even if 10% was the correct figure your statement '1 in 10 people are gay, so for every 100 people on blonde, ten of them are gay' is a shockingly bad use of statistics
using the same logic
50% of people are women so for every 100 people on blonde 50 are women
10% of people play poker so for every 100 people on blonde 10 play poker
30% of people don't use the internet so for every 100 people on blonde 30 don't use the internet
Don't think that's really true. Obviously the examples you give it would be incorrect to say this. But why would a person's sexuality affect someone being a member of blonde? |

The statistic doesn't matter - I was merely suggesting that a not insignificant number of blonde members are gay. I'm sure they appreciate the homophobia.

I did always wonder this but always refrained from asking because of the inevitable immature 'naming your mates' response, but are there any openly gay male poker players? I can think of some lesbian ones but dont know any gay men who play poker.
There is an openly gay man representing the forum in the LPC tonight. |

Probably a lot more than you think ... however I dont think this forum is the place to start speculating and naming names ... (Apart from Flushy obv.) |

He's not an openly gay poker player, but I know of one that has recently made his choice and is a regular poster on forum |

I've been following this thread and haven't read any posts which I consider homophobic. |

why would a person's gender? it shouldn't but it does. the poker world like it or not is very heavily weighted to male heterosexuals among the large number of people I know who play poker there's only 1 that I can think of at the moment who is openly gay as compared to quite a lot that I know outside of the game |

I've been following this thread and haven't read any posts which I consider homophobic. +1 No one has said anything remotely against people being gay in the first place. Some have said they don't believe it should be seen in public. |

I've been following this thread and haven't read any posts which I consider homophobic. Must just be me reading between the lines. I also thought I saw people saying they'd sign a petition to ban gay couples kissing in public (as it was restricted to gay couples and not all couples, I'd suggest that would be discriminatory against gay people, no?). |
