According to a recent Gallup survey, of the total U.S. adult population (approximately 243 million U.S. adults), less than 1 percent, only .8 percent (approximately 2 million U.S. adults), are part of a same-sex couple.
The same survey finds that approximately .3 percent (.3%) of U.S. adults are married to a same-sex spouse, a mere .5 percent (.5%) identify as being in a same-sex domestic partnership and, of the estimated .8 percent (.8%) of the total U.S. adult population that are a part of a same-sex couple, 780,000 are married. In other words, of the estimated 2 million adults that are a part of a same-sex couple, 39 percent (39%) are married.
Gallup’s survey also has statistics for “All others.” “All others” account for the estimated 241,000,000 U.S. adults (99.2%) that are not either married with a same-sex spouse or unmarried and living with a same-sex domestic partner.
“At 990,000, Gallup’s estimated number of same-sex married or domestic partner couples in the U.S. is significantly higher than past estimates derived from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS), which in 2013 put the number of same-sex couples at roughly 727,000,” says Gallup. “Of this group, more than 250,000 reported that they were married. The Census Bureau, however, has cautioned that the ACS estimates of married same-sex couples may not be completely reliable as they have determined that a large portion of recorded married same-sex couples may actually be married heterosexual couples who miscoded the sex of one of the spouses."
“These data are based on 80,568 interviews conducted on Gallup Daily tracking from Jan. 28-April 19, 2015,” says Gallup.
They all live in Hollywood, so the media gives a skewed impression of their numbers.
1% of the population wants to tell the other 99% how to live.
And of the .5 unmarried same sex couples, many of those would never want to be in a “married” relationship with their same sex partner.
and yet those people are making policy and running things
And if you think the majority of same-sex “married” couples stay monogamous after getting “married”, I got some swampland in Florida to sell you.
Bingo!!!!!!! You have been given the most highly sought after seven exclamation mark award. Congratulations.
Well, they are certainly either in the media or in the entertainment industry. Of course that’s straight from the Department of Redundancy Department.
Those numbers are too high. They are way overrepresented. The Gay advocacy groups deliberately skew polls wherever they can.
They pretty much run the whole media, soup to nuts.....And if you want to work in that town, you’d better toe the party line.
Anything above zero is too many.
So all this hoopla for a rounding error.
Well, imagine that.
I a it buying that or your swampland.
Most will have a relationship for a year or two but they end up crashing. They’re too used to having so many partners. It is all some of them know.
The homosexuals who have entered my sphere have tended to be unbalanced.
I could elaborate in detail but there’s no need to here.
No more than 3% of population at most; act like they’re mainstream
I’ve been wondering about this, actually. One of the standard talking points by gay activists has been “studies show that gay marriage will be a tremendous economic benefit to local communities, etc.” Like most activist scholarship (as I like to call it), I’ve long taken this study with a rather large grain of salt.
What they actually mean is they will howlcott the hell out of any locale that dares defy them... other than that, they won’t even be a measurable drop in the bucket to the good...
The other <1% of the faggots like the restroom and random hookup action too much to give it up.
If it’s so low, then why are there countless, never ending threads on the topic?
