A few things -- take what you like and leave the rest.

As a Christian, I not only condone committed gay relationships, I embrace them.

As for the health care issue, many large corporations, IBM included, offer health care for domestic partners (read gays and lesbians). They do it because their employees are diverse and their marketplace is diverse. It's not affecting their bottom line or adding undue hardship to their healthcare benefit.

Healthcare in this country is absolutely abismal for most people. Hepatitis C and AIDS are not limited to gays. Where is the study that says adding gays in committed relationships will tank the healthcare system? It appears that most people are more worried about us -- the boomers -- tanking the health care system. :-))
