45. You're not homophobic, so it doesn't make sense to you
Edited on Thu Oct-21-10 07:36 PM by ruggerson
It doesn't make any sense to me, either.

But from an institutionally homophobic point of view, there needs to be some kind of rationale and reason to suddenly move the ship of state in the opposite direction from where it has been headed for decades.

It gives them cover. Stupid surveys, immoral delays give them cover to say that times have evolved and we are ready to evolve as well, instead of fully acknowledging the deep seated prejudice and bigotry that has long been the official policy of our government.

That will come retroactively in about fifty years. Around the time Harvey Milk day becomes a national holiday.
