I have no desire to insult you but I must go on. BTW, I am not left-handed.

But Nevada got rid of theirs with a subterfuge, it has a domestic partnership law which conveys all rights of marriage.

It doesn't matter where you are on the path of life, but which direction you are headed.

Do you not know which way the wind blows?

When people like you post about gay marriage, I can definitely feel the wind blowing.

# of states permitting gay marriage: 4
- # of states of those states who permitted gay marriage by popular vote: 0

I wonder if Levin is feeling the wind blow this morning.

PS. It's probably worth noting that 538 handicapped the Maine vote at 71% in favor of gay marriage.

However the winds of change still blow in favor of gay marriage and domestic partnerships.

I'm not super charged up about the issue, although I dislike it when my church trots out glib arguments and seems to have a very peculiar selective take on what issues are worth fighting for.
