I am seeing my nephews and nieces next weekend. I have been remiss with the few of them that believe in gay marriage. I just say nothing for fear of alienating them but it is my responsibility to let them know what I think. I will go with the statistics and facts. They don’t lie

I can identify with that. In 1997, we had a big family reunion in Stockton, CA. I met cousins I did not know I had. That is because they were from LA. I was from Grand Forks, ND, and was a hockey player and fan (go Blackhawks) I was in California, because my last 4 years of my 20 year USAF career, were spent at Travis AFB. When I retired, I went to work at San Quentin. They were big time pro gay. I was not. One of them said to me that it would hard to be friends if I did not become pro gay myself. I haven't spoken to any of them since 1997 (mostly their choice) I told my mom (her relatives) that I thought being born and raised in LA, must have warped their minds. Even she agreed with me.
