Dear Barry,
Participation in America’s Poll on Homosexual Marriage at marriagepoll.com continues at a steady pace. As of noon Saturday, December 28, the results were as follows:
- I oppose legalization of homosexual marriage and “civil unions” total votes: 201914
- I favor legalization of homosexual marriage total votes: 378691
- I favor a “civil union” with the full benefits of marriage except for the name: 52238
If you have not already voted, click here to do so. Be sure to forward the poll on to your family and friends.
Only votes that have a valid email address associated with them will be counted. We will be purging those with invalid email addresses, which may cause poll results to change somewhat.
Sincerely,
Don
Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association
P.S. Please forward this email to at least one friend.
Clearly, Don and his pals are worried about their poll results so far. They’re dipping a second time into their mailing list, hoping that will turn out more anti-same-sex-marraige votes. They’re leaving an opening for them to change the poll results later, if they need to. And they’re no longer promising to send the results of their poll to Congress.
It’s a silly, meaningless poll, but it’s one that has the potential of embarassing the AFA, and that’s always good fun. I encourage all you folks to visit their site and vote (and use a valid email address – or three).
I would like to vote (to “favor legalization”), but I’m not an US citizen. There is no indication of such restriction in the form page, I guess they forgot that their website can be read outside the USA (or by foreign residents), and that an email address alone is no indication of the geographical location of the sender (it happens frequently with people not used to international communication).
Unless, of course it were a queer way to allow their own foreign supporters to vote (which would be somehow understandable).
Please forget the above comment. I was so eager to vote that I didn’t even see the “US State” and “ZIP/Postal Code” lines. The poll is unambiguously open only to American citizens, which is quite logical. Sorry about the embarrassing misreading.
I voted. Ohhh.. that was fun! :)

I’ll keep this one brief, though an hour long rant would not begin to cover the opinions on this issue that came up during my holiday gathering. the feeling of the assembled 25 gay and lesbian people (many of whom are in long term, strong committed relationships, only one couple has done the Canada thing and one is considering it if MA passes a law)–is that the whole debate about “gay marriage” is being driven by the VRWC, not from within our community. I tend to agree-it is one of the few issues that will rally the flagging Bush base if things continue to deteriorate in Iraq. the “new” repub party is the party of “god, guns and (anti)gays rather than the one that wspoused fiscal conservatism and limited govt-esp when it came to civil liberties.
oh, and that poll-I would consider that your demographics and email address will end up in the database of one of the scarier right wing christian orgs before you fill out that little form.
I suggested its truly big idea.
, :)Great content to find another.
