[Vision2020] Why I Support Gay Marriage

[Joe Campbell]

I don't understand someone who gets worked up because the local  
government won't allow smoking in bars, who thinks that that is some  
kind of communist influence, but who thinks the government CAN tell  
folks who to marry, and anyone who says otherwise is acting like a  
child. It makes no sense.

Your pal, Joe
