A recent poll by Rasmussen on the strong support for Chick-fil-A is the focus on this piece from Red Alert Politics. Not surprisingly, support for Chick-fil-A is strong. Dan Cathy’s comments in support of traditional marriage did not have the negative effect that gay activists were hoping for.
Over the past 14 years American voters have been taking a stand at the ballot box. In 1998, Alaska passed Joint Resolution 42 with 68% approval stating that “a marriage may only exist between one man and one woman.” In the years following Alaska’s lead, voters in 29 other states have passed constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage. This year Washington State, Minnesota, and Maryland have gotten enough signatures and will be voting on whether or not to uphold traditional marriage.
According to the Los Angeles Times, proposed changes in the Democratic Party’s platform supporting same-sex marriage actually go beyond the marriage debate.
