Don't paint us all with the same brush.

Of course. I was in no way suggesting that all christians are against homosexuality. I was just pointing out that christians are the majority in the US and there are a lot of them who oppose gay marriage, which is why it would be very hard for a politician to succeed if they publicly supported gay marriage.

We've argued extensively on this, I told her people used to think the same way about interracial unions etc. It's just what she believes but it's not based in religion at all.

That's interesting. At least she believes in equal rights though, which is the most important thing. Was she raised with religion?
