Of course you don't agree it's the bottom line. No one could and support Proposition 8. For some of us, it is the bottom line. We are talking about consenting adults here, and their only apparent means or chance of experiencing deeply rewarding romantic love and intimacy. Hence, my values say I want them to have the right to marry.

This is where science ends and values begin to govern.
