I understand, but yes, links to uncivil material are themselves considered uncivil.

Thanks for being open to alternatives. How about:
> I think LGBT marriages can be sacred, too
>
> When people wish to deny the right to marry to the LGBT community:
> 1. I don't feel free to worship.
> 2. I fear my way of life will be stamped out.

> rules like that don't make me feel loved!instead of:
> I don't find that the sanctity of christian marriages means very much

> There are only two possible motives for the christian right to wish to deny the right to marry to the LGBT community:
> 1. to impose their religious beliefs on a country.
> 2. To stamp out a way of life that they do not agree with.
