I could blog several posts a day about the monumental stupidity of Pink News, Pink Paper and Gay Star News, but you'd die of boredom.
But today there was a serious contribution to the retardification of gay life.
Pink News published this crap; "A ComRes poll commissioned by Catholic Voices has found that 70
percent of two thousand people agreed marriage should only be available
to a man and a woman.
70 percent of respondents in the poll released today agreed with the
statement: “Marriage should continue to be defined as a life-long
exclusive commitment between a man and a woman.”"
Without comment or critique!
If you want to find out if people support gay marriage, then you ask them a question as simple and direct as "Do you agree that gay couples should be allowed to get married?"
Shame on you Stephen Gray - being a journalist means more than just typing "gay" into Google News and cut-and-pasting whatever comes up, you know.
For the billionth time - there is no fucking point to the gay media if they just reprint homophobic lies.
FFS!
Update: Huffinton Post explain how Catholic Voices manipulated the poll.
Update2: The following day Pink News ran a piece by Balajai Ravichandran questioning the poll. Presumably they were shamed into this by negative reaction to their original idiotic piece.
At least Pink Paper said other polls don't support this loaded question garbage
