No. You're not. You are coming off elitist and unintelligible. I'm not the brightest bulb on the shelf but I'm no slouch. Still, I have to read your posts 2-3 times before I get them. Can't you dumb it down just a bit? The tiniest bit?
Whoa. Now I've seen it all. Calling someone elitist and unintelligble because you can't or won't see his point shows us much more about you and how you think, than most of the arguments you've put forward in this thread.

Namo, where did you get your 2-5 percent statistic?

The numbers are hard to get at, but here's an article that looks at comparisons between the 1990 and 2000 census and focuses on New York and then broadens it out to the rest of the country, including rural areas.
"For the United States as a whole the numbers were 2.6 percent for men and 1.1 percent for women." Counting Gay New York
Namo, that article actually disputes the census findings. Single LGBT people were not acurately recorded.

What are these "days gone by" of which you speak? I see nothing wrong with public discussions of religion, sex, any topic really. I'm glad the days have gone by, and I'm sure that almost every minority member in this country would agree.
Yes DG, stop being so damned intelligent. It's a real strain for some to try to make an argument when you throw around big words and speak eloquently. You elitist pig.
Now, if Sean Hayes is gay and does not wish to discuss that publicly, it certainly doesn't make him dispicable. That is a wrod that can be used to describe many public figures for many reasons, but it completely inappropraite in this case.
Carry on with your argument, my ride is here and I am off to the theater. I just wanted to throw in my two cents.
Harvey Fierstein has this to say about the contemptable Mr. Hayes (though he didn't refer to him by name, it was clear who he was speaking about): “This year there was a cover of Vanity Fair magazine about the new television season and how gay it was. And the cover was like ten people in gay shows and there’s only one gay person on the cover. Well, one openly gay person. You know, there’s that other one who, if you say he’s gay, he’ll sue you. I would like to drown him with the kittens. He is exactly the reason why we’re still fighting for our rights, because he is advertising daily that there’s something wrong with being gay.”
