That was a great response by Warren and funny. But inherent in her answer is why people care so dearly what other people are doing, marry whoever you want but please shut up.

Its a pretty good assumption although it could be a woman asking the question, the smart money says its an old white male evangelical. We have heard this question a few times before.

Depends entirely on what the joke is.

You remember jokes right?
Negatory. They lack the required sense of humor.

I thought it was hilarious. Good for her. and yes that is exactly the point that she was making!
I don't understand why people can't live their lives and just let other people live their lives.

So very true.

Could she have said that because in order to mention the opposite sex, she had to assume something about the person asking the question?

Without the qualifier, she couldn't get in that she thinks the person should marry someone of the opposite sex, so she had to identify the questioner as something.

That's my guess.

Most people complaining about gay marriage are men.

She sounds like a snarky broad with that comment. The question was pertinent and with a thoughtful answer she possibly could be persuasive to a voter on the fence about her. But no, she had to sound like a man-hating witch instead.

You guessed wrong. It was a joke, but only for those of us who don’t believe that marriage is only for one man and one woman. And yeah, it’s at their expense.
