If I were to give him the benefit of the doubt I'd say he was trying to make a point about people being motivated by their being uncomfortable with homosexuality. I don't know anything about CaptainFreedom and he didn't provide any context, so it's hard to say.

Why is gay marriage even an issue? Does anyone really give a crap?

Haven't you heard? It devalues the institution of marriage and will lead to the eventual downfall of civilization.

That's what Newt "I served my first wife with divorce papers while she was in the hospital being treated for cancer" Gingrich and Rudy "I had a very public affair while mayor and lived with a gay couple when my wife kicked me out" Giuliani told me and I believe them. After all, they have first-hand experience devaluing marriage.

The gay marriage issue is no longer an issue. In fact, any debate about homosexuality is null and void now that there's a cure. All it takes is a few weeks of intensive counseling and boom!....you're cured of the gay.

I would guess around half the country is bothered by the concept.

Democracy FTW!

Yes, lots of people are bothered by the concept. The question is: how much are they bothered by it? It costs them basically nothing to check a box saying "prevent these people from doing something they want to do", but if they had to fund that oppression themselves, directly, without spreading the cost over everyone else, the shallowness for this anti-preference would quickly become apparent.

It's the anti-free-rider problem.

Lots of people spend lots of money fighting gay marriage. You think Falwell spends his own money pretecting this country's morals?

You think GWB cares? Some one paid him a lot of money to act like he does.

If you watch "Friends of God" you will see a bunch of anti-gay marriage billboards. Bill boards are not cheap, and Viacom doesn't give christians a discount.

There is only 1 reason gay marriage should be illegal, because the public wants it illegal.

Kentucky

25% against

Michigan (blue state)

40% against

Montana

Utah

11-0 for anti gay marriage ballot measures in 2004 (several other measures also passed pre-2004)

Clearly alot of people do care about this issue. You can view each and every one of those people who casts their vote as a backwards hick if you so choose.

And while laws can be unconstitutional, there is also alot of support for constitutional amendment banning it as well.

Very inconvenient for the gays indeed.

Or tragic, if you view homosexual love as legitimate and coequal to heterosexual love.

Are you saying it is unjust that they should be protected from the majority? Are you one of the "damn those activist judges" crowd?
