2. Here's my take on it.

I'd give the originator of this credit if I could remember who that was, but...

...any relationship...an actual, committed relationship...can have all of the joys and strife and ups and downs, regardless of the sexual orientation of the two people involved.

It's an ADVENTURE.

Good days, bad days, happy memories, arguments, just an endless list of opposites that can happen on any given day.

So ANYONE WHO COMMITS to a relationship has my admiration and respect. I've been with my girlfriend for ten years. IT HAS REQUIRED EFFORT on both our parts and the effort was WORTH it.

If two people want to be together, and no one's getting hurt by it, LET THEM BE TOGETHER and WISH THEM WELL.

(And by "no one getting hurt," I don't mean right wingers and evangelicals "not approving." It's none of their business).

I am guessing the reason why Clarence wants to sink his fangs into this one is that he believes there are more "liberal" same-sex couples than "conservatives." I don't believe that, but his motivation IS "to make liberals' lives as miserable as they made his."
