Myles: no. :-)
To Peter:
Gay marriage is not a matter of State, except that some politicians may choose to use it to get some more votes on their side. It is a matter of religion.

With John Kerry the assumptive Democratic nominee, the staff here at seanrees.com would like to sound our support of John Kerry.
