Holy shit that last poll is damn close. 37% think environment makes you gay, 36% think you're born with gayness.

I'm with the people who said environment.


The rest of the polls are interesting too.

I love your new avatar Chairman Mao, and funnily enough I met the man who voiced Johnny Bravo last month, he did a public lecture at my university.

Pretty amazing figures

I imagine UK is like 75/25 or higher.

You'd be surprised...

 

It is up.  However 36% of Britions think Homosexuality is mostly or always wrong.

Additionally another 10% say rarely wrong.

39% said never wrong.

So it's more 39%/36%.

Interesting, I thought we'd come further than that! I rarely see intolerance towards homosexuality, I guess I'm just fortunate.

Well the "advantage" homosexual people have is... unless they are with their significant others or at a gay club... it's hard to pick out a gay person to be mean too.  Well unless that person knows you, but blind hate towards a group is ineffective once you actually get to know people from that group.

There is a lot more to go on all the Civil Rights fronts... which is always the danger of such things... usually people get over a big obstacle and then just delare it done.

Yeah, he had everyone in hysterics, he's a genuinely funny guy. The guy I sit next to in the office set up his laptop for the lecture, and he came back to the office in fits of laughter. I caught him in the canteen just before he started, but only spoke to him for a minute. Genuinely funny guy.
