1. Wording of a Question The Supreme Court of the United States released a ruling on same-sex marriage in June 2015. Prior to the release of this ruling, many agencies conducted polls about same-sex marriage. In April 2015, a Quinnipiac University poll asked two questions about businesses and services to gays and lesbians. Here are the two questions: Do you think businesses should or should not be allowed to refuse services to gays and lesbians? What if the business says homosexuality violates its owners' religious beliefs? In that case, do you think the business should or should not be allowed to refuse services to gays and lesbians? (1) Discuss on the wording of EACH of these questions. Are they good or bad questions? What kind of bias can they possibly lead to? (2) One of these questions drew 35% saying the businesses should be allowed to refuse services; the other drew 26% with the same response. Which wording produced the higher percentage? Why? 1.
