I didn't follow any of the links in the ad...I mean, article...but I'll let y'all take it all apart. Even if the stats are correct, this article is unashamedly biased. It was chosen as part of the news on my Android news bulletin widget, probably by accident.

I did follow the links, especially to the Washington Post. I found all sites really put it out there in a biased way, either pro or con. When it comes down to it, though, it really depends on who is asked the question and if they are asked the question while being guaranteed it's confidential and then it depends on who is using the information and for what agenda. All numbers are capable of being reported in a way that supports a view, either positively or negatively, especially as we gear up for 2012 elections. :2cents:

I'd say the most significant and least reported headline in that one is there being a finding of more bi people than gay people both in identity and behaviour.

But it's not the most robust research in the world ever, even if on that aspect it does reflect what I believe!

Well any article about GLBT anything that appears on the same page with an ad for the John Birch Society has to be a joke, even if they say they are serious.

I'd sooner believe a Ford ad talking about Toyota...
