themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual, or 4.3 total million Americans. These
numbers are based on figures provided by a broad-based coalition of gay rights
organizations and homosexual advocacy groups. The primary source cited was the
The National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS), published in the book The
Social Organization of Sex: Sexual Practices in the United States (1994), by
Laumann, Gagnon, Michael and Michaels. "</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Referring to the Laumann study, the gay rights
coalition stated that in the United States 2.8% of males age 18 or older, and
1.4% of females age 18 or older are homosexual, gay, lesbian or bisexual. We
have applied their figures to the 2003 U.S. population (284,800,000 total
population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau). 0.9% of women identify
themselves as lesbians (excluding bisexuals), which equates to 0.32% of total
U.S. population being lesbians. 2 percent of men identify themselves as gay
(excluding bisexuals), which equates to 0.7% of total U.S. population being gay
men. Source: National study published in Laumann, et al., The Social

on it is based on the fact<BR>> that a nations military forces reflects the
statistics of that nation. It<BR>> is estimated that about 10% of the US
population is gay, therefore, it<BR>> safe to make the assumption that
some where around 6,000 of those on the<BR>> Wall were gay (5, 819.5 for
those of you out there doing the math).<BR>> <BR>> Even more interesting
when you look at those numbers based on WW2 troop<BR>> numbers, and really
more revealing when you consider that there have been<BR>> 3,465 Medal of
Honor winners, resulting in 346 gay Medal of Honor winners.<BR>> <BR>> I
had an old First Sergeant that used to tell our troops, that one in<BR>>
three people in America has some sort of psychological problem. So in
this<BR>> formation, look to your left, and look to your right, and if those
two<BR>> guys look OK, it's YOU!<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>>

it bears repeating again coupled<BR>>> with serious
concern.<BR>>><BR>>> There are 58,195 names on the Vietnam Memorial
