Equal rights for all.

c9So I emailed a bunch of friends at work to ask them to please call their MPs and support equal marriage rights for all (i.e. same-sex marriage, but it really should be called EQUAL marriage). Most said nothing, and I think are silently supportive (which isn't much use sometimes...), some said "100% agree Cam, the situation sucks", and one (very religious) said "I don't want that [equal marriage] to happen, but I value your friendship."
I really do (did?) feel like I was close friends with this guy, and it is seriously bothering me that he isn't on the equality side on this issue. I feel like if he knew the details then he would be, but maybe he already does and is just anti-equality? I really want to debate him on this and convince him, but I'm really worried that if I do he won't change his position and I'll end up more upset and less one friend.
But every time he comes in the office I tense up, my stomach is bugging me... I really feel like I've already lost a big chunk of our friendship. ARGH.
