- saraid216 13y agoFor Californians, what gays do in California isn't "over there". It's "right here". You seem to be trying very hard to make pro-gay marriage arguments (and not succeeding at all, I should add), but you're arguing with people who agree with you on the political issue. I'm trying to help explain the phenomenon, which may provide a stepping stone to figuring out how to best convince people like chc's friends and family.

I'm not really abreast of Las Vegas politics. > I've given up trying to convince people like chc's friends and family. What are you hoping to achieve with this conversation, then? Moral high ground?
