They were getting pregnant, or married, or worse - religious

I find it funny that people can find such beauty in a place like San Fransisco, sing it's praises for openness and tolerance but yet when it comes to religion be as closed minded as the bigots they despise.

Religion is not the problem just as philosophy is not the problem, mans inhumanity to man is the problem and statements like ..or worse - religious are exactly the same inhumanity in a smug nihilistic, hipster, condescending mask.

It's the opposite end of the same coin, it is no different then the rabid anti-gay coalitions quest to morally police the masses bedrooms, by citing a book, as their justification, that clearly states Let he among you without sin cast the first stone.

You would be well served to leave out the cometary that could alienate a portion of your readership. Ask yourself, did my jab help further my story. You should respects a persons choice no matter how ill conceived you think it is, because someone will think a choice you have made is just as illogical and use your intolerance as their justification in their intolerance. Intolerance is recursive.
