The correct answer is "I have no right to intrude on the rights of anyone else, as long as no one is getting hurt." "Many gays are already married and the world hasn't ended. So just shut up and deal."
Fucking politicians, not a one of them has the balls to speak the truth without making sure the "truth" gets them higher poll numbers and more votes.
