Grappling with the really tough questions this morning?
Isn't it sad that an article like this even gets attention?
Isn't it OBVIOUS why SAME sex marriage is different than an INETERACIAL marriage?
Could it be that SAME sex has the SAME sex parts and don't fit well together whereas DIFFERNT PARTS fit like a hand in a glove regardless of race?
It's tough to have to bolts fit TOGETHER whereas a nut and bolt together work TOGETHER just fine.
"Grappling with the really tough questions this morning?"

See the tagline.
