Then what is it? I suppose it could and often is an opinion that you are told to use by your religion, fine. But you should never be given an opinion to use by your government or your elected representatives. The issue was not if it was illegal, it was if it was immoral. They can sometimes be the same, but this time there is a very significant difference.

Is Homosexuality immoral? I don't think so. Are Jews cheap, I don't think so, but I would bet some are. I know people that would not hesitate to say yes to each question. Are they right? They think so and it matters very little to them what you or I think about it.

Go to many of the middle eastern countries and ask if homosexuality is immoral. Most of your answers will be yes. Are they right? Their laws say they are.

Is it immoral here? the answer depends upon who you ask, but our laws say no, and that is all that matters.

"Well, in the end, this didn't change my opinion of her" tells me that nothing she said would make a difference with you, and wouldn't for a lot of people. So it seems to me that she did the right thing. What if she had said it doesn't matter how I or anyone else feel about it morally, because I am and always will be for equal right for homosexuals because they are guaranteed equal rights by the constitution? Would that have satisfied you?
