Majority of Americans are now in favor of Gay Marriage
« on: April 20, 2011, 10:25:56 AM »
Great article.  The CNN poll that came out today is the 4th poll in the past 8 months to show an outright majority of Americans in favor of legalizing gay marriage.

 Soph posted this too, and I asked him about the 2004 spikes in opinions in both camps. Didn't realize it was a poll of Americans.   :asthing:



 Also, is it just me, or does the shape on the graph look ever so slightly like, well, something else?  :zoinks:

There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.

I really do think this will make a difference. WEll, I hope so.

Politicians say that we dont have it cause the poeople dont want it. well, now the people want it.

let's hope it wasn't hyperbole

(im sure it was)


I remember voting in the Bush/Gore election, and the question was on the ballot. Then they said most Americans were opposed. Strange how much changes in a few years.
