Reply #33: Seriously - for the life of me I cannot understand why people

think allowing two other people who love one another to marry is in any way a threat to their own marriages. I have never understood this.

And they'll continue to spin and attempt to create some "rationale" for their bigotry, but there is no rationale for it - they simply expose themselves as fearful bigots - afraid of "the gay" to use Maddow's term.

I think they'll need to find a new issue soon, as more and more states realize that denying an entire segment of their population equal rights simply won't hold constitutional water.

(A few nice human interest features in papers across the country featuring anything but "wealthy, elites" desiring marriage might not hurt, either. Humanizing this fight is so integral to winning complete acceptance. It's so easy to demonize an entire group of people - it's harder by far to look one person in the face and say: "you're not deserving of basic rights".)
