WORD : Harding called

Sent: 3/2/2004 8:59 PM

Harding University just called. Their student asked for "Mister Gurley," and I replied with, "This is he." Immediately he began into a speech of numbers and raised dollars amounts. I stopped him cold. "Before you go on, just tell me, how do you feel about gay marriage?" He was only silent for a half a moment. "I think it's wrong." I smiled to myself and said, "See, I don't think it is. That's why I can't offer anything to you today. I am sorry."

He was silent for a full moment. "Uh, okay, thank you, goodbye."

Gay alumni of Harding University. We're here.
