It was a joke, son. And thank you for finally actually saying something relevant, with a minimum of insults. I would love to discuss these issues with you if you could bring yourself to engage in real back and forth and to talk about the issues instead of the people you're talking to. All my experience indicates that I don't have any reason to harbor any hopes of that in your case, however, other than the observation that folks do sometimes get better at communication.

Wanna give it a try? Here's the question: How do you reconcile a desire to protect and further the freedoms of individual American citizens with a desire for some of them to be treated differently when it comes to marriage and all the legal benefits that come with it? Any answer, just to avoid covering old ground, has to include the fact that it is unconstitutional for us to pass laws based on religion, the Constitution doesn't mention marriage, and it does guarantee us equal treatment under the law.
