Study: Bisexuals vastly more likely to be on food stamps than gays, straights (http://dailycaller.com/2014/02/21/study-bisexuals-vastly-more-likely-to-be-on-food-stamps-than-gays-straights/#ixzz2tzYvvbH9)


Bisexuals are vastly more likely to be on food stamps than their gay and straight counterparts and same-sex couples are more likely to need food assistance than different-sex couples, according to a new report.

With record numbers of people on food stamps in recent years, a new report from the Williams Institute, a UCLA School of Law think tank, has broken down the likelihood of food stamp use and food insecurity — defined as “uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods” or “uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways” — based on sexual orientation.

The study used data from the National Survey of Family Growth, the American Community Survey, and Gallup to conclude that LGBT people and those in same-sex couples are more likely to be food insecure and use food stamps than their heterosexual counterparts.

Additional key findings in the study include:


Rates of food insecurity are higher for LGBT adults when compared to non-LGBT adults across several national surveys, and across gender, age, racial/ethnic, and education level groups. After taking these factors into account:

LGBT adults are 1.7 times more likely than non-LGBT adults to not have had enough money to feed themselves or their family in the past year.
LGB adults aged 18-44 are 1.3 times more likely than their heterosexual counterparts to receive food stamps.
Same-sex couples are 1.7 times more likely than different-sex couples to receive food stamps.
LGB adults aged 18-44 raising children are 1.8 times more likely than their heterosexual counterparts to receive food stamps.
Same-sex couples raising children under age 18 are 2.1 times more likely than comparable different-sex couples to receive food stamps.
More than a third (34%) of LGBT-identified women did not have money for food in the last year compared to 20% of non-LGBT women and 24% of LGBT men.
An estimated 17% of female same-sex couples received food stamps compared with 10% of male same-sex couples and 9% of different sex couples.
While nearly 1 in 4 White LGBT adults (23%) experienced food insecurity at some point last year, the figure was more than 1 in 3 for African-American LGBT adults (37%), more than 1 in 2 for LGBT Native Americans (55%), and more than 3 in 4 for Native Hawaiians (78%).

Let me guess.....

Tax dollars paid for this "study" ?

Americans do not need food stamps , they need a free market economy . There would be so much wealth that any truly needy could rely on local charity easily .
