One of the things that really, really grinds on me is the fact that those who identify as LGBT are a tiny proportion of the population, and yet in today’s climate there are few demographics that command so much political limelight. Most estimates put gay, lesbian, and bisexual numbers at less than 2%. A 2010 UK national survey puts this at 1.5%. The angle that gender theory advocates like to use when the figure comes in so low is that lack of social tolerance means less people come forward as gay, lesbian or bisexual.





It’s important to note that 3% of those asked in the survey stated that they “did not know their sexual orientation”. In a culture that parrots how gender is a ‘social construct’, such an erroneous cultural meme must be factored into the equation. How many have been influenced by pseudoscientific gender theory into believing that they have no sexual orientation, or that such a question is irrelevant, is anyone’s guess. I bet the place to start collecting evidence is feminist and LGBT academic circles.





When it comes to research defending LGBT social change by far the biggest problem is poor sampling. This is typically suspicious behaviour that points towards confirmation bias. Even the Wikipedia page for LGBT parenting can’t bypass the fact that research into this area suffers from a lack of random sampling. A common problem is sampling drawn primarily from well-educated white women. Researchers even go as far as using samples entirely from lesbian bookstores . Ironically it’s the fact that so few people are actually LGBT in the first place that makes it so hard to create solid research that relies on random sampling.





Sincerely I don’t care if people identify as LGBT. If two people of the same sex want to live together or have sex then they can go for broke as far as I’m concerned. But that’s not an unconditional position. I have a big issue with the fact that flawed LGBT research is being used to push a subjective definition of parenting into the forefront of society. Take France, where an attempt to abolish the words mother and father from all official documents is being taken seriously, replacing them with ‘parent’. All this so that less than 2% of the population, that can’t conceive as a couple, can feel accommodated.





Does anyone really believe equality is the reason people would go out of their way to abolish the biological distinctions of mother and father? Gender theorists have been advocating this for decades, and they show no signs of ending in the present hysteria. Alas, in the world of the androgynous radical there is no distinction between a man and a woman.





I especially have an issue with the fact that all this is being done on the back of such a small LGBT demographic alongside population. LGBTs have a tiny social impact when ideology is not harnessed to incite agitation. A parent is not a label that can be passed around like candy, and I am not in support of people shunning their responsibilities as parents by donating gametes or acting as surrogates. This culturally weakens the biological importance of parental bonding, making people believe that the role can be redefined on demand.





Furthermore it’s foolish to ignore the powerful bond between biological parent and child. Failure to bond is repeatedly the main breakdown when it comes to adoption . It’s also foolish to ignore the fact that homes where both biological parents are present are overwhelmingly more stable . Conversely gay people are not as fussed on marriage and civil unions as many would have us believe. The desire among gay people to get married is low. This pattern is consistent in places like the Netherlands and the US, and even in Scandinavian countries, where gay marriage has been around for a long time.





Research shows that even even divorce is significantly higher among gay and lesbian couples, especially among the latter. As if that’s not enough research conducted at UK gay pride events in 2003, based on 1911 women and 1391 men , shows that domestic violence in LGBT circles can be as high as 22% for women and 29% for men. Yet left-wing publications like the Huffington Post continue to spread misinformation regarding the positives of gay parenting, when in truth the research to support this is inadequate. Combine this with the evidence to show that gay relationships are not as stable when we examine more accurate and informative data, and you have a false impression that can only truly be described as propaganda.





It always intrigues me how many of those waking up to the pedalling of lies in feminist circles are not so critical of LGBT advocacy. The truth is that LGBT advocates and feminists are cut from the same cloth in many ways, and are just as guilty of confirmation bias as one another. But feminism has been around a lot longer, so the equality angle has had more time to fade due to decades of cultural injustice directed at men. Meanwhile LGBT advocates are currently riding a wave of tolerance and suppression of critical analysis via those believing they are only trying to spread ‘equality’. Now where have I heard that one before?

Of late I’ve had to do a lot of soul-searching in relation to my views about LGBT rights. The first reason for this is due to LGBT ‘gender theory’. This is the little sister of feminist theory, and suffers with the same animosity towards normative behaviour - heterosexuality and sex related traits in particular. The other reason is the sheer level of selective reasoning required to defend gender and feminist theory alongside historical evidence. This leads to confirmation bias, and boy do gender and feminist theorists suffer from this in droves.
