Oh, there is one more difference when you got married, you probably did it in church, and your marriage was probably blessed by an ordained minister and God. Your friend won't get this because gays and lesbians are an abomination in the eye's of God.

So their opinion matters less because they weren't so fortunate to go to college as you and I?
And why does it have to be about race? I'm sick of people always making things out about race?
