In his Sun column Warren Kinsella claims that up to 15% of the population is homosexual. Kathy Shaidle critiques the column. She does a great job explaining why Kinsella is wrong, but we should understand where Kinsella is coming from. It is possible, I suppose, that Warren Kinsella’s Toronto is 15% gay — downtown TO and Liberal circles are disproportionately populated by homosexuals and gay-friendly straights — so he is making the mistake of equating his little world with the real world.
The 15% of the population is gay number is a lie or an error, as is 10%. Careful research puts the number between 2-4% of the population and Shaidle notes that StatsCan has the number at 1%.
