If the desire to see their fellow citizens treated equally doesn't motivate voters and lawmakers in states around the U.S. to support marriage equality, perhaps the influx of revenue that Maryland, Maine, and Washington are about to bring in from the gays will make them a little more amenable to the idea!

In a new study by David M. Barnes, a doctoral candidate at Columbia University and Ilan H. Meyer, PhD, Senior Scholar for Public Policy at the Williams Institute, data reportedly shows Latino and black lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) men and women are more religious than White LGBs.

Earlier this week we were totally not surprised to learn that Provincetown had dethroned San Francisco as the gayest place in America, and possibly on the planet.
