Timing is everything, and in this case... the timing was way off! Now don't get me wrong, the following stats make it clear that homosexuals have a large impact business via money... however, the 2-to-3% aspect of the population make it hard to actually impact said businesses. What the below also shows (the stats are dated a bit... but make the point still) that the rights of the homosexual population are anything but trampled on. I've heard of "gay cruises," but never an "African-American Cruise."
