The current I thought gay marriage was going to be a huge issue, but the Democrats are cutting and running too. I could be wrong, though that's never happened before, but I think this is going to fizzle as an issue and a constitutional amendment is DOA. Nobody wants to go near this. Denial will buy time and serve gays well. I think there's a tipping point coming soon. By the way, I'm not gay, but some of my best friends are. -Mike _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
