<<Gay and race are two very different issues. Gay marriage as an issue is more like abortion than it is racial integration. And just for the record, I am not entirely comfortable with abortion althought I am perfectly fine with gay marriage. In fact, I would encourage my significant other to abort only as a last option.>>

There is where you logic fails you.

Gay marriage and integration are EXACTLY the same thing. Exactly, exactly!!! Exactly!

And why are neither analagous to abortion? Here is why:

Abortion is a dilemma. Integration an gay marriage are problems with specific solutions.

Huge difference between a dilemma and a problem. A dilemma only has a choice. Existentialist's do best with dilemma's. problems have actual solutions.

Example: Gunther Grass: tin drum: a French boy is the sole care taker of his 85 year old grandmother. Nazi's have invaded and he wants to go fight the Nazi's, but he doesn't want to leave his grandmother.

What is the right answer. The right answer is whatever the boy decides to do. Dilemma's only have decisions. Problems have logical solutions.
