Okay then you would have no problem going through with this experiment then: it could only prove you right.

Not the twat you're arguing with, but if you read your own (wiki) source, it says that this % is the number of adults who IDENTIFY as gay. The percentage of adults who engage in homosex is far greater than the number of those who identify as gay.
