Reply #20: It is part of the culture war. Remember, liberal and conservatives

[Silverhair]

differ, not only in economic matters, but also in social matters. For conservatives it is a big issue, and they are going to talk about it. If we ignore it, we give them a clear field. We have to talk about it, like it or not. And yes, it hurts us big time. Even her at DU, someone took a poll and it came up 20% oppossed to gay marriage. In the general population 66% oppose. Since most of the approval is among liberals, who are about 35% of the population, then that leaves almost all of the center and the right opposed. Bad new for us. We lose either way, but I think we lose less by talking about it than by ducking it.
