I don't support a ban on gay marriage. I do not see gay marriage as expedient for our society. But we do all sorts of non-expedient things.

This is a good example of the conservative problem with gay marriage. You state you're not supportive of a ban and then expand that you don't see it as expedient for society. A whole page of arguing with you about gay marriage follows. You're not wrong, but the response you got shows where most not politically religious stand on the issue.

It's a tiny needle to thread to keep the important religious vote showing up without alienating too many others for being "out of touch".
