Note from the elves. For the record: The above press release from Zacchaeus Fellowship was issued following the passage of Resolution A186. A further statement related to the failure of resolution A187 is in the works, so Zacchaeus informs us by e-mail
Tegularius:
Many Americans voted for Ross Perot. Not a significant percentage, but it was still a lot of people. The Zacchaeus Fellowship doesn’t claim to represent all or most homosexuals, but they do legitimately represent “many.”
Samh, I agree but it is worth noting that Ross got 19% of the vote. Most scientific samples have found that those with a homosexual orientation are about 2 to 3 % of the total population. So the claim to represent many is conditioned on the size of the group.
…for suitably small values of “many”.
