Is Hollywood shoving the gay lifestyle down our throats? Ask a Question

Yes! And it's amazing that with less than 2% of the USA being homosexual or lesbian. 4% is vegetarian. Would all the laws in the USA change for vegetarians? I don't think so.

The real question is why?

The real question is who cares, I mean it is not like the intellect is real, more like an Image.:)))

Did you know that only 68% of ask500 voters declared themselves heterosexual? You can see the poll on my questions list . That makes 32% who are homosexual, bisexual, or still not sure.

My bad - correction, 73% hereto, 27% not.

I'm not speaking of a small sampling on a 'beta website' with only 100 responding. Come on---get real about what you are talking about. I'm speaking of U.S. census data, analyzing over 280 million people. You don't have 100 people vs 280 million confused do you?

Closer to 300 million, actually. Several metropolitian areas report numbers closer to 12-15%. I think 25% is an overestimate but there's no way 2% is right. I'd put it closer to 10. That's realistic.

I mean, in all seriousness, if you were marketing a product to a predominantly gay target demographic, you would find a way for that number to be higher.

I thought you might find the results of my poll interesting. Of course I wasn't suggesting it was representative of anything other than what it is.

And that's why it will be cool when there is 500/plus people taking a pool. This(ask500people) is a very powerful research potential tool/when it meets that criterion.

says u.

As a marketing professional---you have to live with reality. Because sooner or later the truth will help you or kill you...

First a belated report on Presidential exit poll results the Times had previously "buried," showing only 3% M and 2% F homosexuals: "In fact, one survey analyzing the President vote found that 3 percent of men and 2% of women said they were gay, lesbian, or bisexual."

b. The Times also quoted a marketer to the homosexual community: "Sean Strub, who runs a marketing firm in Manhattan that keeps mailing lists of homosexuals for sale to advertisers and politicians, estimated the size of the country’s gay population at 2.5 percent to 3.5 percent."

would u choose a death-style?

humans being - just like u

I agree!

This is an unfairly constructed question. Along the lines of "Do you still beat your wife?"

Keep it in the family,Huh!

Enough with the ad hominem, dude, k?

I believe they do....

Love your choice of words! Shoving gays down my throat. ROFL

Yes.

Hollywood is a insult for every gay I would say. (I'm not gay!)

Your secret is safe.

Shoving it down your throats? I don't think so ...

Also I think your numbers are skewed if you think that Homosexuality is less than 2%! Last time I heard its closer to 25% of all people. Most people are just too afraid to admit to these feelings due to being ostracized by society!

When I checked specific research---I was surprised at the number. But I did not invent it---I'm just reporting it.

Don't like the themes in a TV show or movie? Then don't watch it! It's a free market economy! (btw, there are tons of movies and books about royalty, yet less than .1% of the population is royal.)

wWhat is a gay lifestyle anyway. My gay friends have the same lifestyle as anyone else, except for their choice in night clubs.

Exactly! I've never understood what people are so afraid of.

Have you ever heard of AIDS! You should get out more....

ever heard of the breeder stats?

Did You know there are over 25,000,000 people that have perished because of AIDS--are you aware a lot of it is because of the homosexual life(death)style?

That is a dangerous piece of information....think about it....really

i think people die because of a virus, not a lifestyle.

One of my aquaintaincews is a leading research scientist--did some of his graduate work at Stanford--he states the majority cause is 1. Gay sex (men to men) and 2. IV drug use.

There seems to be some significant choices that effect AIDS spread...

If you want to think it caused from some

accident' or something ---I guess that's up to you.

But there are specific causes.

They're not shoving it down our throats, no. Hollywood does tend to "flood" a topic or genre when it takes notice of it, however. Just look at the high number of fantasy/sci-fi/supernatural shows currently available. Once Hollywood takes notice there is a heavy emphasis for a while, then it moves on to another area.
