As far as the poll goes, yeah you can't really trust online or Sun polls to be representative of the city at all. I would suspect the majority would be in favor.
As far as why not, I do think it's a little silly, as the Olympics are halfway around the world, I'm not sure it's really doing anything. In fact I'm sure it isn't. But I guess it does show the LGBT communities here that they are supported. On the other hand, it really doesn't take any effort at all, so why not.
As far as other causes I'm sure people are welcome to ask for support or bring up the issue. It's just that this has the attention right now and it's easily understood for many people. Causes and issues are like that when they break through that watershed mark.
