Gay couples at greater risk from climate change

UCLA study: Gay couples at greater risk from climate change
A new study out of UCLA says same-sex couples are at greater “risk of exposure to the adverse effects of climate change” than straight couples.
These effects include “wildfires, floods, smoke-filled skies, and drought,” according to a report from KQED.
Same-sex couples disproportionately live in coastal regions and cities, which are more vulnerable to such disasters. They’re also more likely “to live in areas with poor infrastructure, worse-built environments.”
Washington DC, which rates high for “climate risks” such as heat waves, floods, and “dangerously strong winds,” has the greatest proportion of gay couples in the U.S.
San Francisco ranks second, and also faces a high climate change risk. According to KQED report, the city’s Leather & LGBTQ Cultural District flooded 22 years ago, “swamping” the entire area. The closest supermarket, Rainbow Grocery, also got flooded.
Ari Shaw, director of International Programs at UCLA’s School of Law’s Williams Institute who specializes in “international human rights, LGBTI politics, and U.S. foreign policy,” noted the study “cuts against the narrative” that LGBT individuals “have access to all the resources that they need.”

Sounds like another good reason to stop being gay.

There has to be a list of pre-written templates for these headlines at this point. They all sound exactly the same.
"Research shows that <insert liberal cause/fear porn du jour> disproportionately affects people of color"

Translation - gay couples flock to overly crowded urban areas where people put housing on every available scrap of land.
That’s a zoning issue, not a climate change issue.

I believe it was George Will that mocked the political left for its use of the "academic study" in order to support its most irrational and illogical ideas. These "studies" are anything, but.
You dress-up an opinion, search for some semblance of supportive evidence, and then publish it is some social sciences journal...where it will be ostensibly be peer reviewed by like-minded ideologues. Then your favorite leftist politico can regurgitate the "studies have shown" BS to justify whatever stupidity they are advocating.

In other words, he has to invent things to do in his imaginary job.

So what the study says is that the coastal population centers are full of fruits and nuts while flyover country has fewer. I‘ll accept it.

Which means they are evolutionarily inferior to straight couples.

One of the two authors uses "they" pronouns:
The other author is a dude who used to work for the Soros Open Society Foundation.

Lindsay Mahowald is a Research Data Analyst at the Williams Institute. Their work involves the quantitative analysis of LGBTQI experiences...
They have singlehandedly managed a wide array of statistical analytics projects using existing data on LGBTQI Americans

They were the cause of a lot of problems in the Old Testament too.
