So what is normal for one place may not be for another. And no one person can make that determination it would seem.

Ron,
Interesting point. We seem to be approaching gay marriage on a regional basis. I have no problem with that, and it makes a certain amount of sense anyway. The states that lean towards allowing gays the same rights (marriage/civil unions) as heteros tend to be the more populated states. I think that the people in most of those states have learned how to mind their own business a bit better because their neighbour is often living just a few feet from them. They may have to deal with a huge variety of people on a daily basis that gays just might not be a big deal, or even something that ever concerns them.
