Reporters are revisiting three perennial stories, just in time for Pride Month:
The Atlantic on how wrong, wrong, wrong those poor, clueless straights are. Thirty-five percent of people polled guessed that 25% or more of Americans are gay or lesbian. Another seventeen percent guessed the percentage of gay or lesbian Americans is 20% - 25%. The magazine says the correct answer is "probably less than 2%."
HuffPost reports 2011 saw the highest number of antigay murders ever in one year in the US, since tracking this stat began in 1998: Thirty killings.
The NYT says gaydar is accurate about 64% of the time guessing whether or not women are lesbians and 57% of the time when trying to figure out if a man is a top or bottom, uh, into you gay.
