Yeah, right. Having many people homeless, kids without school lunch or head start, poor people get stuck from moving into Section 8 Housing because of the sequester. CEOs making 400 and 500 times the average wages of their employees.

Not to mention misery all over the globe, and you think that gay marriage is causing the "moral compass" to disintegrate? Whose moral compass? By what criteria?

Gay people do not harm anyone. The policy of the Republicans, and the hypocrisy of many clerics have.

1. Oh, let them have their last little bit of people listening to their opinion on this.

They'll go the way of the dinosaurs soon enough.

3. From the article

With a slight quaver, he added that he and Ceil have a son who is gay. He lives in New York and they speak occasionally, he said. Yet that distance, as emotional as it is physical, has a further component.

“He also told us he’s an atheist,” Ceil said, then sighed deeply. “That’s what hurt.”


And this surprises them?

Not sure how old the O'Neills are but, apparently they have no recollection of when it was said that electing a president of their religious persuasion would be the downfall of the country.

4. also from article

Their concerns aren’t so much political as cultural. Mel Schommer, Ceil’s husband, regrets how language is growing devalued, noting how “love” is used so casually these days. “People say they love their cat or love their dog,” he said. “The word ‘love’ has lost its meaning.”

These people apparently don't know the meaning of the word "love". I certainly love my pets. What cold, cold excuses for humans.

5. Exactly!

They didn't love their pets when they were kids? Is love supposed to be measured out in coffee spoons?
