  • I have some appreciation for those who are inclined to resist when it feels like they're being pushed into acceptance. And I'm sure President Biden recently signing into law the Respect for Marriage Act triggered some of those feelings. But my willingness to commiserate further depends on how somebody acts on those feelings.
