there's a difference between supporting what you believe in and taking rights away from other people.

if you're out to him, it's hard not to take that personally. "So you don't think I deserve the same marriage as you?"

definitely out to him, and this has become an all out war. He has called it a "difference of opinion", but it's so much worse than that.

how on earth he could NOT be offended by someone promoting the idea that I don't deserve the same rights that he does.

your "point" is misguided, at best.

the right to support something and the right to be offended are not mutually exclusive.

the right to feel offended by anyone who considers him less of a person.
