[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rand_Paul&curid=11914121&diff=578920681&oldid=578896142 This edit] has us reporting that "Paul does not support [[same-sex marriage]]".

:::<small>I have just merged this section, which was headed "Massive understatement" and began with MilesMoney's message of 06:31, 27 October 2013. There was no need to start a new section about the same subject matter within 24 hours of a prior section being opened. The only possible purpose was to enable a point-y/drama-laden entry in the table of contents. - [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 22:35, 27 October 2013 (UTC)</small>
