True.

scaeagles ~ The couples that sued CA are saying, "Hey, our relationships are just as valid and as important as straight ones. We deserve marriage equality." At that point, it's between those couples and the court. The Supreme Court of CA agreed. Now, the anti-gay marriage groups are up in arms saying that the state's constitution should be amended. The misinformed anti-marriage backers are forcing a choice on the issue, taking it to the masses and saying make a choice. Pro-gay marriage organizations (like Love Honor Cherish for example) are surfacing as a defensive move because of the misinformation anti-marriage orgs are spreading. When decisions were being made about interracial couples in the courts, they stood and that was that.
I see the wingnuts using it as a divisive issue because they are disagreeing with the courts and brought the issue forward. It was not the gay community that brought it to the people first and said 'You gotta listen to us and agree with us and choose sides'.
