Don, what are you sorry for? You're entitled to your opinion and there's a lot you said that resonates with they way I feel.
I'm not on the fence when it comes to marriage - for me the issue is cut and dry.
But I'm not really sure how to view homosexuality. I don't consider myself a deeply religious person, but I at least try to examine the secular moral implications. Over the years, I've decided many people don't have a
moral issue with it - it is usually, upon further reflection, an
aesthetic judgement - "Oh, two gay guys - GROSS!" To many, homosexuality is reduced to the sexual act of sodomy - and while that doesn't float my boat
I'm sure there's more to gay people than their sexual practices.
But - I'll paraphrase from
National Review editor (and my former college English prof) Jeffrey Hart - homosexuality is an "unfortunate condition" as it is less than the perfect ideal of heterosexual union.
I hope I didn't open up a can of worms here, I was just wondering how this was being discussed up in Mass.
