Hey,
I just wanted to thank you for this podcast, I laughed & cried. This issue very important to me and as your podcast echoed its not a matter of right or wrong its a matter of human rights. Being a married Mormon man in Utah I have been battling many of my friends and family members for years on this issue and wrote a paper on the legalization of gay marriage in 1999, and was asked to publish this paper in the University paper, I had to stand up for what was right then as I do now. I want you to know there are people of my faith who believe that marriage is about love and know that the only thing to do is to have all people be able to express it in the same way. Keep up the fight and know that my wife & I stand with you! Keep up the great work on your wonderful pocast!
Thanks,
Eric James Haymond

Great episode Jay! As a southerner, most people around me fear and discriminate against gay men and women based on “Christian” values. Needless to say, logic doesn’t usually work when it comes to changing their minds. Thanks for an episode chock-full of well thought out, logical arguments for giving our fellow citizens the rights they deserve.
