There are a LOT of "same-sex" households that have nothing to do with bed-buddies, sexual orientation, or X-rated behavior.

An older dad and his adult son.

Two Mormon missionary lads.

A disabled woman and her residential care-giver.

Two college roomies.

Sisters sharing a house.

Grandpa and adult grandson on the farm.

If these are all going to be extrapolated and construed as part of the Triumphant, Conquering Gay Constituency --- you know what's next: O NOES! Under-served populations! Funding to match!

And worse, people can't share a house, an apartment, or even an unbrella anymore without somebody assuming they're sex partners.

It annoys me up to the eyeballs. It's making every kind of friendship and fellowship and partnership problematic, except for the gibberish alphabet group that starts out with LGBTQQI and ends with AIDS and STD.

The numbers were originally overreported for no other reason than motives driven by ideology and political correctness.

Don’t forget, these are the same folks who wanted to use “statistical sampling” in the census because it is supposedly MORE accurate than actual counting..

So given the margin of error, a fraction of a percent of the population is trying to foist their views and desires upon the rest of the population? This is a joke, right? If these statistics prove out, then same sex couples have relegated themselves to insignificance. If they don't like it, they'll get over it.

And since gays can’t reproduce, theoretically, there will be no more gays in two generations....which tells us that GAY means soliciting kids...like the 14 year old that just killed himself.

It gets back to one simple question: How do they justify the questions they are asking? They are Constitutionally mandated to take an enumeration. That’s all. One question, one number. They are not mandated to try to guess who is sleeping with whom.

I answered the “race” question as HUMAN. To date, none of the pointed headed libs has approached me about that one, to their self preservation.

Recently, two of my co-workers and I discovered that three other co-workers whom we’d assumed were gay, weren’t. We were kind of joking about it, “What’s the world coming to, all these straight single people with dogs,” but what it highlighted to us was that the gay community has indeed successfully convinced many of us that being gay is more pervasive than it is.

Which is why they have to indoctrinate other peoples children into their vile, dysfunctional cult.
If you want to find the homosexuals - go to a place where there's children. You'll find them slithering around the kids.

“Households are identified as same-sex based on the sex of the responder and the relationship of the household members, as either unmarried partner or husband or wife, according to the Census Bureau.”

If two folks of the same sex get “married” in one state and then move or live in another state that doesn’t have impossibilities like “gay marriage”, how does the state want them to record that on the census? Or I guess that doesn’t matter, if they are married anywhere they are considered married?

Well, it took a long time for the 10% number to be challenged as the percentage of gays in society. It is actually around 2-3%. I'm surprised they corrected this number so soon.

But, you are right. Are they just counting all people who live together and are of the same sex, homosexual? If so, the actual number would be even lower than the, now, corrected number.

Political correctness was designed to silence (and intimidate) people from speaking out against left wing special interest groups and their agenda. As proof - name just one right wing group protected by political correctness. You can't. There isn't one.

American institutions who do not obey these rules will be financially destroyed by ACLU lawyers (who are funded by those who wish to destroy America from within) in the courts.

Americans are by no way tolerant of homosexuals. They believe their free will has been stolen from them (hate speech litigation), but they still have their right to speak freely. So, speak up now, or forever hold your tongue!

Bullshit.

A pair of buddies decide to claim their "gay" with another male, rent an apartment or buy a house, and can gain benefits for the un-insured one, protection for themselves in case of being laid off, fired, etc., and have women regularly in for partyin'.

Gaming the system using political-correctness to gain benefits.
