Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Ake, you might want to actually read some of the articles. Several of them completely contradict what you keep saying. The Williams Institute is a department of the UCLA Law School that analyzes data about gays and lesbians. You might want to read the article where they state that 5% of the households in the United States are made up of same-sex couples.

And further:

LOS ANGELES -- A new study published today by UCLA's Williams Institute finds that same-sex couples eagerly take advantage of the ability to marry or form civil unions when presented with the opportunity. More than 85,000 couples have already signed up for legal recognition in eleven states--40% of all same-sex couples in these states.

I'll leave it as an exercise for you to find the rest of the article.

Have a happy Christmas. We're having a houseful of guests for Christmas, so I doubt I'll be around until afterward.
