The American Family Association is having a 'tell American Businesses how you feel about corporations that support the "homosexual agenda". It's at http://www.afa.net/petitions/businesses/businesses.asp.

When I filled it out, the numbers were:

Be more likely to do business with that company. 1,019
Be less likely to do business with that company. 52,707
It would not affect my buying decision. 915

Again, though, the fact that their poll is so skewed, both in wording and in results, shows that their website is primarily designed for people who support their idiotic agenda.

It's not a scientific survey. If they ever use this information to push their agenda, we'll have to remember to laugh at them. Voting on it to try and skew it back towards sanity is fun, but is equally unscientific. And if they get a decent chunk of non-homophobic votes (say, around 20%), they can say "Look, even though they cared, they couldn't even rally enough people to defend their views! Clearly everyone supports our views!" If it were, say, a poll that was carefully worded, from a mostly non-biased source, I'd think about voting; but I give this particular survey about as much weight as the paper it's printed on, which is to say none.
