Oh I understand completely and I didn't mean to imply that it should be your personal concern. I think these things are part of this issue though and they have to be considered. It's fairly easy to disregard all the bible scripture being slung around because if you are not a member of any particular faith you are certainly not bound by their moral strictures. But 'acceptance' and 'comfort levels' are the 800 pound gorillas in the 'secular' room even if it's become politically incorrect to mention it - and these are the things that will determine people's decisions when they are facing a constitutional amendment against same sex marriage in the voting booth.

I am very sorry for your loss.
