Pakistan has more out gays than the US?

[Wajdan]

I can't believe this. There are just 457,960 US gays on Facebook, 0.4% of all US Facebook users. Lesbians are 1,768,780 or 1.6% of all US Facebook users.

Strangely enough, Pakistan has the highest percentage of gay male users at 2.0%, 5 times that of the US.

No, it just means fewer gay men in the US use facebook. They are more likely to use other social networking sites like JUB/Gaydar.

Pakistani gay men and US lesbians probably have fewer options.

There are lies, damn lies and statistics!

Well, US has the highest number of FB users and the penetration is 41.14% of total population.

And this means that there would be millions of gays among them. I guess many gays in the US are afraid to be open about their sexuality. Out Pakistanis would be extremely brave or maybe they are trying to make a statement. Minorities in repressive countries often find unique ways of making their presence felt so this maybe the case with Pakistani gays.

Well, Facebook is for college students, co-workers and family members to keep in touch with each other, right?

In the US, it usually creates a problem if one of these people know you're gay. . .so maybe that has something to do with it? \()/?


In fact, i've known plenty of gay people who leave their sexual orientation blank on Myspace or Facebook.

That figure saddens me.

Internet users are a wealtheir and urban dwelling section of Pakistani society.
Perhaps with less at stake socially if they were "outed"
And I think its only 2 % of the internet users in Pakistan anyway.
So a pretty miniscule number...

Well I am surprised to know that too. Though the term "Gay" is perceived here as a synonymous to "Male Whore" or "Transexual". I guess those call boys might have created the page for business purpose, I am gay and I have mentioned myself as straight, though I am just out to my brother, I am still not willing to risk to come out in public.

How are those figures calculated? I for example have never listed my "interested in" on my facebook. Nor is my facebook visible to most people. I feel like this is a bunk stats operation.

Facebook owns your information, even if you don't make it visible, its always ready to be extracted for their statistical purpose, I play Mafia Wars, and through the use of scripts we can extract information from the game, that we are not allowed in general to even analyze

 

[BeMused]

^^ I know that. Did facebook release this info? If it didn't, then the fact that they own whatever I put on my facebook page is irrelevent.

 

[BigBoss]

Which has been blocked by your country and you have no access to. So how the fuck would you know? lol

Come and scratch my wounds more deep . It has been banned from today and I don't know when will they allow it back. Dude I am missing Farmville and Mafia Wars.

 

[BigBoss]

You scratched my wounds when you threw 9/11 in our faces. Let's just say I was being extra nice here.

I threw it cuz the participants asked for it. You threw shits on my belief and I threw a burning antiseptic on your wounds. Fair enough.

 

[BigBoss]

Well, good to know that you are not mature enough for a real discussion. You've sealed it for me. Thanks for playing and have fun.

Oh! Sorry I forgot I was talking to some barn rats. Real Discussion! My ass.

Go get some background knowledge.

Well, considering most people in Pakistan that have access to the Internet and that many homosexuals are, well, affluent for the most part, I do not see this as a startling statistic. The Internet is readily available in Western culture, implying the homosexual population can be diluted with heterosexuals.

I'm talking out of my ass by the way.

And you stole that from the Talking to Americans thread. Trolled harder, BigBoss...because you're failing. Horribly.
