"Vehement"? Now who is putting words in others mouths? I said you made
an implication. Where did I say or imply you are "vehemently" opposed? I
had the impression you were opposed, and due to your uncomfortable
feeling that you may very well vote against using the word marriage for
gay unions. I didn't write or imply that you were vehemently opposed.

Yes or no question: would you vote against legislation or amendments
which would ban using the word "marriage" to refer to gay unions?
