Dec. 18th, 2003 10:52 pmAnd now for something completely different: in the "American Family Association"'s poll which they intend to present to Congress to demonstrate the numeric force of their right-wing, fundamentalist Christian extremist viewpoint regarding homosexual marriage now shows opposing legalization to be the minority position, with 46.76% of the vote, leading those in favour of legalization by less than a percent (45.82%), with the balance of respondants (7.42%) favouring some sort of recognized civil union short of marriage.
Considering that when i first saw this poll on Monday, nearly 98 percent opposed gay marriage; those of us who feel that the government has no right in legislating with whom we choose to partner, and that there's no reason why any union of consenting adults should be prohibited have certainly let at least one group of bigots hear our voice. At this point, their margin in their own publically unannounced poll is less than that by which George W. Bush lost the last election's popular vote. Kinda makes you want to rename the Moral Majority the Immoral Minority now, doesn't it?
Edit: As of 8:21 a.m. Friday morning, the plurality opinion, by a margin of 46.94-45.34% is in favour of legalization. Bwhahaha!
