Dante, I agree that it is the use of the word that constructs a POV.  Of course, in a technically accurate sense either word would work, but we would then be blind to the inherent emotional connotations in each example.  To gay activists, "disruptive" is connotating disapproval with the decision, as we normally use "disruptive" in a negative sense.  Important, to people with more traditional values who view marriage as necessarily between a man and a woman, improperly connotates a sense of approval and puts the decision in a positive light.  It is not only the content but the form of the message that is able to contain POV.  01:20, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
