Brandiewynne I think that sometimes people quote what they want to hear. If everyone lived by the bible-meaning every exact word--this would be a beautiful place. People tend to follow scriptues as it suits them. But it is just my opinion so please don't take...

Brandiewynne In my opinion the "old boy" network is still around. There are people who don't want this to go thru and will do antthing to stop it. Including not giving money to the politicians. I think that it will come down to one state at a time allowing the gay...
