You are making a great decision, but it is frightening that every gay in the country can spend $365.000 a day on goods and services.

For some reason, their spending power is much greater than regular people.

Maybe because the $$’s are a made up number?

Thats what I would guess...pump up the number to make it look impressive...when you break it down to a rate like you have, its pretty well nigh unbelievable.

DINKs. Dual income, no kids.

Sounds like class warfare rhetoric to me but, setting that aside, I don't know gays with that kind of buying power ($130K per year on goods/services) and tax data tells me there's very, very few Americans in that category period.

These days the homosexuals I know are just getting by, several looking for work, like anyone else.

It's about choices. If "regular people" choose to have more kids or one chooses not to work or be underemployed for flexibility in the home, they'll have less money for other things. If they have fewer kids, the opposite is true. If they delay having children into your late 20s, early 30s, you may be better off financially and they as well.

One irony I see is if they were encouraged to pair off and adopt or have children through surrogacy their "buying power" would drop in line with heterosexual couples who make those choices.

Lastly, you won't find many homosexuals as teen parents either.

They're concentrated in overpaid professions in arts, fashion, media, and entertainment. And they don't have children.
