Qwerty, this thread wasn't intended to re-open the never-ending debate on the morality of homosexuality or whether homosexuals can change, etc.

My point in starting this thread was simply to address a separate issue, i.e., whether it is misleading to viewers (especially children) for CBS to describe two males as being "married" to eachother when no state in the U.S. recognizes "marriage" between two men. Being that the terms "married" and "marriage" are legal terms, and that no one is "married" unless the law recognizes them as such, I see no justification--only a transparent political motive--for CBS's use of the "married" term to describe Reichen and Chip.

As for your personal sexuality, I'm perfectly comfortable leaving that topic alone. It's frankly no one's business, and I don't really care enough to know about it anyway.

You're right. Maybe you'd want to address this post to other people who took it off on a tangent, like the poster I was responding to... markcowboy. Or do you consider his post on topic?
