there's something odd about that, and not just because of the punctuation.

anyway, if she feels she has to respond, all she needs to say is something like that she's disappointed he feels that way, plus add her own words: I will be marrying this amazing man and beyond this one e-mail I will not hear or respond to anything on the topic ever again.

maybe also something about her being more worried about future children inheriting or being exposed to bigotry than anything else.

eh, that subject line part still isn't sitting right.
