Geez, that's not even a little biased at all!

The article is interesting enough, but what got me is the comments.
I know, I know! But I like to look at the comments if only I can see what inane meme the far right is trying to promulgate today. (And it almost always is the far right. Say what you like about us bleeding-hearts, we've got no grasp of that level of propaganda.)
Today it appears they're going for some sort of hybrid "the housing crisis would vanish if it wasn't for illegal immigration" garbage, so here's the facts: There is nothing like 30 million undocumented immigrants in the US - reliable statistics put the number closer to 11 million, which is a tiny percentage of the population. In fact, it's approximately 3.5% of the population, which interestingly is about the total population of LGBT individuals in America. Slightly less.
I really should be glad. If I hadn't looked up the numbers, I'd never have put it together that the same people who never stop banging the drum about undocumented immigrants also whine and whine and whine about how LGBT people get "too much" airtime and attention paid to their issues given the percentage of the population they comprise. Ain't that a lovely bit of hypocrisy?

First, thanks for all your suggestions!
