I could probably suggest a number of approaches for you to use in confronting another CD member about the posts they create. But considering the source, I would have never imagined that their use of the English language would be one of them.

Thanks. But I don't know that it's a question of being open-minded as much as it is knowing how to use a dictionary

LMAO momonkey. I challenge you to back that up with ANYTHING. If you are just going to make up baseless insults in an attempt to appear intelligent let me return the favor! You're ugly and you stink. Oh btw, I can point out at least two things you did in the post above that would make an english teacher wince. I would also like to point out the fact that my rebuke of his post had absolutely nothing to do with grammar, nice try there genius.

I know there is a liberal suburb of Chicago near my town that everyone claims to think has a large gay population but it is actually only 0.8% homosexual.

0.8%. Is that like a scientific poll? Or just a big one. Sounds like that's where the large swingers club is.

Trust me. Facts means nothing to many Americans when it comes to human sexuality.

I count two grammatical errors in this post.

Not every gay man fits the stereotypical image, nor do all lesbians. Many gay people do not live to be gay and let everyone know about it, they just live their lives and happen to be gay. Your coworker could be gay and you never know it. Just because he doesn't act catty, love Madonna, or any other horrible exaggeration of gay stereotypes doesn't mean he is straight. He may be hiding it or he may not see it as anyone else's business. I think a 10% estimate is probably fairly accurate.

Here are some interesting facts from the Human Rights Campaign publican on marriage equality.

-Same sex couples live in 99.3% of all counties nationwide

-15% of percent of the estimated 3.1 million people living in same sex relationships in the United States live in rural settings.

-At least one same-sex couple is raising children in 96% of all counties nationwide.

- The highest percentages of same-sex couples raising children live in the South.

Some interesting facts to think about based on numbers from the United States 2000 census.

Just for the record Im bi she is strait she knows approves and joins in. Why do we care what the numbers are? Why is it any of our business who sleeps with who and what sex unless we want to join them. I hate the idea that we should be tolerant who are you to be tolerant of my life. We should just be accepting of all others period.
