Americans: Please express your opinion on Gay Marriage in this poll
The anti-gay bigotfest American Family Association is hosting a webpoll that they say they'll submit the results to the US Congress as part of their goal of eliminating the chance for gay marriage.
Please vote on the poll:
http://www.afa.net/petitions/marriagepoll.asp
(In the past 48 hours, the pro-gay marriage side went from a minute minority to a slight majority, and rising fast)

Hey, good for you.
It figures that the social science student clearly can't read the title of the thread.

They're too busy with their hands down their pants surfing gay porn in the dark. I'm looking at you, Stew.

I can read.
I just don't want this social decay to spread, because all bad ideas tend to go US to UK.

Social decay? Aren't you the ugly "big boned" British boy who drinks himself under the table every night?
Hardly a social butterfly.

I don't get it. What is so wrong in gay marriage? I'm under the impression that it does not hurt anybody.

It proves too tempting for the likes of Stew. They fear that if gays get equal rights as straights, it will lead to the "moral downfall" of society because now there's no reason for people like Stew to pretend to be straight anymore.
It's the slippery slope of doom. The sexuality they secretly pine for is now an option, and that scares them.

Of course, as every good statistician knows, web polls are utter crap.
...a point which I'm sure they'll bring up if the poll goes against them, and I'm equally sure they'll ignore if the vote goes with them.

That's nice. They split the "I'm in favor" side into two choices. I wonder how they'll treat that when presenting it.

Church shouldn't have nothing to do with the goverment, it's a private organisation, and goverment cannot force it to share it's services with the groups what it doesn't want to respect.
I'm not allowed to vote in that poll, but that doesn't mean that I couldn't spam in this thread, now does it?

Why care about the results of a self-selection poll? It isn't likely to give reliable results regardless of what the end numbers are.

I would have voted, but there's no way I'm giving out my e-mail address for a frigging poll. Plus, they have no "who cares?" option.

I'm all for gay marriage
I'm not American so I didn't vote.
And web-polls are indeed utter crap. Better have a real gallup poll on the issue to have an idea of what the Americans at large really think.

I'll vote FOR Gay marriage; but I doubt seriously that I would ever vote FOR Gay adoptions.
Sorry, that's the way it is.

This looks more like a publicity stunt for AFA. Right now it's loading so damn slow I'd swear I had a 9.6k dialup instead of a ethernet cable.
Plus e-mail addresses to pester the ungodly...

It's the "American Family Association". Meaning they don't give a **** what you 'other people' think, unless you agree with them.
btw, 300,000 hits since they started this poll at least...
