So. Gonna stop bullshitting anytime soon?
It would be nice if you learned how to attribute a quote. I recognize Mani and Jillian's quotes. I don't remember seeing the other 1 so I don't know where it comes from.
I had already stated that Manifold and Jillian had stated support. Its not my fault if you have memory issues.
You another moron who can't differentiate subtle differences?
Here's 1 of my thoughts (I'll give you something to attack so you can ignore everything else ) on the subject: I don't have any problem with diversity on the supreme court, however I think it should be proportionate to the people they are presiding over. For example, I think roughly half should be women because women are roughly half of the population. According to 1 source I looked up the census bureau projected the black population at 12% for 2008, so clearly there should be at least 1 black justice. I think a criteria that represents the population of the people would be fair. Do we have enough homosexuals in this country to warrant representation? I don't know, but that is how I would begin to look at the question.
So I did.
The SCOTUS is comprised of 9 justices, thus if evenly divided each should represent about 11% of the people.
According to Gary Gates a Senior Research Fellow at The Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy, a think tank dedicated to the field of sexual orientation law and public policy the 1-in-10 number for LGBTs isn't entirely accurate. Here's what he says:
Gary Gates said:That's the single question that I'm asked the most. The answer is unfortunately not simple. I'll respond with a question. What do you mean when you use the word 'gay'? If you mean people who identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual in a survey, then the answer is that it's likely not one in ten, but closer to one in twenty. A recent government survey found that 4 percent of adults aged 18-45 identified as 'homosexual' or 'bisexual.' A similar proportion of voters identify as GLB. If you define gay as having same-sex attractions or behaviors, you do get higher proportions that are a bit closer to the one in ten figure."
(Interview with Gary Gates of The Williams Institute)
There ya go, an expert doesn't think it's quite 1 in 10 that are gay. To meet my criteria they could have needed to have at least 11% to warrant inclusion.
See? That was easy. I don't know why you guys could pony up a decent response, that wasn't hard at all.
Congratulations. You managed to find a reason thats not homophobic. Of course its so incredibly stupid that nobody would actually believe that, but you did find one. Kudos on a job poorly done.
There are a couple different posting styles here. It seems like you're trying to fit the troll mold. You've got a lot of work to do if you're going to measure up. I probably won't be bothering with you anymore tho, I like a little more substance than you seem to be able to provide. Have fun.
