I've read them all. Obviously you have not. If you are going to speak, try to do so with some knowledge to back up what you are saying.

Again, I went to one site from your list at random, and the first thing I read was what I quoted previously, suggesting that you had not read your research with an open mind. Therefore no need to read the remainder. *shrug*

Please point out the question where sexual orientation is asked.

Let me make it easy for you. There isn't one. However, let me demonstrate exactly how people like you try to spin things. In the 2000 Census questionnaire, two questions regarding same-sex partnerships were asked. However, only 25% of male gays and 40% of female gays are in share-household relationships, meaning that between 3-6 times more homosexuals were not counted in the census, which would bring us to the 3%-7% that I cited. Of course, those of your ilk do not mention this, spinning the numbers.

You have been debunked. Again. As usual.

Which is an inaccurate assertion...one of your most common ways of debating. Try to have some integrity and read all of the studies.

Debunked in post 231. Don't you get tired of being shown how wrong and non-credible you are, all the time?

Debunked by your false logic:

WASHINGTON, March 13, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Census Bureau released a Census 2000 report on married- and unmarried-couple households today. The 16-page report, Married-Couple and Unmarried-Partner Households: 2000, indicates that homosexual couples account for only 1 percent of all couples - married and non-married. Of the 60 million households headed by couples, 0.6 million were headed by same-sex partners.

U.S. CENSUS DATA SHOWS HOMOSEXUAL COUPLES ACCOUNT FOR 1 PERCENT OF ALL COUPLES

I patiently wait for your attack on the source. :cool:
 
Despite the agenda of your source. "Couples" being the key word. They can't get married you know.

Irrelevant. Prove that homosexuals do not make up 3%-7% of the population as I have stated. All your information discusses are couples. The issue is the percentage of gays, not gay couples.

I understand the you are often wrong, but at least try to stay on top of what we are discussing.

BTW, source debunked as being irrelevant to the issue. :2razz:

Did the Census take any numbers on how much people who feel like they are treated like second class citizens, trust their government?

Maybe sometimes people just can not admit what they are to themeselves like Ted Haggard.
 
Here is your assertion.

Prove it. Your census source has been debunked as only referring to couples and having no sexual orientation question. Prove your assertion, or stand down from it.

1. You are asking me to prove a negative, which is illogical.
2. The long form US Census study counts people who are in a gay household, then compares this to the total cohabitation households in the US. This survey represents a data set that it in the range of 100 times larger than most studies, and comes up with the 1% figure.

So single gays don't count? Is that your position?
