I don't get it
Feb. 17th, 2012 07:59 pmNJ legislature passes gay marriage bill. NJ governor promptly vetoes it. Didn't we see this same pattern a few years ago in California? And what happened then? There is no question in my mind but that there WILL be civil gay marriage across the US eventually, and it looks to me as if it will happen a lot sooner than I expected. Right wingers who keep fighting it are just making themselves look foolish in the end.
Meanwhile, in Maryland, the assembly debates a gay marriage bill and finally shuts up and votes on it. Unlike last year's failure, this time it passes. The state senate has passed gay marriage before, and will surely do so again, and the governor promises to sign it. So what will happen next in MD? Of course the Catholic and Mormon churches will spend a fortune on lies and negative ads to get a ballot initiative passed to kill the law. And haven't we seen that too? Of course we have, in California. And what happened there?
They just don't get it. The culture war is over on this front, defeat for the narrow minded is inevitable. The longer they fight, the worse it will be for everyone, themselves included.
