Steve,
I have mixed feelings about gay marriage, mostly from my religious beliefs. I have worked with and around gays all of my working life and found both the men and women to be just people for the most part. They have the same radical fringe that all groups have. Working in San Francisco a lot, I really got to know more abut them as 3 of every 4 people working there were gay. One of the best people I ever worked with was gay and a concert pianist. None of them ever made any attempts to bother me and I never said anything derogatory about them. Despite our completely different lifestyles and beliefs, we managed to co-exist and work together with no problems. I still can't quite go along with the gay marriage bit though and they already get every benefit that anyone else out here does. I am not condemning nor judging them. Just stating my personal experiences with them. Heck, in San Francisco it could be called normal for you to see a man dressed as a woman walking down the street. Yet up here in the remote wilderness, that would be far from normal.
