Calling Out Both Sides

Posted on March 27, 2013 by dprichmond • 4 Comments

Okay, maybe I like confrontation a little too much.  Or maybe I am just an equal opportunity type guy, but one thing’s for sure: I am probably going to make both sides of the “gay marriage” debate angry with this post.  Oh well, to be honest, I’m pretty fed up with them too.  With my … Continue reading →
