The original data published by the 2010 Census set the number of same-sex households in the U.S. in 2010 at 901,997, including 349,377 same-sex married couple households and 552,620 same-sex unmarried partner households.

But the Census Bureau said in a Tuesday conference call with reporters that it has revised these numbers downward “because Census Bureau staff discovered an inconsistency in the responses in the 2010 Census summary file statistics that artificially inflated the number of same-sex couples.”

The Census Bureau now says the 2010 Census found that there were 131,729 same-sex married couple households and 514,735 same-sex unmarried partner households in the United States--for a total of 646,464 same-sex-couple households.

Bad data due to "capture errors".

And we're expected to redefine the concept and meaning of marriage for .55% of the population.

If you look at those figures and even add another 1.5 million individuals for good measure , it's obvious that as a percentage of population faggots are a tiny , tiny minority . So whence comes their power to upset every damned apple cart they don't like ?

It comes from people too timid to speak up--they want to be liked (over rated by my way of thinking) OR they have their own morality issues they don't want to be called on so they support anyone else's morally challenged behavior (along the lines of don't tell me not to have an abortion and I won't tell you who you can't have sex with)
