Homosexuals are just about recreational mating.

My part of the country, a “mixed marriage” was between a Lutheran and a Catholic.
Virginia Ping!
“The judge said she would rule soon. Wright Allen is a former public defender and assistant U.S. attorney who was appointed to the post by President Barack Obama.

Gee, I wonder how this one is going to turn out.
