NWP, I appreciate your stance and that of virtually everyone here. As you say, however, it will take a healthy portion of the 90% to speak out and vote for equality.

I did not mean to imply that you or anyone here should do anything. But I do say that it will take heteros being outspoken and probably a bit uncomfortable by raising the issue even when it doesn't seem natural.

Somehow my parents managed to imbue that principle in me as a child. I take it for many here the same happened or that you have learned and adopted that stance about your role as a responsible citizen.

I just want to shoot down the implied notion of some that this is an issue of concern exclusively or even primarily to gays and lesbians. It is not. It is an issue for all. All.
