The trend for homosexuality goes down. Is that what you mean ?
Glad you late-bloomer finally got on board.

I imagine that's because the term "heterosexuality" was coined just to contrast with homosexuality, and thus cases where it's used would mostly be a subset of cases where "homosexuality" is used. Otherwise, people would generally just call it "sex."

Yah and homosexuality owns heterosexuality too if you noticed it doesn't even pop up.
That said straight can mean other things too so I figured it wasn't as useful.

You can't turn gay... you have to be born that way

(Keep in mind I honestly don't think it's a biological thing)

I'm not really sure where it stems from either, but one thing that I have noticed about "gay" people, is that they seem to want everyone on the planet to know that they're gay. Not only do they want everyone to know, but they want everyone to talk with them about how interesting that is. I think that gay people are just attention whores who have found a method of garnering attention to themselves.

(I'm not completely serious btw...)

I googled for it, normally if the built in OS X spell checker doesn't know what it should be, then google does, and google gave me no problems.

That's because many others misspell it, too. Trust your dictionary, not Google.

Salty I figured out why you chose "salty" as your name. Something to do with Jesus using a salt metaphor and saying we should be more like the salt. I don't remember where in the bible it is, but ya.

Ok back to talking about Google Trends.
