Yes! This!

What I find so funny, especially, are the ones who start these threads, and others like them, and they sound so full of optimism about a stupid march tomorrow (it will be interesting to see how many actually participate), and that they seem to think they can actually put a STOP to the inevitable.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Watching the indignant befuddlement as angry old men realize they're losing their grip on power is roundly entertaining.

In a few years, most people here will never have been against gay marriage at all, as far as they can recall.
I was talking about when it was a still dispute in this country.
in short not a single person I know advocated for it in the 50's or 60's, though I know people publicly advocated against Jim Crow and now advocate publicly against same gender "marriage" for the same reason because their both immoral.

PS I will be against same gender "marriage" even if gay terrorists will murder me for it.

May you and your family and friends have a wonderful meal.

Oh, and for our tally? Put one more in the Let's Get 'Er Done category for marriage equality in all 50 states!

Are you perhaps beginning to get the absurdity of insisting a freedom is available, if the only way for someone to partake means giving up a major facet of one's identity?
the only thing absurd is that you compare religion to a deviant sexual act.

unless you are saying that there is a religion called gayisim. (there are plenty of things practitioners of that religion believe on blind faith.)

I've noticed that many of C-Ds contributors live in a very different world than I. I'm bat crap crazy.

I've totally lost contact with the conscious world. For years and years I believed it was unlawful for homosexual couples to marry in 41 states of this freaking Union.

I think I'm going to go lay down now...
