   Which was a mistake by the legal authorities to legalize,   
   and by Nabors and his friend to take advantage of.   
      
   The interests of human society are better served by the status of   
   civil marriage being completely abolished than by its being allowed   
   to include even a single instance of same-sex partners.

   His error in treating any same-sex sexual attractions that may   
   have afflicted him as ever entitled to gratification should be   
   regretted by everyone,but not treated as defining him.
