Just thinking off the top of my head, but I wonder if---because of the experience of illegal immigration---many "Latino RCs" draw a line between personal morality, and the law?<br /><br />Of course, I wish they would NOT believe "sex between same-sex couples is wrong" . . . but that may come w/ more USA-acculturation.JCFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516376500318551838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238382886103256219.post-2845580916683210922013-09-27T16:23:08.266-07:002013-09-27T16:23:08.266-07:002nd OT.
