These goons (or the spineless enablers who don't care what happens to us as long as they get ours) like to call us a "wedge issue" or a "very small percentage&quot and throw around numbers like "1%" or "3%". What they fail to get is we're not something that can easier be verified by birth records. There isn't something on our ID or birth certificate that just comes out and screams LGBTQ. Or, in other words: They're just basing their minute percentages upon the number of people who have come out, or been outed. There are a lot more in the closet than they think, and obviously, the number is far higher than what they think.

Eventually, some of them are going to come roaring out of the closet - feeling they need to push back, feeling there is nothing to lose by coming out, or just being tired of hiding. A lot of people will be surprised when that "1 or 2%" gets left in the dust and it winds up closer to 10%.
