My boyfriend, Neil, has a habit of yelling at the television, especially when its the news. This morning they were interviewing people who didn't believe in same sex marriages. My boyfriend blurted out....
"If you don't believe in same sex marriage, don't marry someone of the same sex!"
If I were to have a quote of the day, that would be it! I should start a series called "Neil's Quote of the Day"! I've started keeping pen and paper handy!
