My response to the form letter received from the nazis in VA:

I could not agree with you any less on this issue. I feel that there is nothing about the concept of gay marriage that affects heterosexual marriage in the least. I cannot fathom this fear that someone allowing gay people to marry will inspire people to what...turn gay? It seems that people who are gay are just that - gay. I don't hear much about 'them' recruiting.

I am disappointed that you feel this way, but it is appreciated that you do express your views clearly.
