ADVOCATE POLL.

From the December 5 issue:

Have you thought of canceling your subscription to AOL because of the Cases' donation to Westminster?

[GRAPH OMITTED]

Reader cerements from www. advocate.com

* "I have already canceled my membership; I am now with EarthLink."

* The fact that Westminster happens to be owned by a church that has `ex-gay' ministries should not be at issue. Neither Mr. or Mrs, Case has ever said anything antigay. This `guilt by association treatment they have received is truly unfair."

* "America Online lost my account and my loyalty when they helped the Navy out a sailor. AOL has shown again and again that Case can't be trusted. Why give him money?"

* "If it were a corporate donation, it would reflect company policy. But this was not a corporate gift, Private donations are none of my business. All straights have to fund GLBT-approved causes?"

* "I'm recommending that my friends switch their subscriptions from AOL to a gay-friendly Internet service, After all, we have enough obstacles to overcome without financially supporting companies that enrich our enemies."
