Brighten your day: Mess with bigots!

coffeeem posted this:

The American Family Association is doing a website poll in the hopes of determining that, yes, Americans hate homosexuals, and would go fifty miles out of their way to avoid shopping at a supermarket where the bag-filler-upper might be gay. (Hey, it's their fantasy, not mine; I'm just describing the outcome.)

So please, visit their poll page at http://www.afa.net/petitions/businesses/businesses.asp! Answer their question honestly! And yes, they ask for your mailing address and e-mail, but if you answer the way I did, I kind of doubt you'll be hearing from them anytime soon.

Right now the vote stands:

If a corporation supports the homosexual agenda [their words, not mine], you would:

Be more likely to do business with that company. 6,238
Be less likely to do business with that company. 188,722
It would not affect my buying decision. 3,946

Let's change that ratio!

Edited to add: It looks as though the poll has been taken down sometime today.

As coffeeem notes, pointing to this January 04 Wired article, these people are slow learners.

Doug Friauf has passed away

Minneapolis fans: mnstf notes that long time local fan Doug Friauf passed away this morning at 2:50 a.m.

I didn't know Doug well, but I've seen him at cons and Minn-stf meetings for years. I did see him at Minicon this year and felt shocked at how much he'd obviously gone downhill; still, I had no idea that this would happen so soon. I think Rob knew him much better than me, and he will be grieved to hear the news. We will miss seeing him around.
