		<description><![CDATA[Study calls gay wealth stereotype into question.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No need to turn 365 into a playground where Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is bullied; however, I thought of him today after reading the study by the <a href="http://www.law.ucla.edu/williamsinstitute/home.html"><strong>Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law</strong></a>. &#8220;Poverty in the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Community&#8221; called into question the whole gay wealth mythology and noted &#8220;after adjusting for a range of family characteristics that help explain poverty, gay and lesbian couple families are significantly more likely to be poor than are heterosexual married couple families.&#8221;</p>
<p>This contradicts a theory Scalia posited in a  strongly worded dissent in <a href="http://www.lambdalegal.org/our-work/in-court/cases/romer-v-evans.html"><strong>Romer v. Evans</strong></a>, a Supreme Court decision that struck down Colorado&#8217;s anti-gay initiative. <a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/94-1039.ZD.html"><strong>According</strong></a> to the associate justice gays and lesbians &#8220;have high disposable income&#8221; and &#8220;possess  political power much greater than their numbers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Not sure if the work by the Williams Institute will have any impact on Scalia&#8217;s thinking. I tend to doubt it.</p>
