Topic: Why are people in some countries so much more likely to be gay?

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #14,555

For instance, the UK.

Any theories?

Oh, my apologies. You could have been more clear, though.

Typically, they are more likely to be open about it as they live in a country which isn't infested by bible-fucking, mentally deranged fucktards. Oh, and moar freedums.

There's lots of other countries that have more gays than the UK according to that.

So why didn't you single out one of the countries with more gays? They're more relevant to the point you're making.

We're talking about numbers here. THanks.

But you're missing the point as to why the numbers are higher in some countries and why they are lower in others.

I'm sorry? I'm asking why there are more gay people, not about 'rights' or what have you. Gay rights don't make people gay. Gay isn't a choice.

No, but how gays are treated in a country obviously has an effect on how people are likely to answer a survey. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_desirability_bias

But the more gay rights a country gives to gays the more of them will feel comfortable coming out. It directly affects the numbers they get in these surveys.

Do you feel people are more likely to come out if they live in a free country where nothing will happen to them, or if they will face the death penalty for announcing their sexual preferences?

The country's attitude to gays will determine how comfortable a person is with their sexuality.

Well, I'm assuming. But you could go to the citations and read them to see.

It's because straight men from these cultures had a nasty habit of beating and raping their wives under historical patriarchy, so women preferred to marry gay dudes. Consequently, the propagation of gay genes was enhanced in such cultures. It's also why gays are so much smarter than straights, because in such an environment, these women were the smart ones.

I guess it's just because they all like dicks.

Everyone likes dicks, but not everyone likes dudes. This is the mystery of modern society.

I guess it's because they like dudes, too.
