LGBT Porn Stats

[WesJohnson]

Is it just me... or is this the true only way to see if how much people are full of shit. If we somehow could obtain the numbers on how many people are watching it. I'm on the outer ring of the Bible belt I think (VA). So pleaaasssee start here

I don't think surveys have isolated stats for LGBT porn, and I believe the last major survey was in 2009, from which you learn:

Besides its political bent, Utah's per capita appetite for online pornography makes it the nation's run-away red-light state.
A study by a Harvard Business School professor shows that Utah outpaces the more conservative states -- which all tend to purchase more Internet porn than other states.
Online porn subscription rates are higher in states that enacted conservative legislation banning same-sex marriage or civil unions and where surveys show support for conservative positions on religion, gender roles and sexuality, according to an analysis published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives.

APNewsBreak: Web filter lifts block on gay sites

A popular online safe-search filter is ending its practice of blocking links to mainstream gay and lesbian advocacy groups for users hoping to avoid obscene sites.

For several years, top Web-filtering services have been resolving a security over-reach that conflated gay rights websites with child porn, blocking both from web surfers using safe-search software. Now Symantec, one of a handful of key players in the content-filtering market, is joining the push.

Online security firm Symantec told The Associated Press that while customers can still set their search to block offensive websites, there will no longer be an option to block websites just because they relate to sexual orientation.

"Making this change was not only the right thing to do, it was a good business decision," said Fran Rosch, executive vice president, Norton Business Unit, Symantec in a Tuesday announcement. "Having a category in place that could be used to filter out all LGBT-oriented sites was inconsistent with Symantec's values and the mission of our software."

thank you two.... Just imagine if they did more in depth surveys around the nation just like those. More importantly, if the news actually REPORTED these findings along with the gay marriage debate. There wouldn't be one
