I'd agree.
Tom, please marry Right, please?
Right: So Omega does not support the concept of Gay Marriage. Well neither do I. Personally, I believe homosexuality is immoral, and at times, disgusting.
Doesn't immediately mean that I'm gonna grab a bullhorn and lead a one man futile demonstration against my government.
Two Gay Marriages occurred here in Ontario. And these newlyweds want to challenge the government into recognizing their rights as a married couple, gay or straight. If they win, good for them, I will not object to anything.
Point here is that while Omega does not support Gay Marriage, he will not attempt to hammer his influence onto others who support it. And neither will I. You can say that we are somewhat ignorant to this concept.

I don't find homosexuality immoral, entirely because the Bible is not my book (and that book is the ONLY basis for supposing that homosexuals are any more immoral than anybody else), but I admit to being nauseated by it on occasion. Gay porn. YECCH!
Of course, I've been nauseated by a lot of things even worse. The revoltingly high priority some people place on varsity, collegiate, and professional athletics, for example.
For me, homosexuality falls under the 'as long as you aren't hurting anybody (note to Fundies: the vast majority of pedophiles tend to be straight), and as long as you aren't doing it on my front lawn, I don't care' category.

Incidentally, my comments about our SSI problem that I mentioned above were to show one of the dangers of relying on government for support. They don't want to give it, despite their claims to the contrary. It's much easier to keep you dependent.
And to show that the government might not be wise to step into the 'caring for addicts' cause until they care adequately for the people they're ALREADY supposed to be caring for, the truly disabled.
My gf could probably be paying her own way in a couple of years, maybe significantly less, with the proper assistance. She needs things I can't give her, though: A place other than her childhood home (with all its oppresion and nightmares) to live in, a computer with special accessibility programs (like voice recognition), assistance to finish school (she was a graduate student working towards a Masters in Literature, before her pain and surgeries sidelined her), and a medical system that provides adequate pain relief (Doctors here seem to believe that chronic pain is somehow less important and less deserving of treatment than acute pain. But her chronic pain IS acute!)
She's been denied all these things. And now they're telling her she'll lose what little they WERE willing to give her, if she marries.

I made this yesterday at school, before anyone had posted anything on the "political ring", which makes more sense than this. This was induced by massive amounts of This wierd orange-type soda, and many bags of salted peanuts, so I am not responsible for any permanent brain damage it causes. It's not that well fleshed out, but it made sense at the time, to me, and well, here.

You could load it into IE, and save it as a JPEG. I think.
