Below is my first draft attempt at two simple public surveys, one on the subject of MAPs and one on the subject of language.
The objective of the first is to get a snapshot of what people think about MAPs and the second is to help work out a name we could use instead of MAP.

They would be run widely over a number of months. I would hope to collect at least a few thousand responses and them present the results in tables and charts along with statements included. Along with the findings I would propose defining what we want to achieve as public opinion/perception of our sexuality and a series of actions that can and will be taken to shift opinion in that direction. Basic brand building based on data. Then every 12 month run the same survey and measure if the needle is moving and how to adjust to maintain progress.

I'm happy to run the survey and compile the results, I can hardly make a post about progressive action and then sit back and wait. But I welcome feedback on the proposed questions. The survey shouldn't be long otherwise no one will complete it but it should collect sufficient data to be of value. We can add to this as we go with individual questions thrown out to social media but to begin I'd like to start measuring how different demographics perceive us differently.

Note: I think a survey like this can bring value but it is quite long and I think would be completed by people who like long surveys which I don't. It's actually long because the first few questions are about working out demographics. So another way to do this would be to create single questions and send them out using social media and their demographic targeting engines. So rather than ask someone their demographic, show the questions only to a demographic. Do this to a few demographics, cross-compile the results and get more data. I think both long form and single questions bring value.
