Public Opinion Supports Anti-Gay Florida Teacher: Surprised? [INFOGRAPHIC]

Last week, we asked SodaHeads if they thought Jerry Buell, a well-liked Florida teacher, should have been suspended for posting anti-gay remarks on his Facebook.

For those of you who missed out on the original story, here's an excerpt:

Buell was Teacher of the Year at Mount Dora High School in Lake County, Florida. But now he's been reassigned pending an investigation into whether saying he "almost threw up" at the thought of same-sex marriage -- which he calls a sin -- on Facebook violates the district's code of conduct.

Buell argues that the posts were made on his own computer on his personal time, and that it "wasn't out of hatred. It was about the way I interpret things," according to The Orlando Sentinel.

Florida school districts have adopted social media policies designed to address these thorny issues, stressing that "employees should remain professional in using the communication at all times."

SodaHeads responded en masse and decided Buell's Facebook page is his own business -- he should not be suspended for his statements.

But wouldn't it be great to see just who's voting for what? Were homosexuals more likely to oppose Buell? What are they saying in merry old England? How does religion correlate with the issue?

Luckily, SodaHead is equipped to find out. So let's dive deeper and see what we find.

The British don't seem to understand what individual liberty is all about. We fought a war with them over this issue, if memory serves.

Atheists, Democrats, and gays are voting their judgment of the content of Buell's speech, with no regard for his rights as an individual. This "results-oriented politics" brought us Obama, and threatens to bring us to a blood-and-flames civil war.

Not really.
Because NO ONE CHOOSES TO BE FRIGGIN' GAY.

Keep believeing that and you'll still be the minority like gays. Why is it all of a sudden they are comming out of the woodwork. Choice. You choose to be a swishy pants.

reply
Lolaita to nolibsp... 2011/09/05 14:33:10

Or no, how about growing acceptance and since there is no longer a death penalty hanging around for being gay, people feel safer so more people come out.
I also read an interesting theory about how evolution is helping along whatever mutation makes you gay now more than ever because the increase in gays could be a response from nature trying to deal with overpopulation.
So, it's probably a mix of both.

Everybody's is. I think it's hilarious how perfect you think you are when you admit to beating your kids. If you need some old book to teach you right from wrong then your morals are off. There's nothing I can do about being gay but you choose to be an a--.

nolibsp... to JohnG 2011/08/30 16:37:40

Spare the rod spoil the child. Worked for eon's until you guys and gals of the gay community starting using the rod for a turn on. The good book is a guide to help me cope with morality issues that have plague this country and other issues of liberalism. There is something you can do about being gay. Read that old book.

Well got to try something. When I was a tad younger we use to run them out of town. But got to the point where these swishies could really make tracts. Now of course the gov put the plug in all that fun. We can only laugh at em'.

No bashing is violence. Did'nt say that although some of the guys got pretty ruff at times. But me I just like yelling, screamin, and running em' off. Poor little swishy pants. Almost felt sorry for em'.

Well I'm no longer allowed to call the Qu**r, or Fa@, or other proper label put on the blight of the world. So it they wiggle when they walk trying to drum up victims for their sinful acts. So why not.

And YOU represent yourself as God loving? The sad thing is your children are probably being abused because being cruel to others seems to 'turn you on'. I imagine you find great joy and comfort in not 'sparing the rod'. Beating as a form of discipline is now considered child abuse. Psycologists believe that people like you who hate and abuse gays do so because they themselves have underlying, deeply repressed homosexual urges. You hate them on a conscious level because you are afraid on a subconscious level, that you ARE one of them.

It's not 'your' nation, it's every Americans. I don't know where you get off thinking that you can try to divide this country further by promoting the abuse of your fellow Americans. You are a traitor to this country.
You disgust me, and you should be reported for child abuse.

It is my nation. My family has been here fifteen minutes before the pilgrims both sides. We have fought and died to build the nation. We have supported the moral values, and family since day one. Your side a destructive force of lowlifes that breed like a virus on our nation. You are the traitor, and actually should'nt be allowed to spread your filith. I'm not dividing but you certainly are.

Lolaita to nolibsp... 2011/09/05 14:38:54

And so has mine! My father served 8 years in the Marines and his father served one hell of a long time in the Navy. And his father before that served in the military. My family has fought to make this place safe, just like anyone else.

And 'my side'? Trying to spread equality is now being a traitor... whodathunk?
