# #    A new natonal study on male sexual behavior, the most thorough
# #    examination of American men's sexual practices published since
# #    the Kinsey report more than four decades ago,
# 
# Right off the bat this information is flawed.  "Most throrough"?  I'm
# sorry, but Masters & Johnson put out a report within the past few
# years.  The Kinsey Institute has been quite active since it was
# founded oh-so-many years ago.  They, too, recently put out a new
# report on sexuality.

I was quoting a news story.  I have no idea why they claim this was
the most "through examination."

# #    shows about 2
# #    percent of the men surveyed had engaged in homosexual sex and
# #    1 percent considered themselves exclusively homosexual.
# 
# I hate to be picky, but let's do the math.  If we take the cities of
# New York City and Los Angeles alone, we can find approximately 3.5
# million gay people...making about 1.75 million gay men.

WHAT?  Even in San Francisco, the Dept. of Public Health estimates
that only 11% of the male population is gay.  What you are claiming
is that of the 16 million people in the NYC and LA areas, that more
than 10% are gay.  What is the source of your numbers?  Keep in
mind that attempts by CDC to determine homosexual percentage in
American cities have given numbers <3%.

# 1% of the American male population is about 1.25 million.
# 
# So what this study says is that all gay males live in New York City or
# Los Angeles, and about half-a-million people are lying about being gay.
# 
# Something smells funny....

Yes, your 1.75 million number smells funny.
