Michigan's same sex marriage ban declared unconstitutional

[Zacha341]

Thanks for weighing in your opinion. Especially the 'plain and simple' aspect relative to a complex issue which is neither.

It is not logical to summarize everyone in opposition to gay marriage as a 'hater'. I am standing on that, firm.

Regarding the term 'Tolerance' in its contemporary use I'm curious, aside from this topic, as to why it is often incorrectly used to infer 'endorsement' or 'agreement'??
