No, the upswell in people who are spouting off and have no idea what they are talking about is an artificial movement.

If you want to be against something at least understand what you are against.

I'm going to use a Prop8 analogy again - one of my former marketing managers is LDS, hard core "yes on 8". Except instead of touting "the bible says man should not lay with man, the bible says it's wrong blah blah blah" that most of the "yesers" were saying he was against it because he was against the term marriage being used for anyone not married in a church. He agreed that same-sex couples should get the same rights but this wasn't the way to do it and wanted to see the term "marriage" removed from any joining not preformed in a church.

Or you could compare it to a kid who hates strawberries because mom and/or dad hates them. The kid has never had them but they are gross and disgusting because that's what mom and dad say.
