Neither am I, and there are gay members of this list who know me and
know that I am not. My being against government marriage is of the same
philosophy that makes me against government stem cell research. As
anybody here who knows me (and that is a significant number) I am the
absolutely LAST person anyone would accuse of being against stem cell
research in general (or any kind of research or technological
development) and I EXTREMELY resent that a few here with statist
agendas would try to claim otherwise. Just as I am not anti-research, I
am also not anti-gay. Get it through your thick, addled, welfare
addicted heads: I hate that you want to parasitize on government and
the taxpayer. I certainly don't hate you or your gayness, or you or
your stem-cell research. Do you people get it yet?
