As Dottie might say, it is darn easy to find the source of the sentence that precedes the question with a modicum of reaserch. It is quoted from another website, Religious Tolerance.org, which is maintained by a group (or individual) that calls itself Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance. The fact that someone quoted a passage from that website has implications, but I'm not sure what they are.

We still don't know who G.N.H.S.04 is. Maybe he or she is sympathetic to the idea of same-sex marriage, or maybe he or she is a reactionary who finds it threatening. But do you still believe it's not a loaded question?

Obviously, I haven't gotten my point across. Honest debate is one thing, and I'm all for it. But spreading a loaded "question" on a bunch of message boards without any intention of joining the "debate" it sparks for the purpose of arousing liberals and/or reactionaries to manipulate them emotionally is something completely different. It's distantly related to the practice of joining message boards just to post a deceptive link to a Bulgarian escort service, and morally equivalent.
