Gay Families Growing

[William769]

(New York City) The number of gay and lesbian families across the country is growing at a fast pace a new study finds.

The survey, by Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications for OpusComm Group an LGBT marketing company, shows that 53 percent of female respondents were in relationships and 42 percent of males are partnered.

The largest proportion of those who are coupled have been together between 4 – 7 years

The study also found 21 percent of lesbians and 5 percent of gay men currently have a child living at home. In addition two thirds of lesbian households said they plan on adding children to their family in the next three years while only a third of male couples plan on raising children.

The new statistics are in marked contrast to a similar study in 2002 that found only 15 percent of lesbians and 5 percent of gay men intended to have children

3. Knowing personally a lesbian couple with a teenage daughter...

...who drives both her mom and step-mom nuts with all the BOYFRIENDS she has calling their house at all hours and staying out late with them all the time. Yet all the fundies think they only want to raise kids to make them gay too.
