"My family member/best friend is..." is a poor defense of bigotry in the best of circumstances, but "my nephew is gay married" really has no weight after you shipped your nephews (not sure if this nephew is one of those nephews) across state lines to keep them from seeing any references to gay people, and you explicitly say you don't support gay marriage.
Quote:
John my youngest nephew is gay (and I freaked out and uprooted him [or his cousins] when he [or they] were exposed to the existence of gay people) and married to his partner (which I oppose).

Presumably, you knew your nephew was in a same-sex marriage when you posted that you opposed gay marriage. Is it OK for him, but not anyone else? Or were you presenting your
bona fides on opposing gay marriage even though your own nephew is in one?
Also, I don't support Spexxvet's implication that you would train them to be violently homophobic, but your response is that their mother shortly took custody back, and
she wouldn't do that...
Yeah, you didn't do yourself any favors on that question.
