I'm going to respectfully disagree with you on that.

If you're on my side of the screen, you'd understand. I can't leave broken threads, since readers would not be able to make sense of it. It's not an exact science, but alas. Leave all comments, people complain. Remove a few comments, people complain. Use the hatchet, and people complain. There's no right way here.

In any case, just as I would remove "black people shouldn't be allowed to get married to white people", I will remove "gay people are not allowed to get married with other gay people".

I will also not avoid posting a news item just because large parts of the world do not yet have full legal equality for all its citizens. Can't help it us Dutch and several other countries are ahead of the curve there. I refuse to lower my standards or compromise my integrity - if I were to not post this story just because some people would get upset, I would not be able to see some of my friends eye-to-eye.
