Ms. Hassleback, who usually is pretty conservative on many political issues.

Let's face it, when it comes to human sexuality, the Pope is out to lunch!

Every single one of them were, on this topic, intelligent, thoughtful and fair.

If they are a reflection of popular thought, there's been a serious earthquake in terms of how Americans are now looking at gay marriage and homosexuality.

Even Sherri was in on it. And remember, there was a time when she thought that penguin book was 'inappropriate'. Nice to see she's rethought how she thinks about gay people and relationships.

Seriously encouraging.

I also think they see how much of an open mind Barbara Walters has had over the years on issues, and they somewhat like to emulate her openness.

Aside from that, of course, gay marriage threatens no one, and that's perfectly obvious to any rational thinker.
