DU this poll on gay marriage- organized mass-freeping
Anti-Gay Activists and Internet Polls
Yesterday the Mass "Family" Institute, an anti-gay activist organization submitted their signatures to the State to put discrimination into the constitution. Apparently they submitted 170,000 to the clerks who certified 147,000 some odd signatures, they only have to have 66,000 (a feat that's pretty easy to accomplish since there are over 6,416,505 people in Mass)

The Boston Globe reported in its "breaking news" section of its online edition about the signatures. The Globe online also included a link to an "unscientific internet poll" on same sex marriage. You would expect that the MFI would be bathing in the glory of their 147,000 signatures, but no. The MFI sent out an email update to its subscribers to log on and vote YES in the poll. How pathetic. Do you think their afraid? I guess they don't feel secure enough with the way they got the signatures so they have to manipulate the online poll too. A last look the poll shows the NO vote was still leading.

7. Done.The Massachusetts Supreme Court has spoken on this issue.
If the highest court in the Commonwealth says that there is NO impediment for gay and lesbian couples to enjoy LEGAL marriage status...then case closed. Period. Finito. What is the fucking problem that these hatemomgers have about respecting the decision of the highest court in the Commonwealth?

11. 50.7% Yes, 49.3% No
Crimony, these are some obsessed people. Trying to shut down what the court has already let stand. How would these fanatic types like it if someone said they couldn't get married? Couldn't enjoy any of the hundreds of legal rights they take for granted? It's pitiful and sickening to think some people insist that their way have primacy instead of live and let live.
