Gay Marriage Poll Gets Annulled
This is both a funny story and a demonstration of the power of blogs
Gay Marriage Poll Gets Annulled | Wired.com
“When the American Family Association posted an online poll last month asking its constituents their position on gay marriage, it thought it was engaging in a straightforward exercise…soon, people like Gabe Anderson began posting it to blogs, social-networking sites such as Friendster and sundry e-mail lists. When Anderson posted it to his blog on Dec. 18, 2003, the anti-gay-marriage position was leading, with 51.45 percent of respondents opposing gay marriage or civil unions. But with his posting, in which he alerted his readers to the poll, Anderson — and many like him — began to unleash the democratic power that the Internet promises, and which organizations like the AFA must have forgotten: the ability to bring people together to fight for, or against, a cause. “
Gay marriage is a sin. 1 Romans 26, 27. GOD’S WORD STATES THAT PLAIN AS DAY! IT DOES NOT REQUIRE INTERPRETING, IT IS STATED CLEARLY.
This is not my law, it is not american law. IT IS GODS LAW. People can choose to deny it all they want. THERE IS A GOD AND HE CAN SEE US ALL.
I support THE PRESIDENT ALL THE WAY ON THIS ISSUE. I WILL DEFINITELY VOTE FOR WHOMEVER IS AGAINST THIS SINFUL ACT! THE DEVIL WILL NOT PREVAIL ON THIS ONE.
Not everyone believes in the narrow minded vision of God that the above indivuals have – we live in a Democracy that is supposedly allows freedom of religion – why should the laws of the country reflect laws of one specific faith. Maybe you should follow your faith and allow others to do the same
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”
I am a resonably conservative University student, and from what I have observed, an overwhelming majority of the students at my university are in support of gay marriage. While this may not be surprising, I did find it surprising that in a recent Campus Republican sponsored event I attended, I found that even the largely Republican, and so I assumed conservative, audience was also in favor of gay marriage. If you’re interested in this debate the full account of it can be found on my blog.

I, Don’t think people understand the seriousness of this matter
We as of today do not know what causes people to be gay …If its a problem
in the brain or just plain being a rebel ..maybe it’s not a problem at all
. …Until we find out what causes gayness “we don’t need to legalize it”
What will those “seriose (did you mean serious??) repercussions on our lives” be???? Get the hell out of my bedroom, my life, my religion, I’m not in yours. All people and groups or people using god or religion to champion their homophobia, biogtry, and xenophobia share much in common with the men who flew those planes into our beloved towers. Just a note to one of the comments above which suggested that gay marriage signals the end of time, the apocolypse; I think it certainly does signal the end of YOUR times, the end of bigotry, the end of narrow-minded heteronormatlity! If you don’t like extending equal rights (EQUAL! NOT SPECIAL!!) to all citizens, LEAVE, go to Saudi Arabia, I’m sure you’ll have much in common with your fellow zealots there.
Great post Basil! It brought a huge smile to my face.
I’m a lesbian mother at the age of 26 with 2 children 11&12 and in a beautiful relationship of 4 yrs.My children are straight A’s students in school and love the person I’m with. They see me happy and anything that I would want in this world is for them to see me walk down the isle and see me marry the one I love. They ask all the time when will that day be?
