The rabid emotional anti-reaction to fag marriage is used as a bludgeon to rile the ultra-facist-conservative vote. It's a horror to me that every advance in my civil rights causes a backlash that not only rolls back those rights, but results in electoral defeat for all sorts of progressive and good causes and candidates.
Frankly, as a fag myself, I don't think gay marriage is important enough in comparison to all the good people with potential good policies that are defeated in the pogrom that follows every homosexual civil rights advance.
If, for illustrative example, one happily married lesbian couple means Michael J. Fox will die from no stem-cell Parkinson's cure ... then I'd rather gays stay in the back of the bus for the greater good.
