No. It doesn't.

See the difference? Honestly, when it comes to the government's meaning of 'marriage' - which again is essentially a civil contract - I don't care what it is called, but it should be the same name, and same benefits, for heterosexual and homosexual couples.

Not even close. You refuse to answer, but won't speculate as to why you refuse to answer as that would be unfair to you. I never said (or even implied) that there is no answer to that question without being a homophobic asshole. And, until we hear your answer, we won't know if that is how your answer sounds. You seem to use the word 'hate' pretty freely - and with increasing frequency lately. I have tried to be very careful in how I worded my responses and I don't really think a reasonable person would take away from any of those comments that I 'hate' someone who disagrees with me - on this subject or any other. Please show me where my comments were hateful. I think I have proven over the years that I am more than willing to admit when I have been wrong or crossed a line. If I crossed a line into hateful speech, please show me where. I admit that, over the years (and even very recently), I have often taken the low road and resorted to name calling and insults - to you, and a lot of others. I am trying to be a better person. Trying to understand not only an opposing position, but the rationale that brought someone to that position. So, if I have been 'hateful' please show where. -- Scott Stroz --------------- You can make things happen, you can watch things happen or you can wonder what the f*&k happened. - Cpt.
