Comments on Gay Marriage Overwhelmingly Approved in Utah

Victory is ours.

That's awesome.

And from elsewhere on that same site, another "murder" for Mudede to ponder:

This one doesn't involve a Christian pop star, though, so we'll see if he posts anything about it.

Hate to piss in your cheerios, but how much did we here contribute to swaying the results...?

I kinda feel like a republican to your Rush Limbaugh

It is supposed to be ridiculous. Yay for Utahns!

@3 A lot, and Slog wasn't the only site doing it either.

"hate to piss in your Cheerios" that's a new one. Myself, I like the expression (different use and context) "Don't piss in my face and tell me it's raining." Then again the expression "That went down like a turd in the punchbowl" has its charm.

@1 -- Yes, it is, and tomorrow I'm dragging you off in your McCall's pattern dress to my gay polygamist compound outside Moab where we'll get married.

For the rest of you -- and yes, even you, Mr. Poe -- I would posit that this is a reminder to the Utahans (Utahns? Utoids?) that they do not live in a world unconnected to the rest of society. The interwebs has largely eliminated the "luxury" of bigoted opinions existing unchallenged or, hee hee, unmolested. If they want to ask what the right answer is to gay marriage in their shitty little town, the world may very well come in and provide the answer.

Keep voting, people...let's go for 80-20!!! :-)

See you tomorrow, Poe. With wedding bells on.

I want to know what Eli thinks about this.

I am referring to the cheating, btw. Eli didn't like it when I did this to his polls. But is it okay now?

@Poe: Cheating is only wrong when its against Slog. Other than that it is not only accepted, but encouraged.

Mr. Poe - Please be aware that Eli did not post this thread. There's no telling what he thinks about it, and he's not accountable to express any opinion on it. I don't know what the dynamic is at The Stranger...maybe he doesn't like to publicly countermand his boss (I mean Savage, not the one with the, umm, enormous whozeewhatsit).

If Eli had danced on this thread then yes, we should ask him. But he did not, and may very well be anti-rigging, so let's leave poor Eli out of this, shall we?

You naughty boy...you shouldn't be posting anyway. You have a trousseau to pack...

I know Eli didn't post the thread, but Monique answered everything flawlessly with #10.

The only thing I'm packing today is heat.

@12 -- Not even a little fudge, too?

Stop being so surly. These people like you, god help them. You're our little friend.

I don't deserve fudge. And I love everyone here. Well...for politeness sake, everyone.

please don't love me poe. that would just be wrong.
and apropos of the "murder" @2, charles won't post about it because there's no race angle there. i despair that if savage didn't fire him over that libelous drivel, he's never gonna do it. sigh.

I cleared my cookies at least 50 times last night to vote yes yes yes yes!!! That was FUN!!!!

I'll wager that the capitalist owners of this particular online rag have come to appreciate how gay marriage benefits the bottom line.

It is complete speculation to make any kind of conclusion as to who voted in this poll, but the fact that Mormon opponents to gay marriage (who aren't really known for keeping their opinions to themselves) were not numerous or rabid enough squash the impact of readers of a gay-friendly Seattle blog is itself encouraging. And it isn't cheating to vote multiple times, or outside your domicile, in an online poll. That's like saying its cheating to vote twice for your favorite American Idol. Everyone, including the sponsors, knows these polls are unscientific. At best, they are an imprecise measure of the enthusiam that respondents have for their positions.

I voted no a bunch of times.

@10

You speak the truth... I've been barred from voting in any Stranger poll for months now for having done the same thing to the Stranger on some ridiculous poll about presidential candidates (or bicyclists?) I think. Now when I try to vote, even only once, I get:

"Stranger Polls

Hypocritical much?... Naw...

That asshole who kicked and sprayed painted a kitten should be fired by Comcast. His co-workers who let him do it, too.

Is that why Comcast got hacked?

Kitten hackers of the world untie!
