Alex’s Team Pick: Fox News’ Prop 8 Poll Needs Your Queer Voice (says us)

Posted bya;ex

on August 4, 2010

Ahh Fox News and their polls. Let's use our POWER OF THE INTERNET to really make our voices heard. Go here and vote "yes" (or really vote however you'd like, but I'm assuming you'll pick 'yes'?) Here's the poll:

Did Judge Make Right Call In Gay Marriage Case?

Yes -- Prop. 8 violates the Constitution.

No -- Marriage is an institution between a man and a woman. I don't care what the judge thinks about the Constitution.

I'm not sure but shouldn't the voters views count for something?

Or other (you know, incase you have SOME OTHER opinion about something?)

I wouldn't be surprised if they skew the results in some way if we actually pull through with our opinion. But it's worth it to me.

Do you know of any other polls various media sites are taking? Share it with the class so we can queer those up too!

Done and done.
CNN has a poll. They ask: Does a ban on same-sex marriage violate the U.S. Constitution?

    There’s this one too, from the Washington Post: http://tinyurl.com/postprop8
    Do you agree with court’s ruling to overturn gay marriage ban?
    81% – yes
    Are opinion polls mostly a thing of the past? I checked a bunch of general news sites and there weren’t too many. I was surprised.

http://www.cnn.com/ – far right, in the middle of the page
73% say it’s unconstitutional, it was 50% when I voted over at Fox…

  The question on CNN International is: “Does the BlackBerry Torch pose a threat to the iPhone?”
  MUCH MORE PRESSING ISSUE

    I got “Should corporal punishment in schools be forbidden by law?”
    And so far it’s 54% “No”. What the fuck.

I’m an overachiever and I voted on every one of them. Also, we are winning every single one, even the Fox news poll. Yay scissoring!

I went to the Fox News site. I voted. And now I feel like I need to take a long scalding hot shower or bathe in rubbing alcohol or something. Ugh, Fox News.
However, it’s at 74% say unconstitutional, which kind of blew my mind a little.
