Lakshmi.Jaerik said: Gay Marriage Opponents Now in Minority
"A poll from CNN this week is the latest to show a majority of Americans in favor of same-sex marriage, with 51 percent saying that marriages between gay and lesbian couples “should be recognized by the law as valid” and 47 percent opposed.
This is the fourth credible poll in the past eight months to show an outright majority of Americans in favor of gay marriage. That represents quite a lot of progress for supporters of same-sex marriage. Prior to last year, there had been just one survey — a Washington Post poll conducted in April 2009 — to show support for gay marriage as the plurality position, and none had shown it with a majority.
As we noted last August, support for gay marriage seems to have been increasing at an accelerated pace over the past couple of years. Below is an update to the graph from last year’s article, which charts the trend from all available public polls on same-sex marriage going back to 1988." That's awesome! <3

"One way to read the trends of the past few years is that we have passed an inflection point wherein it is no longer politically advantageous for candidates to oppose same-sex marriage, which in turn softens opposition to it among the general public, creating a sort of feedback loop and accelerating the trend."
Very interessttinnngg.
And Sele that was a crappy test!

Guys, dunno if you saw my post in other threads, but I'm in the process of generating new rules regarding forum content in order to get our site sponsorships back from Google and others.
"Cuntalope," while amusing, does not exactly help with this process.
I'd appreciate it if you would voluntarily tone it down a bit in advance of new official rules, so I don't have to be a jerk.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's just as inappropriate (if you even consider it inappropriate to begin with :P), but I'll gladly comply if such is necessary. :3

Just curious to see how many of us actually play FFXI. **Now, let's try to keep this clean, please don't respond if you have nothing nice to say.** :] Don't be shy, speak up! :D
EDIT: You don't have to be gay to post in here, if you want to be apart of our conversations.. feel free to join in! Don't be shy, we don't bite.. well some of us do! :] Anyyyyyways~! This thread has become a home to many from the LGBT community & even some from the straight community who are open minded and enjoy chit-chatting with us, :] so let's keep it drama free, we deserve a place where we can be ourselves without being made fun of/harassed.
