That's right. They should.

By the way, freda, there are plenty of things that don't affect me which are still significant issues to me, I can assure you. However, the gay marriage controversy just doesn't interest me much.

Still, I keep dropping in on this thread anyway... :-)

And here's something ironical. It is my opinion that the people who most oppose gay marriage are in fact totally unaffected in any material or substantial sense by gay people getting married! Yet they care greatly about this issue. In fact, they are emotionally obsessed with it.

The last thing in the world they are willing to do, it seems, is live and let live.

People who want to force everyone else to be like them are a curse upon the World.
