Dunno, Michael. Complicated innit. I hear your side.

To the substantive. I shall try for a third time to make my very reasonable point, in the hope that a moderator who clearly doesn't think that people outside the US should be heard on this issue will be satisfied at last. A court ruling cannot be the end of the matter. Court rulings do not change hearts and minds. Continuing open debate may help in that. That should include everyone with an interest in the topic, not just US citizens, until equality for gay people is achieved everywhere in the world. Good work, USA, but there's a big other world out there. Including a few backwoodsmen in Northern Ireland.
