The Day the Homos Disappear - RON ROMANOVSKY

[NoahMAngott]

@Rocketjay12 Amen.

[NoahMAngott]

@SuperJonthon How? Give me one good reason explaining how we would be better off without them?

[NoahMAngott]

*too afraid pf persecution

[NoahMAngott]

@m46279 That number should be higher, since it doesn 't account for those who are LGBT but are to be open about it.

[SuperJonthon]

There is not even that many gay people. And even if you all did you away the pros would outweigh the cons

[Rocketjay12]

Heterosexuality isn't normal. It's just common.

[m46279]

Hanksnow, the official number of LGBT people in the US is 3.8%

[donnymossnyc]

I guess we wouldn't have fun videos like this if the homos disappeared.

[newcard]

Fabulous!!!!!!! Hug.....LC from Birmingham.

[Purkaeus]

I love the way all three Catholic priests disappeared

[clairebeauchamp1]

I loved this video!

[robbwayfan]

This is great. I've been saying with need to do a "day without gays" to get peoples attention to our importance to the economy.

[PlumGurly]

@robbwayfan I'd love to see a year without them, the race-mixers, or the illegal aliens. Then I could use my survivalist skills, and even run for office.

[plokoon9619]

The three people who disliked this were priests.

[Trombaitaliano]

And there won't be a Navy anymore!

[cachaseiro]

I am nothing but a boring hetero, but i am so happy that a large portion of my friends are gay.

Man would life be a lot less colorful without them.

[scratch799]

@cachaseiro Heteros can easily be colorful and unique too- they just have to make sure that gender norms don't control them...

[Jongo55]

i cant stop singing this LOL Glad i'm gay when is our day off??hahaha

[ReverendJCostanzo]

What a perfect time to have found this video on this special day in history with ending the ban on Gays and lesbians serving openly in the service !

I love this thank you ! Also, made me think of my Grandmom playing her music ! (smiles)

I love your voice, very soothing !

[larrfirr]

And a lot of churches would be without an organist.

[buddmar]

This sounds like a Greek(?) or Russian (?) folk song.

[Dhyanyogilove]

Are his pants tight enough?

[Taeodan]

Epic of all epic-tude...fav'ed

[cofasman]

LMAO!!!!!!!! This is soo funny and SOOOO true!!!!!!! The homophobic heterosexuals (aka: Breeders) would be extremly shocked how much this world would crumble if the homos disappear..........give us our rights or we will, we already killing ourselves because you homophobic breeders are making us feel so worthless....or should i say politicians!

[hanksnow82]

@cofasman If there were no homo's the HIV/AIDS wing of our hospital would close .

[cofasman]

@hanksnow82 Whoa, don't bring HIV/AIDS into this cuz there's too many people suffering with it, just out of respect.....but i know at one point gays were the leading people with HIV and maybe still are, but thats just because we have the most sex of all the cultures because men will be men.....i'm not trying to be rude or an activist but HIV affects everyone, theres alot of heterosexuals, right now straight blacks are the highest infected//

[hanksnow82]

@cofasman When speaking of HIV/AIDS you have to distinguish by continent . In North America homosexual men are still the # 1 transmitters of HIV/AIDS

[cofasman]

@hanksnow82 But we're not the only people with HIV/AIDS so I don't understand how getting rid of gay people will get rid of HIV....your reasoning is incorrect, inhumane, ignorant and blind sided....

[hanksnow82]

@cofasman In North America gay men make up the single largest group with HIV / AIDS infections and transmissions .

[unxiam]

@hanksnow82 actually it's heterosexual youth, between the ages of 18 and 25.

[hanksnow82]

Your comparing a study of 750 people to a study of 33 million people , ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME ? were done .

[AZPadawanGirl]

Hate to tell you, you homophobe, but there is nothing wrong with gays. I am straight but not bigoted.

[hanksnow82]

The Canadian study is considered to be the is considered to be the most thorough ever done in North America . You put nothing forward that even comes close to challenging it .

[sonofwalt]

@hanksnow82 Considered by whom? By NARTH? The group that, like Exodus International supports "curing" homosexuals through "therapy?" You call that reputable? Since you won't link to it, I looked it up myself and Noticd the quote, "The Statistics Canada researchers noted that there was a low response rate." Doesn't sound like accurately done research to me.

Since you won't link to it, I looked it up myself and Noticed the quote, "The Statistics Canada researchers noted that there was a low response rate." Doesn't sound like accurately done research to me.

[sonofwalt]

@hanksnow82 This thing seems to be preventing me from posting links so if you go to NARTH dot com slash onepercent dot html and you'll find it. Looks like crap and propaganda to me.

[hanksnow82]

@sonofwalt No one cares what NARTH says but the Canadian survey is the most accurate according to social scientists around the world . For gods sake the Canadian government did not have an agenda when they did the census . The facts are gays make up about 1 % of the population .

[sonofwalt]

"by social scientists around the world." Again, "Who?" And all you offer me is that one study, and I'm the one who had to dig up a link for it. I'm tired of doing your homework for you. "For God's sake," I just told you that even the Canadian Government researchers admitted that there was a low response rate. "Social scientists around the world" also cite the many problems with such research and its findings. I've already mentioned some of them. I'm done talking to you.

[sonofwalt]

Here: Bagley C, Tremblay P (1998). "On the prevalence of homosexuality and bisexuality, in a random community survey of 750 men aged 18 to 27". J Homosex 36 (2): 1–18. A stratified random sample of 750 males aged 18 to 27 in Calgary, Canada included questions on sexual activity and orientation. 15.3% of men "reported being homosexual to some degree" on the basis of three (often overlapping) measures of homosexuality: (1) voluntary, same-gender sexual contact from age 12 to 27: 14.0%;

[sonofwalt]

continued: (2) overlapping homosexual (5.9%) and/or bisexual (6.1%) self-identification: 11.1%; and (3) exclusive (4.3%) and non-exclusive (4.9%) same-gender sexual relationships in past 6 months: 9.2%

There, another Canadian study. I'm done. 

[EJANISON]

I didn't know Ron was from Pittsburgh! I just d/led "Pittsburgh PA" from Itunes.

What neighborhood is he from? I just moved to the Pgh area about a decade ago.

[chefmeche]

This is a great video. I don't understand why so many viewers are being so literal about the percentages.

[HatshepsutPan]

Love it!!!!!! And I love you!!! <3<3<3

[hanksnow82]

Check out Stats Can and it considered the measure for North America . 1% thats all there is .

[mc4bbs]

Filmed in Wagon Mount, NM!

[hanksnow82]

Gays make up 1 % of the population not 10% as this video says . just sayin

[sonofwalt]

@hanksnow82 You're quoting some recent and shoddy research.

[hanksnow82]

@sonofwalt Gays make up 1% of the population in North America and this has been proved over and over by every real independent study and the Canadian and American governments .

[sonofwalt]

@hanksnow82 Send me a link to more than one reliable source. I am not saying that Kinsey's old ten percent rule is accurate (that was speculation I believe in his book in 1948). It was obviously not. However all the research I've looked at says your 1% margin is far too low. The only research study I could find that matches your claim is a 1993 study which asked a group of males, ages 20-39 how many had only male partners in the previous ten years. Median figures point more toward 4 - 7%

[hanksnow82]

@sonofwalt No reputable any where ever has put the number of gays at 4% to 7 % of the population EVERY real study puts the number at 1% Look it up STATISTICS CANADA .

[sonofwalt]

@hanksnow82 I've already looked things up. The stats look pretty much the same. Why would you think Canadian results are more true? At least I quoted a few studies. You have yet to mention one. I'm not doing your homework for you.

[sonofwalt]

And furthermore, Mr. Hanksnow-the-Canadian-Research­-Fan, That one study that I did find, as I mentioned before, which matched your 1% figure (1.1% to be exact) was between men (lesbians are excluded from the findings) ages of 20-39. The test was whether they had had EXCLUSIVELY had sex with only men in the previous ten years. That leaves out THREE groups: 1. Married or partnered men(religious,closeted); 2. Gay men who had EVEN ONE sexual encounter with a female; and 3 men who wouldn't admit it.

[sonofwalt]

Further, the 1.1% study leaves out men who were had straight relationships or encounters within the previous decade. This leaves out a great deal of the gay population, including married gay men who are in the closet, or teens who fear rejection, and so play along or even try to act straight by acquiring a girlfriend. This is not to mention respondents to any survey who fear revealing such personal facts in light of cultural pressure and prejudice.

[Ninure]

Amazing!!

Thank you!!

[LivingStrong56]

This is so refreshing in light of all the recent suicides of teens. Thanks for sharing this to the world. I needed a good laugh...

[iloveit123]

awesome video! hahaha

[VibekeV]

from one queer to another, thank you! so funny!

[cachaseiro]

Great song.

Greetings from a hetero who loves gay people.

[fxbear]

Ah the shock on their faces when they discover I wasnt the only one in my family...if they only knew what I know.

Thanks for the laugh.

[ArieSchmarie]

I love it - one supreme court justice, and every single priest.

[nikkonfuzion]

It's cute...in a gay sort of way.

[grandmasingleton]

[popazz1]

[agriessel]

[pudgeuncle]

I live in Florida...and we wouldn't have a governor if ALL the homos stayed home.

[Auroster]

[TheLesbianAngel09]

[Notawesomeatall7]

THIS IS AWESOME, THANK YOU FOR LETTING THE WORLD KNOW HOW MUCH LIFE WOULD SUCK WITHOUT GAYS

[ISDesigns]

Well done Mister.

[BettyBooPiggieToo]

This is a hoot will be humming it all day tomorrow, and you know I will miss many of good people if it came true, so don't "Disappear" Homo's...

[lenabartula]

Dadou, what a wonderful surprise to see what you're up to! I'm living in Mexico now, and a friend here just sent this to me!  Fond memories of Gordes and our Fellini parade.

hugs,

Lena

[longhairedtechie]

Hey.. I know that theater at 0:43.. Lucie Stern Theater in Palo Alto, Ca.

I've worked there for 28 years..

In fact, I rewired that ghost light about 6 months ago..

The photo was taken by our sound operator, during one of our opera productions.

[UglySean]

I never thought a singer so sexy could sing such a spooky song. Whatever became of Phillips? Back to screw....drivers...... I suppose.

[tolbit397]

In the background there is a Post Office with the Zip code 87752 which is Wagon Mound, NM

[TsunamiGal]

Love it!

Stellar tambourine work. :)

[MaxPennington]

Brilliant! So true, too. Broadway wouldn't have gone on such a binge of revivals if the better part of a generation hadn't been lost to that dreadful illness.

Without fags, will Fred Phelps pick some other lot for God to hate?

[WorcesterYid]

Ron, baby, you rock! that was wicked pissah!

[Dantebeatrice69]

This is like the "gay" version of the Rapture! Hilarious! I love this! And so true.

[Bogframe]

I want the building a :59! Where is it?

[uppityhomo]
