    No, it isn’t. You responded to a comment about conversion and are making it sound like conversion was successful.

      I think they were saying conversion may seem successful to some because of how the numbers look.

      No, I said thats how the census views it. All the census is, is a collection of numbers without context. 1990s, not that many recorded gay people. Key word RECORDED. Today, much higher. Therefore the census sees a jump. The conservatives tried playing this off as a scare tactic, as “THERES MORE GAY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!!! AHHHHH!!!”

      And I said my response was

      “Yeah? And?”
