Well more than half of the population is female so that logic falls flat.

Women can be homosexual too you know :/

The "10% rule" isnt something I made up. Just chek Wikipeida or something.

The Black Fist 01-06-2007 12:32 PM

Is that statistic really that low

I thought it was more than that

edit; oic

voodooramen 01-06-2007 12:33 PM

Theres so many reports of different percentages it's ridiculous.

Bajs 01-06-2007 12:35 PM

I wonder what this 10% means thoug, is it Love or sex?

I know there are straight (?) guys who have sex with other guys, they can only love women, but they dont get turned on by them.

i saw this on Operah last year.....

voodooramen 01-06-2007 12:39 PM

I am pretty sure at the point where you have sex with another male you arent necessarily straight anymore lmao

oh and love=/=sex

you can love someone without wanting sex, and you can have sex with someone without loving them. either way, it would be gay to romantically love another man or have sex.

Nicely phrased.

unplugged89 01-06-2007 12:49 PM

That guy from the sciccors sisters, freddie mercury...


so there are statistically only 20 guitarists in the entire world.

tonalfusion 01-06-2007 12:49 PM

I'm pretty sure the guitarist from AFI is gay.... he isnt extremely famous, but decently known..... and there are probobly many more, but to be gay is one thing, but openly is different, it certainly could hurt sales

unplugged89 01-06-2007 12:50 PM

ok, 30

not unless everyone in the world plays guitar.

as a guess i'll say 25% of the people on earth play guitar/bass. which means only 10% of those 25%. which leaves only a small 2.5% of not-straight guitar players in the whole world.

and even that statistic could be greater or less due to cultural reasons.

Oh god please don't turn this into a "oh yeah I hear x guitarist from sh[size=2]it[/size]ty band y is gay" thread

In what way? Your sexual orientation doesn't affect how you play guitar...

It would still imply 10% of all guitarists are gay

and it's not like there's some rule that says that the apparently random 10% of gay people are evenly dispersed between all other walks of life- What if, coincidentally, not a single gay person plays guitar?

Peterwgw 01-06-2007 12:56 PM

lol. sorry, my bad. i lost myself in my numbers.

2.5% would be the percent of gay people who play guitar in the world.

it would still be 10% of all guitarists though, as you stated.

I disagree. Unless you are a close-minded S.O.B who doesn't like their methul all gayed up, then it makes little to no difference. I know i wouldn't stop buying someones music just because they were gay...would it stop you?
