Moonchild, arrogance on your part is not becoming. FYI, newbies don't need to be taught anything, the only thing they need to know is that their opinion will be as valid as anyone else's, and the fact that as of today, gay marriage is not legal in North Carolina, and the SCOTUS has not reviewed any challenge to the law.

I don't care what people do in their bedrooms, don't cram your agenda down my throat, and if Mr. Cathy has an opinion, he is entitled to it!
