It doesn't matter if they surveyed every man, woman, child, and transgender in the area, their study is in no way, no how representative of anything outside the San Francisco metro area. ... And yes, we're all politely ignoring every survey, and every portion of survey, that doesn't "consistently" match the Christian Right's chosen beliefs.

Well then. Like I said to madg, show me some research results from some other metropolitan area that prove homosexuals aren't any more likely than heterosexuals to be promiscuous, or to engage in substance abuse, or to engage in sexual relations with children under the age of 16, or to exhibit emotional disorders, etc., etc., etc.

Show me all those surveys that don't " 'consistently' match the Christian Right's chosen beliefs."

Go ahead. Make my day.

Sorry, but that's not how it works. Research done in a single metropolitan area is not representative of anything outside that area, and that's just the way it is. It doesn't matter if you're researching homosexuals, Christians, or guys named Bob. The only disproving needed is that you have no proof.

Some compilations of surveys, ignored by the Christian Right, showing that there's very little consistency anywhere.

2000 Census -- percentage of same-sex couples by state ranging from .47%-5.14%

60 years counting queers: Gay population studies since Kinsey Information on various studies reporting a homosexual population of somewhere between 1-9%

How Many Lesbians and Gay Men Are There? an exploration of Gay demographics Same same.

Demographics of the Gay and Lesbian Population in the United States: Evidence from Available Systematic Data Sources "...overview of standard social science data sources that now allow some systematic study of the gay and lesbian population in the United States..."

Oh, here's a fun one: Prevalence of Homosexuality Brief Summary of U.S. Studies (Compiled 6/99)
