I know the Republicans make a big deal over gay marriage since they're trying to appease the religious fanatics who vote for them, but who else truly gives a FUCK?
According
CBS only forty-two percent of the public outright supports gay marriage. Most of the rest either support civil unions (but not "marriage") or oppose the whole idea outright.
So, apparently, about half the country gives a fuck and/or are "religious fanatics."
As I said before, I've got no problem with gay marriage when it's done by legislation or ballot initiatives. I just think the court rulings that impose it are flawed for the reasons I've set forth. I suspect a lot of republicans--and independents--feel the same way.
Finally, this begs the question: if some supporters of gay marriage are correct, and only a minority (primarily religious conservatives) oppose it, why are they so afraid to put it to a vote? Why are they forced to go to court and get legal opinions often full of tortured logic and bad precedents?
