9. The study is absurd and homophobic, but I don't think it's "two-year long."
If I recall correctly, it is supposed to be completed by December.

4. I think this is great - but we didn't wait for
Racial minorities to win 'popularity contests'

6. The real question is why would anyone think they shouldn't?
This is one of the dumbest laws ever.
