And we are the number one “Gay” city….oh and number one in immigration!!! GO MINNESOTA!!!! Qua Passa Vikings….used to be Skoal Vikings….

You are…lacking something productive to do this morning.

The gay stat is per capita, we’re also #1 in murder per capita, very misleading stat

That is just sad. Gay couples can keep families together better than heteros in my opinion.

I honestly don’t believe your orientation matters. It all depends on the people in the household and how they choose to handle situations. Statistics show you only so much, remember that.

“State Demographer Tom Gillaspy says another family that became more common was couples living without children, which he called a byproduct of an aging population in which children grew up and move out.”

This story seems to be somewhat misleading. One would think that couples who have children who have already moved out would still be considered “traditional” families (i.e. part of the natural cycle of the traditional family).

The reality is Minnesota is losing population because that liberal progressive mentality that most people in this state think is always a good thing is making businesses leave Minnesota for greener pastures, most notable states with more favorable business laws and lower taxes like North Dakota, Yes it maybe boring and flat, except for the badlands, but the low taxes and low cost of living make it an ideal place to do business. Yes oil in the western part of the state helps too but the bottom line is low taxes bring more jobs. Minnesota is one of the highest taxed states in the union is it any wonder that we are losing jobs and as go the jobs so go the people.
