in thread When is it time to stop posting to CPAN?

One can read it in a way that nobody should care about gay weddings.

And you are implying that we are all straight, since you omitted the "if" in "It doesn't affect you".

So depending on context and mood one can read it as a derisive comment on "gay weddings".

    That only makes sense if one presumes that it doesn't affect gays (or others on the spectrum), or if you think I presume that. Obviously, that's false. It does benefit them, and not just intangibles like validation (which includes representation on the census!); they get tax benefits, insurance benefits, etc. (Upd to added this paragraph.)

    We were talking about removal.

    Same-sex marriages are legal here in Canada. I was also going under the assumption that it's the same in the US (though now I wonder if it's only some states). There's no such thing as same-sex marriages; the are just marriages between two people.

    Same for the module on CPAN. It's already on CPAN.

    As such, I was speaking about caring about their removal (attaching importance to their removal, looking after or providing for the needs of their removal). Sorry about the confusion.

    And no, I didn't assume "you" was straight. Straight or not, you have no reason to want it removed.

      > Straight or not, you have no reason to want it removed.

      I never complained about your post, I defended you.

      You seem to confuse me with someone else.

        I'm using the same "you" (meaning the reader) as in the original, not LanX specifically :)
