Montreal has densest same-sex Population, at 0.51% of couples, survey says BY LifeSiteNews.com MONTREAL, February 16, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Same-sex rights advocates claim that a major sub-section of the population is being denied the right to health and pension benefits enjoyed by normal, married heterosexual spouses. Yet a recent survey conducted by the Environics Research Group is revealing an entirely different picture. These latest findings disclose the reality that homosexuals in long-term relationships are rare - as rare as 0.16 percent of total couples polled in Hamilton, for example, and only 0.44 percent of couples were of the same sex in Toronto. Canada’s city with the highest density of same-sex couples, Montreal, has a little over ½ of one percent.  Contrary to inaccurate but widely accepted claims of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, who alleges that homosexuals comprise as much as 10 percent of the population, most research and statistics reveal a rate, at most, of one to three percent. The statistics are the result of a nation-wide survey that polled over 2000 people in December, and which ranked 12 cities on various parameters such as education and divorce rates.  The results revealed that same-sex-couple prevalence ranges from one out of every 196 couples in Montreal to one out of every 227 in second-place Toronto. The city with the least prevalence, Hamilton, had one same-sex couple per every 625.  Read the LifeSiteNews.com Special Report: “What Gay & Lesbian Activists Won’t Tell You or Your Children: Homosexual Myths and Realities” at: http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/1999/apr/990426a.html http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/same-sex-couples-comprise-of-1-percent-at-most-of-total-couples-in-canadian/
