Don’t forget that God’s law and secular law are often times diametrically opposed.
Of course, both Joe as well as Beau and all of us will be judged by the former while secular law will be to no avail in the final end.
Well, Beau did say that his dad was “speaking from the heart” on the gay marriage issue . . .
