Abstract

An article on Sept. 8 about a bar in Queens that set off a conflict in its immigrant community when it raffled off a free same-sex wedding reception referred imprecisely to a statistic taken from The National Herald, which posed the question ''Do you approve of gay marriage?'' to its Greek-American readers. While 86 percent said they did not approve, that figure was based on about 1,000 readers who chose to answer the question when it was posted on the paper's Web site; the figure was not arrived at through a scientific ''poll'' in which The National Herald contacted readers. The article also misidentified the location of a nearby hardware store, whose owner said he resented such a public promotion of same-sex marriage. The hardware store, owned by Larry Yang, is a few doors away from the bar on the same side of the street, not ''next door.'' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
