Men and women in same-sex couples are more likely to commute by public transport and less likely to drive to work than those in different-sex couples, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of Exeter Business School analyzed how sexual orientation impacts on choice of transport to work, using data from the American Community Survey comprising 3 million working age households.
They found a 'sexual orientation gap' that was particularly stark among men, with gay and bisexual men in same-sex couples 7% more likely to commute by public transport (for women the gap was 3%) and 13% less likely to drive to work.
Men with a partner of the same sex were on average 69% more likely to commute by less popular forms of transport such as walking or cycling.
The data also showed that men in same-sex couples were 45% more likely to work from home than men in different-sex couples.
The analysis was made using a 1% random sample of the US population from the American Community Survey 2008-18, a nationally representative cross-section of the US population that contains demographic, economic, social, work and housing information.
But the train has to go in the tunnel. I saw it in North by Northwest.
Back when I was living in the city of ATlanta, it was common knowledge not to use the bathroom in the Border’s bookstore by Lenox Square mall.
Wow, did you really figure that out? I can’t even think about that movie without having a seizure!
But seriously, I used to have dreams about that movie. I’m not sure why. It was kinda boring once I saw it all the way through on the big screen. Karma, maybe? (Or am I actually a gay male?)
Strangely enough, my father explained it to me.
9. THE INFAMOUS INNUENDO AT THE END WAS ALL HITCHCOCK.
One of the things North by Northwest is famous for is its concluding shot of a train entering a tunnel, which serves as a visual pun for the main characters’ planned night of romance. Hitchcock considered it one of his finest, naughtiest achievements. And he gets all the credit, too: Lehman’s screenplay just ended with “the train heads off into the distance,” or words to that effect. “There’s no way I can take credit for [the tunnel],” Lehman said, adding: “Dammit.”
Next thing you know, they'll pay for a study to determine if blind people have more trouble driving that people with normal vision.
Yes we all know who is driving those Priuses.
More sexual opportunities in high density big cities
Your old man was like, “If I don’t explain a few things to this kid, I’ll never have any grandchildren!”
