A couple of hundred same-sex couples in Arnie-town (yes, it's California) flock to the justice of the peace -- why should anybody care?
This is the single most powerful argument for gay marriage out there: Why should you care?
Gay marriage is inevitable, so stop worrying about it.
But hey, if the word "marriage" can be redefined as a civil rights imperative, why balk at lesser ideas like "monogamy" or "fidelity"?
I do not mean to underestimate the powerful forces pushing for gay marriage. But excuse me, I'm 28 years old. I've grown up with successive waves of progressive myths, all preaching "resistance is futile." I was told as a teenager that nobody would be pro-life once all the old folks died off, and that no mothers would be home with children. I was told communism -- or at least socialism -- was inevitable, too. Have you looked at the Soviet Union lately?
War is not about killing your enemies; it's about crushing your enemies' will to fight. Guess what? Culture war is too.
Nothing is inevitable but death and taxes. If Obama don't march into the White House this November, it will be because gay folks cared more, fought harder, gave more -- and I don't believe that's going to happen.
P/s: Californians are going to surprise the elites and the progressive mythmakers by joining the 27 other states (from Oregon to Wisconsin) that have voted to protect marriage as between husband and wife. and gay-marriage will be a fad in the rest of the world (apart from the Gulf countries)
And by the way, i am not gay and am getting married to a lovely lady next January ;p
