Are you really claiming that gays were getting married in 1780? 1880? 1980? Get a grip dude.
Mixed race marriages, black marriages, women being able to refuse being raped by her husband, etc. all didn't exist for the vast majority of U.S. history.

Things change. Deal with it.

Since I supported it here in Maryland I think I am dealing just fine. I just find the ongoing lies and propaganda annoying. Maybe proponents would be further ahead if they dialed it down a notch with the hyperbole and lies.

Yes, it did. Some of the Native Americans called it "Two Spirits."

How about the anti gays like the christian church and mormons stop promoting their lies and propaganda about gays. They backed prop 8, the Arizona license to discriminate law and pushed hard to ban same sex marriage in Hawaii. Those people who espoused morality, sure seemed to like to tell a lot of lies.
