    We just want to live god-fearing lives and raise good families.

    And the main difference between us is that I don’t really care if you do that, while your friends will label my future family with two dads as a gross perversion that calls for state intervention in order to prevent the terrible abuse of a child having two loving parents that happen to both be men, as if it’s not abusive to raise a child under the terror of thinking that they’re always being watched and will be tortured for all eternity if they wind up being attracted to the same gender. But ultimately, that’s your life and I’ll leave you to it. I’d just ask for the same courtesy.

      Well said. Personally I lost respect at “god-fearing.” What a silly notion. To feel the need to express it to strangers is also silly. Don’t talk about your religion unless I ask. We’re all the same until you make us different. And all the other beliefs were pretty unpleasant, so we’d still be different. Oh well.
