Well, anyway, "I HAVE THE SAME RESPECT FOR GAYS, WOMEN, AND MINORITIES AS I DO FOR MY RICH WHITE FRIENDS" My intent was misunderstood, but after all my posts it should have been clear that I was being sarcastic. We have talked in person and you know where I stand and I know your true intent on this forum. Happy posting.

Sorry, I still don't get what you're trying to do, or trying to say.
If it was truly "satire", it came off as ineffectual and mean.
To pigeon hole this into a partisan discussion is unproductive and immature, and shows little understanding to the greater societal issues involved.
You don't know me at all and don't pretend you do. I do have gay relatives and friends, and I do understand their concerns, and I also talk to them about the process of incrementalism, and how that is the way they will eventually get what they desire. I'm just not closed minded to the realities of life as some are in their impatience.
I am not against "gay marriage"; it's just that I don't think the concerns of the heterosexual majority on this topic can only be seen as prejudicial.
There's a way to talk about this without condemning everyone you disagree with, or rather, don't understand.
