Ignored is fine with me, especially by people who took that seriously.

Shouldn't you spare the pain of losing and just surrender now?

Nothing in legalizing gay marriage, even as it stands now, would require a church to marry gays if they didn't want to do so.
As long as the advocacy for marriage being applicable to all people regardless of sexual orientation is not backed up by compulsion, then you're right.

I oppose legalization of homosexual marriage and "civil unions" 36.76%
(173799 votes)

I favor legalization of homosexual marriage 54.92%
(259615 votes)

I favor a "civil union" with the full benefits of marriage except for the name 8.32%
(39342 votes)

I have no doubt the AFA will bury this poll and not present it to Congress at all.

Hey Asher, does your avatar have a second meaning to it on purpose or is that just a coincidence. Or is it a 'coincidence?'

This poll is biased, obviously. Most people dislike gay marriages and are thus pro-marriage.

Actually, I'd say they were anti-marriage, as they are against certain people marrying

Explain how it is biased? Because you are losing?
