No, KB, I don't expect you to take that one sentence seriously. I expect you to realized it's someone venting some inner tension they're feeling at the time. It does not, however, invalidate the whole rest of GfS's post which is very thought-provoking. I don't see why one should throw the baby out the window because of a single blemish on its face... ;-) (if you see what I mean)


Amos - Yes, I agree with you that "Under the law a civil status should not be denied on the basis of plumbing or preferences for plumbing."

Fine. But that's not my concern here. Do you understand what does concern me about the present political situation in North America vis-a-vis same-sex marriage and the gay rights movement generally and how the media is handling it?

I think that if the aggressive zealots and extremists on BOTH sides of this issue would get off their raving little soapboxes and quit bitching at each other and accusing each other in the media that, yes, it would, as KB says, drop out of the news cycle permanently. And we could all then get on peacefully with our lives...gays and straights alike. I'd like that.
