zestfiveAlso my local(small town of about 10,000) newspaper editor put a very brief editorial about how he thinks there should be gay marriage in last weeks paper. This week there were two letters against it, one using the god ideas to say why we shouldn't support it. I'm going to use what's below to prove my point, hopefully I won't throw too many people off using this. I'm really attempting to support gay marriage and not bash the bible(despite my personal opinions). I was just really happy the newspaper guy wrote what he did, especially since I am choosing to use my former partner's name to sign the letter(she's given me permission) because I want to protect my son's privacy.
