Homosexuals are not a minority?

Today I was looking at some comments over on Huffington Post, and someone stated that Homosexuals are not a minority.

Really?

I can find schools that are 80%+ Black, or Hispanic, or Asian, or even hyphenated Whites.
How many schools are even 15% Homosexual?

Every other culture can form communities for their children to grow up in (Chinatown, The Hill, Dogtown, etc.) surrounded by others like them... but not Homosexuals. Homosexuals normally don't even have family like them. Hell, many times their own family looks down on them and are predigest against them. Does it get any more minority then that?

Is it that they can pass for... straight? That you might not know if you saw one walking down the street? That they can avoid all the BS if they just stay in the closet? In that case they are as free as a light skinned Black man in 1920 trying to pass for White, aware that if anyone catches on...

And when Homosexuals move into a neighborhood, the first ones on the block, how often are there people bitching about it? Do they have to worry that someone might vandalize their property? (As opposed to the episode of Will & Grace where the neighbors tried to keep Will & Jack captive so their property values would go up).

Homosexuals: The minority that will never have a chance at being the majority.
Best they can hope for is to be accepted as equals.
