In response to:
Dan and Terry don't represent every gay person in America. If they want to have an open-relationship (just like millions of straight couples do), that's their personal private choice. Considering that a huge percentage of straight couples cheat on each other, and that the divorce rate continues to hover around 50%, I'd hardly call straight relationships the gold standard, would you? I didn't realize that straight couples had to pass a "fidelity and morality test" before they got married. Oh, that's right. They don't. Just ask Newt Gingrich, the king of adultery. If he gets married for a 4th time, his 5th marriage will be free!

As for Newt; just eat your sh!t. You won't be made to pay for his sins. You're totally irrelevant far as he's concerned. He confesses to God; whereas YOU
Are the king of pharisees and leader of kangaroos (kangaroo court.) You confess to a kangaroo god.
