I agree again, Will. And what people choose to do privately in sexual matters is IMO absolutely their own business and no-one else's. My husband and I know one gay couple, for example, two men, who have been together for years, love eachother devotedly and are excellent company. We had dinner with them just a few days ago, and enjoyed the evening very much. To have this nasty and condemnatory attitude towards such nice, kindly and gentle people is where the real 'wickedness' lies. We would be over the moon if marriage could be offered to our friends, and would attend the ceremony with great joy. The viciousness of these cruel posts reminds me somewhat of the same type of thing voiced during the struggles for racial equality in the West, and also women's rights. Looked at now, they seem almost primitive and very out-of-date.
