LIFE ITS OWNSELF: THE TAIL IS WAGGING THE
DOG...AGAIN!!!
According to the William's
Institute review conducted in April 2011, approximately 3.80% of American adults
identify themselves as being in the LGBT community...wherein ( 1.7o% ) identify
as lesbian or gay; ( 1.80% ) as bisexual; and ( 0.30% ) as transgender, which
corresponds to approximately nine Million adult Americans. Due to the vagaries
of self determination, it is difficult to accurately record the demographics of
the LGBT community in the U.S. but studies have produced a consistent
statistical range of 1.20% to 5.6% of the adult population. The latest
information was published on Tuesday (7/15/2014). The Centers for
Disease Control issued its annual National Health Interview Survey which
included the first large-scale study of Americans' sexual
orientation,making headline news like this in
theWaPo. It's
entitledSexual Orientation Among US
Adults. Looking atTable 1 on page
7...
- It reveals that 1.8%
of men and 1.5% of women are homosexual, while less than half of one percent
(0.4%) of men and less than one percent (0.9%) of women are bisexual. The overall results are 2.3% of Americans are
homosexual ("gay or lesbian") or bisexual, while 97.7% are fully heterosexual or
"straight" ("not gay, lesbian, or bisexual").
97.7% qualifies as being
"normal," or there is no meaning to the term. Nonetheless, 98% of people cannot outlaw the
other 2%. Freedom is the right to be peacefully different. The obverse, of course, is that the 2% cannot
demand that 98% must obey the 2%'s orders - like forcing Christian bakers to
make homosexual wedding cakes, or the 98% trash their most important
institutions, marriage and the military.
So how in the world
do almost 98% of Americans allow themselves to be tyrannized by little more than
2%? ‘Tis a puzzle. And it won't cease being one until a
substantial fraction of the 98% refuses to be tyrannized any longer.
So...why have Obama and his minions
made such a strident--even passionate--noise for such a small percentage of the
population? Were the LGBTs here when the United States were discovered(?) and
settled? Did Tom Jefferson, John and Quincy Adams, Ben Franklin and the
others see fit to make allowances for folks whose sexual preferences differed
from the view of the church and single them out? Could they have omitted a few
words in our founding documents to assuage the feelings and propensities of
groups...other than citizens? Did the Declaration originally read "we hold these
truths to be self evident that all men, including LGBTs, are created equal..."?
Did it contain stipulations that gender redesignation would necessarily be
inclusive or exclusive for those settlers whose sexual tendencies were a bit
different? If that were the case, couldn't John Smith's relationship with
Pocahontas have been...maybe...a relationship with "Skipping Bear"? If you're
thinking, "Yo, Jim! That's impossible because the folks back then knew that the
principles upon which our nation was founded were Biblical?", you're wondering
about the tail wagging the dog yourself.So...once again...why are Obama and
his acolytes so interested in such a small percentage of the overall population?
What is it in their backgrounds that make them try to beat 98% of the population
to death with the other 2%? Whenever I think about this, my mind conjures up an
image of Barbara and Nancy swapping spit. Sometimes it's Harry and Chuck
strolling around the Reflection Pool...hand in hand. Could all this drivel be a
component of democracy or could it be a component of lunacy?Let us never
forget that our Constitution was written not to empower democracy, but to
secure liberty for the masses. 98% of the "masses" are heterosexual.
We may not agree with the other 2% but, as long as we don't have to make choices
based upon that miniscule percentage's sexual preferences or allow our children
and grandchildren to be taught that homosexuality is cool, we don't have to
emulate the Arabic countries and require that homosexual people be put to
death.L.G.B.T. would
better stand for "Let's Get Beyond This".
