It ain't what you don't know that hurts you...
OK, here’s something to be annoyed about. (We could all use more of that, right?) Thanks to kathrynt, I looked up this MSNBC story about a recent poll on American attitudes towards gays and the freedom to marry, and then looked up the poll report itself. (This is always a good idea, if you can manage it. Newspapers often leave out important details; television always does.) On page two I found the following information:
Why are people homosexual?19852003Something born with20%30%Way people are brought up22%14%Way some prefer to live42%42%Don’t know16%14%
Only 14% knew the right answer, and that’s down from 16% in 1985!
