If gay marriage becomes legal that will make it easier for them to adopt kids and teach them to be queer too. (Not that there is anything wrong with that) Why can't they stay in the closet and do this stuff behind closed doors instead of doing it in public parks and other public places ? WRZ PS -

That's no way to play devil's advocate, and if it is a joke, it's a bad one. If Mr. Zardis is playing games, the list is not the place to do it. And that kind of remark is obnoxious and horrible even if he is kidding. And if he is kidding, my positive response is that he needs to take that
