Good people of DU. Go vote in the MSNBC poll about the Supreme Court ruling today in California!

[flpoljunkie]

The vote is close and I know my fellow DUers believe in civil rights--because this is what this issue is about--equal treatment under the law.

I can not believe 49% of idiots voted "Don't think so". Sometimes I get disgusted with humanity.

11. Those numbers at MSNBC just don't seem right.

I don't think it is reflective of the general population. I will head off to the LA Times poll. Thanks for making me feel a bit better!!

16. It's pretty certain all the wingnut sites are telling their sheeple to go vote for bigotry

39. Considering it's an MSNBC, it's probably Pat Buchanan

He's sitting there in the MSNBC studio, furiously clicking his mouse, convinced that civilization itself will end if the sodomites are allowed to get married. :scared:

Aw, poor deluded homophobic Pat :(

As a gay boy I am so excited about this ruling! My friends are texting me. Including one couple that has been together for 5 years! If they'd ever bring the law to NC so we could get married here.... SOMEDAY!


Oh wow this is such a great moment. I fighting back tears. I just found out. I had written it off as even a POSSIBLE outcome. I didn't even think about it or check into it because I didn't think it was possible.

31. I'm amazed this poll is at 49/49 .........

That means that 49% of respondents probably also do a good deal of mouth breathing while walking on their knuckles.

What the fuck is WRONG with people????

[JackBeck]

32. Their own relationships probably suck.

Which makes it easier to hate people who are trying to achieve the same rights that they take for granted.
