Not a meme

There's a meme going round at the moment which tries to use guilt to pressure everyone into posting a message supporting gay marriage and gay rights.

For the record: I believe that Governments shouldn't be involved in religious issues at any level, and that the civil aspects of marriage should not be gender-specific.

I am NOT asking anyone else to post a message along these lines, nor am I trying to guilt anyone out in any way, shape, or form. If anything, the original version of this meme would prejudice me against gay marriage, and I hope that whoever came up with the idea realises that trying to play the guilt card can have more than one result.

I'm not asking for comments on this - I think that there's quite enough acrimony about this one already.

There's a difference between a meme and spam.

I declined to participate for similar reasons to Marcus, but mainly because it starts with "We think" but fails to identify who the we actually is. Context is often lost whe you don't know the origin of the original post.
