HATE CRIME! HATE CRIME! HATE CRIME!

It is illegal to say anything negative about the gay "lifestyle."

You are only allowed to say positive things about it.

[RockinRight]

Criminal activities? You mean like sleeping with children?

[Millee]

Oh this will go over well.

"Homosexual unions are totally lacking in the biological and anthropological elements of marriage and family which would be the basis, on the level of reason, for granting them legal recognition. Such unions are not able to contribute in a proper way to the procreation and survival of the human race. The possibility of using recently discovered methods of artificial reproduction, beyond involving a grave lack of respect for human dignity,(15) does nothing to alter this inadequacy."

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

why should these revelations surprise anyone when the premise of their lives is a crime against nature?

[brooklyn dave]

Well, it's not exactly an unbiased source.

[longtermmemmory]

Now the homosexuals will move to decriminalize whatever it is the study shows.

[dangus]

Go figure that I'd ever defend homosexuals, but a 12% increase in criminal behavior rates is not impressive. Far, far away from what I would call "far more likely." In fact, I could think of a hundred legitimate statistical adjustments that would probably make that number disappear.

[Mr. Mojo]

A forty-eight page study to be published two weeks from now

It'll be interesting to see if the MSM reports it.

[Red Badger]

...homosexuals are over 12% more likely to have been booked for illegal activity than heterosexuals...

That would explain prison behavior..............

[GOPJ]

Being gay is worse for your health than eathing Big Macs every day.

Also in the news, The Grass is Green!

Next up, a Special Report on the Color of the Sky!

[Uncle Hal]

The MSM will not like this story. It will be buried deep in the paper, if it is published at all. Very politically incorrect.

[biblewonk]

In fact, according to the study, homosexuals are over 12% more likely to have been booked for illegal activity than heterosexuals.

Hardly even a blip compared to black vs white criminal activity probability.

[RipSawyer]

. In fact, according to the study, homosexuals are over 12% more likely to have been booked for illegal activity than heterosexuals.>>>>The data for criminality indicated that 22.8% of homosexuals have been booked for committing a crime, compared to 11% of heterosexuals.>>>>>

Which is it? I don't doubt the conclusion but it would be better if it were stated in a mathematically plausible way. Is there nobody writing who understands simple arithmetic? This sort of thing is all too common today. The comparative percentages of 22.8 versus ll would indicate that homosexuals are more than TWICE as likely to have been booked rather than "over 12% more likely". How am I supposed to grant credibility to someone who cannot even say what they mean?

[Labyrinthos]

I would like to see the underlying data, particularly the sampling techniques used to sample the people who responded to the survey, as well as the actual questions. Because the author of the report appears to have an agenda, I have a feeling that the conclusions are based upon statistical junk and/or statistical misrepresentations. For example, the article states that the "data for criminality indicated that 22.8% of homosexuals have been booked for committing a crime, compared to 11% of heterosexuals." BFD. The real issue is not how many queers vs. straights have been "booked" for a crime, but how many have been convicted of a crime. Why is conviction important? Because in the absence of conviction data, one might conclude that LEO's are more likely to arrest queers if only because they don't like queers. I would also like to know the details about the underlying crimes. Why? Because I suspect a large number of queers are arrested for disorderly conduct during acts of uncivil disobediance. In addition, "sodomy" remains a crime in many states and therefore, if queer on queer sodomy is included in the statistics, then the study also needs to include straight on straight sodomy.

[Antoninus]

In fact, according to the study, homosexuals are over 12% more likely to have been booked for illegal activity than heterosexuals....The data for criminality indicated that 22.8% of homosexuals have been booked for committing a crime, compared to 11% of heterosexuals.

Actually, that means that the incidence of illegal activity among people with SSAD is over 100% greater than us evil "Christer" breeders. I have to say, I 'm shocked. /sarcasm
