I think that in a discussion between Injest, louisev, and myself, I am the person most likely to benefit from same sex marriage, so your question as it pertains to me is IMO a bit of a waste of both pixels and eye scan time.

you do really need to stop making bald assumptions that you understand the biography and know the sexual preference of everybody you discuss things with here Brokeplex. And also the assumption that somehow there were only three parties to this discussion when there are more. And it is a fair question - you appear to be arguing against the "PC crowd" who are agitating for the rights of GLBT to marry, so I am asking the clarifying question instead of descending into a maelstrom of meta.

I don't believe I have much grace, and let's be honest about this. If "Perez" hadn't said someting, somoene else would have.
Gay marriage is a hot button issue, and she would've gotten a lot of press, whether or not Perez was involved.
She may be a bigot, but she's not stupid.....she knew that if she said her opionion, it would be unpopular, otherwise she woulnd't have thought to say "no offense"......you only say that when you know you're going to offend people.

Frankly, I think Miss CA with her brandy-new chicken cutlets was stunned that her anti-gay-marriage stance didn't push her over the top, because most of the members of the Americans for Opposite Marriage really think they are defending something and that the straights are desperately grateful to them for standing up for their rights to not have to watch gay people get married.

no if Perez had controlled himself there would be no story. It is HIS promotion of his rant that started the entire thing. He lit the fire.
