, Noni MacDonald, George Wells, William Fisher, Wendy Warren, Matthew King, Jo-Anne Doherty and William Bowie did a study of 5514 male and

female students from first-year classes in community colleges and universities across Canada and aged from 16 to 24 years.[76] Two of the results of this survey were[77]:

a)      1% of the students identified themselves as homosexuals.b)      1% of the students identified as bisexuals. 

The Canada Youth and AIDS Study in 1988 

In 1988, the Canada Youth and AIDS study surveyed a nation-wide probability sample of 5,514 Canadian first year college or university students who were younger than 25 years[78]. This study used a self-administered questionnaire. Of the students who were asked to participate in the survey, 97% agreed to this.

 This highly representative Canadian survey found that among college and university

students in Canada under 25 years of age, only 1% were practicing homosexuals and 1% practicing bisexuals[79].

 The Christchurch Health and Development Study in New Zealand in 1998 

In the “Archives of General Psychiatry” in 1999, Dr David M. Fergusson, L. John Horwood and Dr Annette L. Beautrais record that in 1998 as a part of the Christchurch Health and Development Study, 1,007 sample members aged 21 years from the city of Christchurch in New Zealand were questioned abut what the latter believed were their sexual orientations and about their same-sex partners since the age of 16 years[80]. This involved a representative population sample[81].

 The results of the above were:

(a)    Only 28 or 2.8% of the 1,007 sample members stated they were male homosexual, lesbian or bisexual sexual orientation[82].(b)    Only 2.4% of the sample had actually had some-sex sexual contact since they were 16 years old.

 The English-Welsh Survey in 1984-1987

 In their “Sexual behaviour of young and middle aged men in England and Wales ” in

the British Medical Journal, Dr David Forman and Dr Clair Chilvers presented the results of their survey into the sexual behaviour of a randomly selected sample of 480 white men aged 15 to 49 years who were interviewed.[83]

 Here are some of the results of their survey:

 (a)    Of the 480 men, eight men or 1.7% of the men responded positively to the question “Have you ever had homosexual intercourse”. The authors stated in their abstract: “The number of men having had homosexual intercourse was lower than is widey thought.” This is significant considering the question was referring to all of their previous lives and this survey was referring to all of their previous lives and this survey did not define homosexual intercourse narrowly just as anal intercourse.  So the respondents could have interpreted the question as including oral sexual intercourse or mutual intercourse. This question was not as broad as some questions included in other surveys.  Some surveys ask broad question like, “Have you had any homosexual experience in the past?” Questions worded like the latter could include activities like children showing their genitals to children of the same sex or reading a homosexual book with a child of the same sex and so on.

(b)    The response rate of the survey was 83.2% with 56 men refusing to be interviewed, 20 being not able to be traced, 10 being not approached because of the advice of their G.P and 11 saying they would not be interviewed unless their wives were present.(c)    Forman and Chilvers also wrote (pages 1140 – 1141): “Homosexual intercourse might be particularly underascertained, so possibly our figure of 1.7% is below the true proportion. One way of validating our finding is to look at similar data for the patient with cancer of this testes for whom these men were matched controls. There was a very low rate of refusal among the patients (less than 1.5%), and they had more motivation to report the truth. Fourteen of the 480 patients (2.9%) reported having had homosexual intercourse. Thus, unless homosexuality is associated with cancer of the testes (a hypothesis for which there is no evidence), we might conclude that if there was selection or underreporting in the control group 3% would be a reasonable upper limit for the proportion of men who had had homosexual intercourse.  This figure is in good agreement with McQueen et al’s figure of 2.8% of men reporting and kind of sexual contact with a person of the same sex in the past five years. It is also compatible with the lower end of a recent estimate by the Department of Health that 3-7% of adult men are homosexual. This range was estimated from the results of a study in 1978, which showed that 9% of men attending sexually transmitted disease clinics were homosexual, after allowance was made for the overrepresentation of homosexuals in the sample. ….Thus frequently cited figures such as 10% of men being more or less exclusively homosexual cannot be regarded as applicable to the general population.”

Note that the above Department of Health figure is a wild “guesstimate”. This is because in the late 1970’s, homosexuals in Western countries had a much higher rate of AIDS than heterosexual males and as a result, figures from men attending sexually transmitted disease clinics would be a poor unrepresentative sample. It was silly guesses like this which helped to perpetuate the 10% practicing homosexual myth in many Western countries.

In their Table 5 “Numbers of homosexual and heterosexual partners of eight men reporting homosexual intercourse”, Forman and Chilvers reveal that: 

   (i)        The first man was single, aged 23, and had had 1 casual homosexual partner, 2 to 5 regular heterosexual partners and 2 – 10 causal heterosexual partners and 25 or more casual heterosexual partners.  (ii)        The second man was married, aged 43, had had 1 homosexual casual partner, had 11 or more regular heterosexual partners.(iii)        The third man was married, age 35, had had 1 casual homosexual partner, 2 to 5 regular heterosexual partners and 11 – 24 casual heterosexual partners.(iv)        The fourth man was single, aged 26, had had 1 casual homosexual partner, 1 regular heterosexual partner and 11 – 24 casual heterosexual partners. (v)        The fifth man was married, aged 39, had had regular homosexual partner and 1 regular heterosexual partner.(vi)        The sixth man was single, aged 25, had had 1 regular homosexual partner and 2-10 casual homosexual partners.(vii)        The seventh man was married, aged 33, had had 2 to 5 regular homosexual partners, 2-10 casual homosexual partners, 1 regular heterosexual partner and 11-24 casual heterosexual partners.(viii)        The eighth man had 2 – 5 regular homosexual partners, 25 or more casual homosexual partners and 1 casual heterosexual partner.

 Note: the “2 to 5”, “2 to 10”, “11 to 24” and “25 or more” categories in the above

must have been alternatives each surveyed subject had to tick or agree with somehow on their survey forms. Also observe that only on of the above 8 men acknowledging homosexual intercourse had always been an exclusive homosexual.

  

The Coxell, King, Mezey and Gordon Survey in 1999 

In the “Bristish Medical Journal” dated March 27, 1999, there is an article called “Lifetime prevalence, characteristics and associated problems at non-consensual sex in men: cross sectional survey” by Adrian Coxell, Michael King, Gillian Mezey and Dawn Gordon[84].

In their design cross sectional survey, Coxell et al contacted 3,142 adult males attending one of 18 general practices throughout England[85]. They had a 79% response rate[86]. This resulted in 2,474 male subjects[87].

Out of these 2,474 subjects, 3.15% reported being homosexual or bisexual males.[88] 

The nationwide British survey of 1991-1992             In their book “Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles”, Anne Johnson, Jane Wadsworth, Kaye Wellings, Julia Field and Sally Bradshaw record the results of their 1991-1992 nation-wide survey in Britain of 18,876 adults aged 16 to 59 years.[89] The subjects included 8,384 males and 10,492 females. Here are the results of the interview aspects of the survey[90]:             a) only 0.5% of the males said they were sexually attracted solely to males.            b) 5.0% of the males said they were sexually attracted to both males and females. But note 4% of males were mostly attracted to females and only sometimes to males. So only 1% of males were attracted mostly to males or equally to males and females.             c) only 0.3% of the females stated they were sexually attracted solely to females.

      d) 4.2% of the females said they were sexually attracted to both females and males.

But note 3.8% of the females said they were attracted mostly to males. So this means only 0.4% of females surveyed were attracted mostly to females or equally to both males and females.             e) only 0.4% of males had experienced solely homosexual sex.            f) 4.8% of males had had sexual experiences with both males and females.                      g) only 0.1% of females had experienced solely lesbian sex.            h) 2.5% of females had had sexual experiences with both males and females.            Commenting on the fact that they discovered that practicing bisexuals were a bigger group than practicing male and female homosexuals, the authors stated: “The high prevalence of bisexuality is well documented in surveys of homosexual behaviour. Weinberg and Williams (1974) found that 36-59% (depending on the country) of predominantly homosexual individuals studied had also had heterosexual intercourse. Contemporary British surveys show the proportion of homosexual men reporting both male and female partners in a lifetime to be between 58% and 61% (Boulton & Weatherburn, 1990)”[91] The results of the self-completion booklet questions              In their answers to the self-completion booklet which was one of the survey tools, the following results occurred[92]:             a) 3.6% of males and 1.7% of females said they had experienced homosexual or lesbian genital contact. These figures were less than those which measured any type of homosexual experience and which were also derived from the self-completion booklet. The latter figures were 6.1% of males and 3.4% of females reported having homosexual experiences. This infers that when answering these questions about homosexual experience, some of the male and female respondents believed that activities excluding genitals could be termed homosexual. This is an important finding because it shows that many surveys claiming to measure homosexual and lesbian sexual experiences may be partly measuring contact which excludes genitals. For example, this may include warmly cuddling a known homosexual or deliberately exhibiting your genitals as a child or teenager to a member of the same sex.

            b) 3.5% of males and 1.7% of females had had at least one homosexual partner in their whole lives.             c) Only 1.1% of males and just 0.4% of females had had at least one homosexual partner in the past two years.            d) Only 1.4% of males and just 0.6% of females had had at least one homosexual partner in the past five years.             e) There were far higher percentages of homosexuals and lesbians in the upper social and/or economic classes in Britain that what there were in the middle and working classes. This survey used the new system of classifying social classes into categories I and II (the upper classes), III NM , III M, IV, V and other. For example, among upper class males:                         (i) 5.8% had homosexual genital contact throughout their whole lives while other social groupings had figures of 3.3%, 1.6% and 2.7%.                         (ii) 5.8% had one or more homosexual partners throughout their lives while other social groupings had figures of only 3.1%, 1.7%, and 2.8%.             Among upper social and/or economic class females:                         (i) 2.4% had lesbian genital contact while other social groupings had lesser figures of 1.4%, 0.7% and 1.6%.                         (ii) 2.5% had one or more homosexual partners throughout their lives while other social groupings had figures of only 1.4%, 0.8% and 1.6%.             Once again, we see that male homosexuals and lesbians come disproportionately from those groups with greater power, authority and influence in society.             f) Probably partly related to the above is the fact that this study found that males and females in Britain who had been to boarding schools had much higher rates of homosexual experiences, homosexual genital contact and having one or more homosexual or lesbian partners ever that what males and females who did not attend boarding schools had. At the boarding schools, many of which are run by churches, the students are single sex and many of the teachers are unmarried. Out of 412 men and 342 women who had attended boarding schools and 7925 men and 10,079 women who had not attended boarding schools, note the following figures[93]:

   % Men who

attended boarding school

% having one or more same sex partners over life 

 9.5

 1.75

             But when we examine the figures for having one or more homosexual partners over the last 5 years, the differences between boarding school and non-boarding school students is not as pronounced[94]:                        (i) 2% of former male boarding school students have had one or more homosexual partners over the last 5 years, while the lesser figure of about 1.5% of former male non-boarding school students have done the same.

            (ii) Almost 1% of former female boarding school students have had one or more lesbian partners over the last five years, while the lesser figure of about 0.5% of former female non-boarding students have done the same.             While the differences between 2% and 1.5% for male homosexuals and the difference between the almost 1% and 0.5% for lesbians may not seem much, these differences are highly significant since we are dealing with all very small figures. For the almost 1% figure is almost double the 0.5% figure.             The social significance of these differences between these figures are:             (i) In Britain , the boarding schools usually provide a higher proportion of university students, lawyers, judges, doctors, teachers, university lecturers, journalists, politicians and powerful people in British society than do non-boarding schools. Because these boarding schools produce proportionately more homosexuals and lesbians that do non-boarding schools, the boarding schools have helped to spread the influence of homosexuality and lesbianism in key places of power and authority in British society.             (ii) The British boarding schools produce many students who become Anglican clergy and teachers of exclusive high-fee Anglican schools. This explains why so many Anglican clergy and teachers at high-fee Anglican schools are homosexuals and paedophiles and have sexually abused school children and promoted acceptance of homosexuality in the Church.  Dubious Speculation              The authors of this report also claimed: “An important caveat here is that since homosexual sex is stigmatized in Britain , it can be expected to be under – rather than over-reported. For the same reason, it is possible that some people who had experienced homosexual sex would be less willing to participate in the survey. Because of possible reporting and response bias, all prevalence figures relating to homosexual activity should be regarded as minimum estimates.”[95]            But note this is dubious speculation. The researcher M. Dunne in his “Sex Surveys: What does it mean when thirty or forty percent don’t participate?” in “Venereology Journal” (1998,11:33-7) argues strong that many sex surveys produce inflated figures because many conservative types of people do not consent to participate in these surveys because they do not like discussing their personal sexual details with strangers and as a result, the sample used is unrepresentative of the real population of the relevant nation.             Other surveys from Britain, Scotland, the U.S. and Europe             Commenting on other research into the prevalence of homosexuality, lesbianism and bisexuality in Britain, Scotland, the U.S., France, and Norway, Johnson et al state: “As Table 7.4 shows, 6.1% of men reported some kind of homosexual experience, 3.6% genital contact with a man and 1.4% having had a male sexual partner within the last two years. The equivalent figures for women are 3.4%, 1.7% and 0.6%. Comparisons with other surveys are limited by variation in question wording and by differences in the age range of the sample, timing of fieldwork, etc., but selecting the appropriate definition from the questionnaire allows some comparisons to be made. The figure of 3.6% for male homosexual genital contact is higher that that found in other British surveys. Forman and Chilvers (1989), for example, found that 1.7% of the sample of 480 white British males aged 15-49 gave a positive answer to the question, ‘Have you ever had homosexual intercourse’, through admittedly the question working in that case was ambiguous. McQueen et al. (1991) asked a general population sample aged 18-60 from Scotland and London, ‘Do you or have you engaged in any sexual activities with a person of your own sex?’, to which 2.3% of men reported having done so ever, and 0.9% in the past 5 years. The question was not asked of women.             Results from this survey are, however, remarkable consistent with those of other, non-British surveys, through the comparisons are in most cases possible only for men. Rogers and Turner (1991), in a comparison of three contemporary national surveys in the USA , derive lifetime prevalence estimates of male-male experience within the range 4.8%-4.9%.

Prevalence estimates for male-male contact within the last year lie within the range of 1.2%-2.4%.             The French national survey of sexual lifestyles found that 4.1% of men reported at least one occurrence of intercourse with a person of the same sex during their lifetime (ASCF Investigators, 1992). Sundet et al. (1998), from a random sample survey of the Norwegian population aged 18-60, reported that 3.5% of men and 3.0% of women claim to have had at least one same-gender sexual partner, which again is consistent with the British data for men. Sundet et al. also asked about same-sex partners in the last 3 years, a time period which is not directly comparable with the time periods of 2 and 5 years in this survey, and derived figures of 0.9% for men and 0.9% for women.             The aggregate figures show a marked difference in the prevalence of same-sex experience between men and women. While 6.1% of men have had some kind of homosexual experience, only 3.4% of women have done so, and this ratio of roughly 2:1 is consistent across all definitions despite the similarity in the prevalence of same-sex attraction. This is in contrast to the Norwegian data, in which no difference was found between men and women (Sundet et al., 1988).”[96]            The majority who experiment return exclusively to heterosexuality              Commenting on the fact that most people who experiment with homosexual or lesbian practices abandon these and return to exclusive heterosexuality, the authors of the survey state: “The difference in prevalence between lifetime and current homosexual experience points to the likelihood that homosexual experience is often a relatively isolated or passing event. Almost certainly, respondents who report having had some homosexual experience but no genital contact (2.4% or men and 1.7% of women) are predominantly those for whom the same-gender experience was a transient part of their sexual development. For the majority of respondents reporting same-gender genital contact, the event took place more than 5 years ago.             The proportion of respondents reporting ever having a same-gender sexual partner is higher than in more recent time periods, for both men and women. Ever having had a male sexual partner was reported by 3.5% of men, 1.4% in the last 5 years and 1.1% in the last year. For women, the comparable figures are 1.7%, 0.6% and 0.4% respectively (Table 7.4). This ‘seemingly episodic character’ of same-gender sexual contacts is noted by Rogers and Turner (1991) for men, and our data seem to confirm this for women too…             Homosexual experience occurring for the first time in the early teens is unlikely to lead on to more consistent homosexual behaviour. Men and women whose first experience of same-gender sex occurred before the age of 16 were less likely to have had genital contact, and less likely to report having had a same-gender sexual partner within the last 5 years (Fig. 7.7) than those for whom this experience occurred at the age of 16 or later. Other sources suggest that later homosexual experiences are more important in predicting more persistent homosexual orientation (Dank, 1971).             These findings at least support the view that for some, sexual development is characterized by a labile stage of orientation preceding a later state of greater stability. A form of bisexuality prevalent in early adulthood may represent a transitional phase in which preferences are tested through experimentation with different lifestyles and relationships.  Active dominant and passive partners              Johnson et al also commented on the fact that many studies have found that only a minority of homosexuals these days remain permanently as the active dominant or passive partners in homosexual sex: “A common belief relating to homosexual relationships is that they mimic heterosexual patterns of sexual activity, adopting complementary masculine and feminine roles (Larson, 1982). Despite the popular stereotype, data from purposive samples indicate that most gay men experience insertive and receptive intercourse. This evidence is (Saghir & Robins, 1973; Harry and De Vall, 1978; Weatherburn et al., 1992) that for all age

groups, the majority of homosexuals tend to interchange insertive and receptive roles. Project Sigma data, for example, show that of homosexual men who had anal intercourse in the last year, 22.5% were exclusively the insertive partner, 16.9% were exclusively the receptive partner and 60.6% interchanged modes (Weatherburn et al, 1992). This is also the case in our data, as shown in Fig. 7.18”[97]            While this may be true for adult homosexual and lesbian sexual encounters, most homosexual and lesbian paedophile sexual encounters involve children acting as the passive partners.             A comment on Kinsey’s statistics 

Johnson et al also referred to Alfred Kinsey’s statistics on homosexuality in 1948 and lesbianism in 1953 in the U.S. : “Statistics have political significance in so far as they have the potential to normalize particular practices. For this reason Kinsey’s findings, indicating a larger than expected prevalence of same-gender sexual practice, were greeted enthusiastically by the homosexual community.”[98]But as shown later in the Chapter “The 10% homosexuals and lesbians myth”, Kinsey’s statistics were grossly inflated by his usage of a poor unrepresentative research sample which included an excessive number of criminals in gaol, sex offenders and male prostitutes. As a result of deliberately using such a poor sample, Kinsey and his pro-paedophile co-researcher Wardell Pomeroy wrongly popularized the idea that homosexuals, lesbians and bisexuals were a much higher percentage of the U.S. population than they actually were. They almost certainly did this in order to pressure the U.S. government to legalise male homosexuality, lesbianism and homosexual paedophilia.

 

Statistics from Norway , Belgium and Netherlands 

In their Table 8B “A Summary of Estimates of the Percent of Adult Europeans with Same Gender Sexual Partners”, Smith recorded the following statistics about male homosexuals and lesbians in some European countries[99]: 

a)        In Norway , 3.5% of males and 3.0 of females aged 18 to 60 years in 1987 had had same-sex sexual partners on at least one occasion throughout their entire lives (Sundet et al, 1988).b)        In Norway , 0.9% of males and 0.9% of females aged 18 to 60 years in 1987 had had same-sex sexual partners on at least one occasion in the previous 3 years (Sundet et al, 1988).c)        In Belgium , 6.1% of males and 2.4% of females aged 18 to 49 years in 1993 had had same-sex sexual partners on at least one occasion throughout all their lives (Sandfort, 1998).d)        In Belgium , 1.6% of males and 0.7% of females aged 18 to 49 years in 1993 had had same sex-same sexual partners on at least one occasion in the previous one year (Sandfort, 1998).e)        In the Netherlands , 13.4% of men and 4.7% of women aged 18 to 49 years in 1989 had had same-sex sexual partners on at least one occasion throughout their entire lives (Sandfort, 1998).f)         In the Netherlands , 6.3% of men and 0.6% of women aged 18 to 49 years in 1989 had had same-sex sexual partners in the previous year.

 Smith claims that the Netherlands figures were much higher because the Dutch survey asked the supposedly broader question: “Have you ever had sexual contact with a boy or man? By sexual contact we mean at least masturbation…? [100]

 

Research from Norway  

            In Norway in 1987, a nation-wide random mail sample of 6,155 adults aged 18 to 60 years found that only 0.9% of males and 0.9% of females had one or more homosexual experiences in the 3 years prior to the survey. The survey also found that only 3.5% of males and 3% of females had ever during their entire lives had one or more homosexual experiences.[101]             Discussion

Once again, another survey shows that most males and females who experimented once or more with some type of mild or full genital homosexual experience later abandoned these practices and lived as exclusive heterosexuals.

 TheTraeen, Stigum and Sorenson study of Oslo, Norway             In their study "Sexual diversity in urban Norwegians", Bente Traeen, Hein Stigum and Dagfinn Sorenson recorded the results of their random sample survey of 5000 persons aged 18-49 years from the city of Oslo in Norway in 1997.[102]  These are the results of this survey:

a)      There was a 45% response rate.b)      2.8% of males had had sex with other males throughout their lives and 7.9% of males had had sex with both males and females throughout the lives.c)      0.7% of females had ever had sex with other females and 7.1% of females had had sex with both females and males throughout their lives.d)      3.3% of males had had sexual fantasies exclusively about other males and 12.4% had experienced sexual fantasies about both males and females.e)      0.4% of females had experienced sexual fantasies exclusively about other females and 30.6% of females had experienced sexual fantasies about both males and females.f)        For the males and females who had sex exclusively with persons of the opposite sex, the number of sex partners throughout their lives averaged 15.6.g)      For males and females who had sex with both other males and females, the number of sex partners throughout their lives averaged 37 8.h)      For males and females who had sex exclusively with members of their same sex, the number of sex partners throughout their lives averaged 54.1.Note this survey in 1997 did not measure the percentages of males and

females in Oslo involved in current homosexual, lesbian or bisexual behaviour.Also Traeen, Stigum and Sorenson did a comparison of three surveys of 18 to

49-year-olds from Oslo in Norway in 1987, 1992 and 1997.  Here are some of their observations:

a)      In 1987, 7.5% of men and 6.6% of women reported homosexual experience.b)      In 1992, 15.1% of men and 9.3% of women reported homosexual experience.c)      In 1997, 8.1% of men and 11.6% of women reported homosexual experience.The above figures were obtained through representative samples of 10,000

Norwegians each with response rates of 63% in 1987, 48% in 1992 and 38% in 1997.  In the 1992 study, a sub sample survey was done to check on the reasons why people did not respond to the survey.  The majority of subjects in the sub-sample survey who stated that they did not respond to the sexual survey, said they did this for reasons unrelated to differences in sexual behaviour.

 

The nationwide Danish survey in 1989             In 1989, a nationwide survey involving a random sample of males and females aged 18 to 59 years was conducted in Denmark .[103] There were 3,178 respondents to the survey, including 1,466 men and 1,705 women.[104] Her are the results of the survey:[105]            a) Only 2.7% of men reported having one or more experiences of homosexual sexual intercourse throughout their entire lives.            b) Homosexual and bisexual men had a higher rate of having multiple sex partners than did heterosexual men. Note 33.3% of homosexual and bisexual men had more than one sexual partner in the previous year while only 20.5% of heterosexual men did the same.[106] Also, 8.3% of homosexual and bisexual men had five or more sex partners while only 2.95% of heterosexual men did the same in the previous year.[107] 

The earliest studies of homosexual and bisexual percentages 

The first statistical studies of the percentages of homosexuals and bisexuals in a society occurred in Germany in the early 1900’s. Here is a summary of these studies[108]:

 (a)    Around the end of the 1800’s, Van Romer sent 595 male university students a letter asking about their preferred sex partners. There were 308 students who replied. Of these:

(i)      1.9% said they were sexually attracted to males.(ii)    3.9% stated they were sexually attracted to both males and females.

(b)    In 1904, M. Hirschfeld questioned some homosexual males about the numbers of homosexuals and heterosexuals they knew of in their own occupational groups. These men reported that out of 6,611 men, 1.99% or 132 (including the reporters) were homosexuals.(c)    In 1912, Hirschfeld investigated 17,160 male subjects from 35 different occupational groups. This time he used heterosexual helpers to determine that 2.29% of the 17,160 males were homosexuals.

Hirschfeld deliberately left out actors, dancers and members of other occupations which were well-known in Germany at the time as having abnormal concentrations of homosexuals in them.(d)    In 1903, Hirschfeld sent a circular letter or postcard to 3,000 university students. Of the 1,696 students providing a valid answer to his postcard;

(i)   1.5% said they were homosexuals(ii) 4.5% revealed they were bisexuals.

(e)    In 1904, Hirschfeld sent a similar circular letter to 4,584 members of a metal workers’ union. He had a 41% response rate. Of those responding:

(i)      1.15% stated they were homosexuals(ii)     2.46% said they were bisexuals, with either a primary interest in males or a primary interest in females.(iii)    2.14% stated they were bisexuals without any preference for either sex or they gave an unclear answer.

 

The French National Survey of sexual behaviour in 1991-1992              Between September 1991 and February 1992, the French National Survey on Sexual Behaviour occurred. Below are the details and results of this survey:[109]            a) A random sample of 20,055 subjects was used to draw a sub-sample of 4820 individuals – 2642 men and 2178 women who were interviewed in detail between September 1991 and February 1992 about their sexual activities.             b) The questions about ‘sexual encounter’ did not define this phrase. Therefore the responses may include some sexual experiences which did not include vaginal or anal intercourse.

            c) 4.1% of the 2547 males who provided information about their sexual activities stated they had had one or more male partners for sexual encounters during their whole lifetime.             d) During the previous year, only 0.4% of the 2547 males had male sex partners and only 0.7% had had both male and female sex partners. This meant that during the previous year, only 1.1% of males had engaged in homosexual or bisexual sex practices.             e) In Table 1 “Number of Sexual Partners of Bisexual Men in Comparison with Homosexual Men, Heterosexual Men with Multiple Partners (> over the Past Year) and All Heterosexual Men”, we see homosexual men had the highest mean score for having new sex partners:                         Homosexual men – 3.3                        Bisexual men – 1.2                        All Heterosexual men – 0.3             This means that homosexual men had a mean score for changing their sex partners which was 11 times greater than heterosexual men.             f) In Table 2 “Comparisons Between Bisexual Men and Homosexual and Heterosexual Men with Multiple Partners; by Socio-demographic Characteristics…”, we find that homosexual men had the highest percentages of education in terms of graduating from high school and had equal percentages with bisexuals in obtaining upper-middle class jobs:

   Homosexual men % Bisexual men % Multi-partnered

heterosexual men %Education (high school graduate)

68 

53 41

Having an upper-middle class job

35 35 19

             This means that French homosexuals and bisexual males were obtaining jobs which involved more power, authority and influence at a much higher rate than heterosexual males. This is assuming the multi-partner heterosexual figure is reflective of the heterosexual male figure which included those with one or more sexual partners.             Spira, Bajos, Beltzer, Bozon et al. who were the original researchers for the “The French National Survey on Sexual Behaviour” of 20,555 people aged 18-69 years in 1991-1992 record that:[110]

a)      in the previous year, only 0.3% of women in France had experienced lesbian sexual encounters. b)      only 0.4% of French women surveyed had had a lesbian sexual encounter in the 5 years before the survey.c)      2.6% of women had had one or more homosexual experiences during their lifetimes.d)      in the last 5 years only 1.4% of men in France had engaged in homosexual encounters. e)      82% of men and 72% of women who had experienced homosexual encounters at least once, also had heterosexual sexual encounters.f)       the rates of homosexual encounters were 4.7 times greater in Paris than in rural areas of France . 

                        In his article “Homosexuals and the 10% Fallacy” in the Wall Street Journal dated March 31, 1993 (New York, N.Y., Eastern edition), medical researcher Dr. J. Gordon Muir also provided details of the figures for lesbians from “The French National Survey on Sexual Behaviour” in 1991-1992. Dr Muir recorded that only 0.6% of women were exclusively practicing lesbians all their lives.  

Discussion Once again, we see that most French males and females who experimented once or

more with some type of homosexual experience – from the least sexual to the full genital contact – then rejected homosexuality, lesbianism or bisexuality and lived as exclusive heterosexuals.
