Poll: How Gays Are Described Influences Support For DADT Repeal

Any poll is like this--rephrase the question and it changes dramatically. That's why when you hear polling data you need to actually see what the question was, how was it framed, who was asked etc. The results are used too many times to then make people say oh wow everyone else thinks that.

So, about 13% or so of the country thinks that gays and lesbians are not homosexuals.

Wow. Just, wow.

I went to college 35 years ago, and I knew I was living with gays and lesbians. Today's college freshpeople could not give a tinker's damn about the sexual orientation of those around them.

The real question that surveys should ask is: Should those who support leaders (such as Sara Palin) who favor secession from the United States and thus the destruction of its Constitution be allowed to serve inn the military?

Don't tell anyone, but the miliary really NEEDs some more gay influence.

Try something next time you are at a Democratic convention; walk from caucus to caucus and poll them for their IQ's.

Guess which of the regular groups has the highest?

Gratuitous, uncontrolled "sex", in any form, is anathema to the process of organization. Assuming that gay sex is any more destructive to the process than hetero obsessions is ignoring the blindness of our organs.

People are stupid.

You beat me to it robcat. At least 20%? You're too kind--I at least a third would answer 'no'. A great follow up question would be whether confirmed pedestrians should be allowed to teach in public schools.

I'm betting that they just don't know what "homosexual" means. Heck, one of their congressfolk didn't know what "hermaphrodite" meant.

Since "homosexual" has 5 syllables, and the limit of a significant portion of the population extends to 2 at the outside, the probably just felt whatever "homosexuals" were, with such a long word, they must be "elite."
