Good for them! and for many caring people!  I know many of them as well.
Let me remind you all that I said "some," not "all"; that I'm an
Episcopalian, that I was speaking about a family member who is actually
kind, caring, who disapproves of the bombers and exterminators, and who is
somebody I love, but who is so very determined in his beliefs that many
topics like this can't be discussed.  "No cross no crown" is our family
policy, and maybe we should put that into practice here.

I was merely interested in the belief structures about homosexuality.  I
have dear friends who struggle with this.
