[W126 Coupe] Off-topic: ABC'S stand on homosexuality, and religion.

[eurotech1 at charter.net]

  It's hard to say, but if we hear a big hullaboo over it, I guess we'll know. Might go to the ABC website, and check out what people are saying in their (ABC's) chat rooms, if it's a topic of discussion, I'd say it's true...
