I made the pepperoni pizza comment as a little joke (though it's true) but
I 
said "For starters..." Religious groups impact the content on tv, the laws
I 
have to abide by and my ability to attend a truly fabulous gay wedding
(and 
all that is still just "For starters..."). I don't ask anybody to make any

concessions for my beliefs so why should I make concessions for beliefs I 
disagree with?
