Less Gay Than We Think

Americans vastly overestimate how many gay people there are.

The article says this is evidence of the success of the LGBT agenda.  I'd say it is evidence of identity group politics spin over-inflating the importance of their agenda.  The fact is, gay marriage is given way too much importance in our national discussion for how much and how many people it actually effects.

To put in perspective, why is gay marriage considered a Civil Rights issue whereas student loan indebtedness is not?  The massive student loan debt has created a form of lifelong indentured servitude impossible for a huge number of people to escape.  What's worse - it is a gigantic scam perpetrated on young folks supposedly "for their own good."  It is, at best, a government sponsored pyramid scheme to funnel money to colleges at the expense of students and at worst, a political scheme to make generations of young people dependent on the government for loan forgiveness (a form of servitude).

As for the practical differences between a civil union and gay marriage -- I couldn't even tell you -- other than this vague notion of "acceptance" in society.  And I support gay marriage, because I don't give a shit, but not because I think it is an important civil rights issue.  Likewise, I don't think it ruins the institution of marriage (certainly not more than say, divorce).
