This was not sufficiently clear? "I've always been a believer in people's rights to do what they want in their private lives as long as everyone involved is a consenting adult. That doesn't mean that I have to like it, or champion it. It just means that I have to allow it to happen. So me saying using the word "marriage" for gay unions makes me uncomfortable doesn't mean that I'd oppose it, and it doesn't mean that I'll never change my mind. " Do I need to join GLAAD and wear a pink triangle to satisfy you, Erik? Is it okay with you if I have to actually figure things out for myself, rather than take your word for it? What is your litmus test to determine when a person is respectful enough of others' beliefs to satisfy your standards?
