A survey worth sharing
The Washington Post and ABC News conducted another of their nationwide polls over the last week and they have released the results along with the results of polls conducted in the past that had the same question included. It’s really interesting (and surprising) how opinions have changed over the years.
The two questions that I pulled out the synopsis are related to gays serving in the military. It appears that those who are against it are much more in the minority than I thought. They just seem to be rather vocal or to be getting much more news coverage than they deserve.
