I agree but the thing here is it’s not advertising a product it’s just advertising a minority way of life that is mostly shunned , Coca Cola tried this theme but you don’t see this well put together advert that mimics a previous advert much anymore. https://youtu.be/xAY1_AwL7Js
And in Budapest a billboard advertisement in this vein caused the government to call for people to boycott Coca Cola altogether.

I suppose for Coca Cola any publicity is good publicity . https://youtu.be/NmMcyUBinIk
I don’t agree with promoting same sex marriage, homosexuality or religion to children I think these subjects are very dangerous to developing young minds.

You're excluding Bisexuals and 'other', add them in and it's 3.4%. 1.4m over 16's plus another 1.6m 'Don't Know'.

Only 93.7% now identify as being heterosexual or straight.

I'll wager there's an unaccounted-for missing percentage. I.e. the discreet closet-types, who falsely stated 'straight' when in fact they were not.

Don’t forget to include those LGBTQ and all the other letters that go after it you might be able to squeeze a few more percent ha ha , I think the exact same types that will try to manipulate the figures and/or make statements like this are the types you are mentioning. I think anyone that is not gay and has little interest in the subject will accept the facts and figures as a well known minority generally not accepted by most of the general public. How many straight MEN will say “ I am not homophobic some of my best friends are gay “.

Seeing as roving-eye started it, i.e. this thread, and it's doubtless generating the expected high volume of views (and posts - reaching 100 in four festive days), then closing it would seem to be deemed counter-productive. It's a popular thread!

Don’t stop the thread now it looks to me that on this page alone there’s 2 that have given themselves away and one that is panicking.
One that has falsely stated he was straight and one that’s still in the closet like more people than go to church and another one that wants the thread stopped in case the closet door opens and he falls out ha ha .

As you've been 'called out' as a repressed gay man then I suppose you were bound to call out others for being repressed gay men. You didn't appear to have a 'hissy fit' for having been called out and it will be interesting to see if any of the called-out others have a hissy fit in reaction.

Simple layman’s armchair psychology dictates those like you that say people who have a distaste for homosexuality must be homosexuals themselves …but this is a defence of a closet homosexual, to accuse those who find distaste, it’s simple misdirection akin to a double bluff.
Listen it’s ok to come out we are a very understanding crowd on here and won’t ( or can’t ) think of you any less than we already do.
