Arrow hear me out

Like I said before, I only stated my opinion on the matter. When people say that there are reports saying that it is actually 3 to 4 percent, then that is no longer an opinion. It will be hard to truly test homosexuality, because most people would not admit to it. I have a friend whose father was married for 20 years with two kids but finally got a divorce because he was gay. If you asked him (on the phone or through a survey) if he was gay while he was married, he would of said no even though he knew he was living a lie. And this is not a rare event, because most of the gay people that he was friends with were also married and living a lie. I just hope that you would never say "there aren't any gay people in my chapter" in front of your brothers or sisters, because the person that you say that to might be someone that is secretly dealing with that issue. It would not help the person to come out if that is stated. It might push them deeper in the closet.

Also it isn't cool to do some massive search to see if everything on that site is accurate. So what if you don't know anybody by that name in a particular chapter. Maybe the person graduated a long time ago or maybe the person is no longer in the organization because people treated them badly when they found out they were gay. It doesn't matter. Do you all think that this website is going to give your organization a bad name because someone listed a name on there as an out gay person? Don't worry! Most people that see that list are gay themselves.
Also I think that it is good that they listed their name on this site. It is a way to declare to the world that they aren't ashamed. No matter what people might say to them or do, they aren't making any apologies for how God made them.
