Folks like Josh never seem to get past the hospital visitation thing, unfortunately, and never think about the hundreds of other rights being denied that truly hurt individuals who want to get married. OK... does anyone have a good cioppino recipe for the gastronomically challenged?

No pun intended. Sorry Josh, but if you don't support equal marriage, then you don't support equal rights, and you don't get to pretend you do.
