They are gonna count people as legally married even when they aren't. That was my main gripe in the article. I'm still waiting for your apology on saying I was lying about that. ricorp,

I was merely pointing out the hipocrisy of the left. They cry "seperation of church and state" but tow the gay marraige line to keep the gays in their camp. How sad for the gays that the lefties also align themselves with wahabist muslims who stone any homosexual while yelling "God is great". Also sad for the feminists who suffer the same hipocrisy from the leftists. Maybe one day the everyday, non elitsist members of these groups will see they are being used as voting blocks and nothing more..... No, that is an assumption you drew using generalizations.

This is a good example of that.

If people want to deviate from normal behavior, why is it we all must suffer, too. It seems everyone wants sympathy at a great cost to those who don't have any reason to seek it.

Could you do some basic research before telling people I am spreading misinformation. There are lots of news articles on this topic. I'm not making it up. And there are gov't videos that say to just check what you feel like you are. GO watch all of them if you don't believe. I didn't link all of them but you can find them by doing your own searching at the gov't site. You are now the second person on here who claims I'm making it up simply because you won't do a simple google news search. Before attacking - do the research. Riocorp.

Personally, there is really no rational definition of a scattering of asian groups but only one "white."

The video you posted in the body of your article is funded by a non-government agency (like you mentioned). These groups are not using our tax dollars. The video links you posted that are funded by the government say nothing about putting yourself down as married even if it is illegal or not recognized in your state. The videos say "same-sex partners and, for the first time, same-sex married partners will be counted." That isn't even remotely close to what you are saying in your article. The actual census form provides a variety of options to clarify your relationship: married, unmarried partner, roommate, etc. There is nothing encouraging same-sex couples to put down married even though they are not legally married. There is no communication from the federal government encouraging you to identify yourself as married when you are not. You article is completely wrong and spreading misinformation.
