Suse,
Yes, all of the figures I cite are credible, though in a 2014 survey of 20,000 people aged 16-69 the number of homosexuals in the Australian population was estimated at 1.8% for men and 1.2% for women, I was using the 2003 figures.My estimate of 80% of younger people so attracted growing out of their homosexual attraction is also wrong, it's more like 95%, I know you don't like reading research papers so here's a Wikipedia page that explains it in terms a ten year old could understand.

You're not going to bother reading any of the articles I link regarding the other matters and I have to go to work soon so I won't trouble myself posting them but if Gerald Ridsdale's testimony to the Royal Commission is available online you should watch that, it's very revealing.

JoM,

"The "children" on Nauru are almost all young men in their late teens and since in most third world societies the age of manhood is about 13 they're actually men,vagabonds, thieves and street urchins, for more information see the movie "Alladdin"."

Absolute BS if I may say so : )

Plenty of images of "young" kiddies in those articles - here are more images...from "Nauru".

Here's the latest vagabond and street urchin to be flown to Nauru:

Five month old bubba deported from Australia to Nauru recently ".... deported to Nauru to flies no water no aircon in hot vinyl tent..." - oh and through the stress of it all, her mum's ability to breast feed her was lost - happy days in a hot tent with the risk of dehydration while you're getting used to being bottle fed.

Jay of Melbourne,

Where are you getting this 95% figure from? I’ve utilised my own link above and Griffith university’s online library to find data suggesting that 95% of youth grow out of their homosexuality, but I can’t find anything.

The reason I ask is because suseonline asked where all the concern for gay youth with bigoted heterosexual parents was, and your response to this appears to have been to minimise the need for such concerns because, allegedly, 95% of homosexual youth grow out of it anyway.

So even if we take the conservative figure of 1.5% of the population being homosexual, that would mean that 28.5% of youth, at any one time, think they’re homosexual; 28.5% of youth out there are apparently worrying about how they’ll tell their parents that they gay, when in fact 95% of them will completely change and grow out of it. That doesn’t seem right to me.

Further to the above, 4.7% of the subjects of the survey you cited refused to answer, and I don’t see why too many heterosexuals would be anxious about revealing the fact that they’re straight. This could mean that as much as, say, 5% of the population are actually gay. So if this figure is more accurate (and I suspect that it is) that would mean that 100% of youth (or close to it) currently think they’re homosexual, going by the 95% figure you’ve provided.

So what’s with all the boy-girl relationships going on school? Has society just brainwashed them into thinking they’re all straight now?

With people like you AJ you would be telling the teenagers, try sex with both girls and boys and decide which one you prefer to see if you are homosexual. So it all depends on the experience they have and not their physical reality.

JoM, you surely can't be serious?
All these youth with homosexual yearnings that 'grow out of it' must be very careful at hiding their feelings, because there are NO stats proving your mad theory.
I haven't read about a more homophobic person than you before, but your ascertains are plain crazy!

Susie as usual only interested in her dogma (very perverted). No doubt unlike the doctor recently sacked for speaking the truth and medical facts about sodomy, her career will be safe as long as she holds to the perverted dogmas. The bigots seem to be winning at the expense of the kids and others.
