Report Finds Canada's Same-Sex Couples Immeasurably Small in Number
LifeSite ^ | November 14, 2004

Posted on 12/15/2004 11:42:46 AM PST by NYer

OTTAWA, December 14, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A new report on Canadian families released in November revealed that, contrary to media bias, there are extremely few same-sex couples in the nation.

The report, Profiling Canada's Families, was conducted by the Vanier Institute of the Family. The number of same-sex couples was so insignificant that it prompted VIF executive director of research Robert Glossop to say that, although the trend towards non-traditional families like common-law and single parent families was on the increase, the number of same-sex couples could not be measured.

"There are not enough of them to represent a fundamental change in the family makeup," a Hamilton spectator report said of the report.

"There are not enough of them to represent a fundamental change in the family makeup,"

And for less than 1/2 percent, the Supreme Court will legalize homosexual marriage!

Then why the heck did we give them the right to marry? Not that greater number would warrant that.

The media keeps insiting the child molestor Kinsey's fraudulent numbers on homosexuality are correct and are shocked when it doesn't pan out in a study. I think the same percentage of homosexual Canucks found in this report is likely the same percentage in the U.S. (most likely a little higher in the Blue States)

Well, it's a good thing that they overturned a sacred institution for Fran and Lois, sharing a log cabin over in Nova Scotia.

So the Moral intelligence of the Canadian citizens in the majority, is to be questioned, since the law to okay same sex marriage was passed for this few.

Better ask the Gideons to pass out more Bibles, with the Soddom and Gomora passages highlited.

Ops4 God Bless America!

One-half of one percent? Hmmm.

I'll have to remember this when the libs say the "death tax" only affects a very small percentage of people . . .

The population of California is greater than the population of Canada. There are aprox. 34,000,000 people in Canada and if the population of same sexers is the same as the US the total number would be aprox. 1500/1600. How can you make laws for 1500 and ignore the Majority.

With 34 million people Canada is a pimple on the world

You are off by a factor of ten. But your point is still valid.

The problem is with all the various permutations of sodomites coupling the same sodomites get counted multiple times.

The rampant promiscuity throughs off the whole count
