I wouldn't give a nasty response. You wouldn't deserve it and I wouldn't do it. shouldn't have typed what I did. was set off by something (that happens to me about once/year) and unfortunately took it out on here, as that subject is something I totally disagree with. I do think that changing marriage is morally wrong, but everyone has their own choices and decisions. Marriage was set up over a couple of thousands of years ago and per my opinion should stay that way. Civil unions.... totally different story.
I will say this, I'm not one for violence (would be one of the first to speak out against it, as there are better and correct ways to do things) and that would be verified by anyone that knows me, I'm one of the most easy-going people that can get along with anyone.... always have been, always will be... or at least I'm always going to try to.
I sent this to you, as you deserve a reply to your message to me, instead of posting on the forum. If you want to copy it and put it there, go right ahead, or if you'd like me to, I'll be happy to.

thank you for your reply, I respect your opinion.
I dont really care about the word marriage, civil unions are fine. as long as I'm offered the same liberties as all of my fellow Americans. This country needs complete equality, no more seperate but equal.
Also, people are so concerned with keeping the word "marriage" morally safe.... yet atheists get married all the time, marriages are more likely to end up in divorce than stay together, and married individuals cheat on their other half left and right! looks like the word marriage has lost its meaning a long time ago. But I respect people who feel otherwise.
Its your call if you want to post your PM... Though it may be a good idea because it I think there were a few people who were really offended by your posts yesterday.
Take care!

As I respect your opinion, as always.

Well, if we're going to take it to a public forum, I'll say exactly what I said earlier. Plenty of people will disagree, but nobody here is going to hate you just because you disagree with gay marriage...lots of people do, and lots of people still get respect.
What most people don't disagree with though, is that being anti-gay marriage is possible without wanting to see gay people get killed. One, I vehemently disagree with. The other, I'm disgusted by, and I can explain further if need be, but this $hit doesn't happen in a vacuum. Talk about killing gay folks makes climates possible in which people can actually kill gay folks and not feel alone, much in the same way that rape jokes do nothing but enable rapists to feel like they're not alone.
And anyone who wants to can call me a femmy oversensitive queen all they want to for this. But at least I'm not a hateful, bigoted as$hole, and I'll take that any day.
Some things you just don't get to take back.
Epic fail.
