I’d like to see the evidence underpinning that statement please.

“Men and women who marry, and stay married, in mutually supportive relationships, generally live longer, experience better health, and enjoy more satisfying lives.”

“Pastor Hayward Harris … pointed out the hypocrisy in Minister Roban’s statement … and said “They have spent so much money trying to deny people some basic rights.””

Go Pastor Hayward!
