GREEN: Much to our surprise, LGBT Americans Think, Act, Vote More Green Than Others: even though gays aren’t allowed to adopt kids and they can’t have ‘em on accident (at least not with our preferred gender of mate) a new study shows that LGBTS are still way more concerned about the ozone layer than all ze breeders, which this Reuters article attributes to “a very high sense of community and cooperation that many LGBT citizens know first hand.” You know, like how we made the AIDS quilt together, and built huts for our hippie lesbian naked mating rituals and child-rearing at the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival etc.

It’s a relatively small sample size and the statistical differences here aren’t all that significant either, but nevertheless — if they’re right about lezzies being so into the planet, this post will have lots of comments! (If it doesn’t, everyone reading this better go cool the global whatevs now)

Two-thirds (66%) of lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender adults say that it is important to support environmental causes, compared with 56% of non-LGBT adults.

Three-quarters (75%) of LGBT adults (compared with 53% of heterosexuals) believe global warming is happening right now

39% of LGBT adults say they have seen or read Al Gore`s “An Inconvenient Truth” while only 20% of heterosexuals say they have seen or read it.

Althugh LGBT households are not parenting as frequently as heterosexuals, 51% say they are concerned about the planet we are leaving behind for future generations — compared to 42% of heterosexual adults.

22% of heterosexuals think “going green” is a marketing tactic but only 16% of LGBT adults agree.

So even though we can’t have kids, we sill want your kids to have trees to play in. That’s so gay! And by “gay” I mean “happy.”
