While it appears that numbers are moving in the right direction, a new Pew Research poll shows that 36% of the U.S. population still feels that one's sexual orientation can be changed, while 51% does not. The numbers were 39 and 49 percent in a similar poll taken in 2006, and 42 and 42 percent in a 2003 poll.
I guess I have one question for 36% of the country, whom I'm guessing are heterosexual.
::clears throat:: For the 36% of heterosexuals whom feel sexual orientation can be changed, do you think someone could turn you gay?
::waits for them all to pause before saying no::
Alright, thanks for playing. Feel free to join me again on the next episode of Answering a Poll Question Before Thinking About It. See you soon.
