Residents of 27 states that passed laws banning gay marriages boasted 11% more porn subscribers than states that don't explicitly restrict gay marriage.

Well its definitely not all of them, unless I'm not conservative? ugh I don't know anymore, I'm definitely not liberal, and i'm definitely more on the conservative side, and I definitely don't buy porn and don't even look at the free stuff, so am I just an anomaly?

I HATE hypocrites !!
It's funny because from what I often see around the net, conservatives, religious people and republicans seem to be the most hypocritical.

Remember, nothing applies to every person in a particular group. Or maybe you're just a cool conservative. : )

Everyone is hypocritical. Some things are more noticeable and public than others.

The biggest consumer, Utah, averaged 5.47 adult content subscriptions per 1000 home broadband users; Montana bought the least with 1.92 per 1000. "The differences here are not so stark," Edelman says.

The state with the least amount of drinking and smoking by far (due to the 60% Mormon population), needs to live the "balanced" life with an alternative vice

I don't know, I don't really think i'm socially liberal at all, but I don't know, I'm just me, and hell, I'm probably a hypocrite when I say this, but I don't like labels at all, especially describing a group of people under a label. i dont know

I know, but I'm pretty sure this is more or less a little thing in comparison to other things. and I'm saying, a lotta people are hypocritical not only about little things, and its all in perspective if you think about it.

Dunno why anyone would have to admit to watching porn, really. There's nothing wrong with it. It's human nature to be curious. But hey, it's also educational! I wouldn't have learned as many...uh, 'do's and don'ts without watching. Lol

Yes, everything needs to be in perspective. But, the thing that makes noteworthy is its relation to LGBTs. When we get attacked (by red state conservatives, mostly) for being anti-family, morally corrupt, unpure and other similar themes, it's always wonderful--and helpful--to find hyprocrisy in their actions.

hahaha i find this really funny

but aren't we kind of being hypocritical? we are holding them to this standard and poking fun at them for looking at porn, but don't most of us here do that?
Whats the point of calling them out on it? its only going to make them more defensive about the whole subject :\
