The anti-gay marriage amendments were credited with giving Bush the 2004 election. Maine’s recent debate on the issue had to be delayed because so many people came that there were traffic jams. It’s caused schisms in Church denominations. TMV posts that talk about gays seem to consistently get the most comments out of any topic — aside from which political party is “worse.” Not to mention the number of people that are beaten or killed each year.
The only thing I can think is: why? Seriously, I don’t get how this issue even begs any comment, let alone changing the course of history. To me it’d be much more worthwhile to discuss and care about more important things such as white or wheat, boxers or briefs, and Beatles or Stones.
This post really doesn’t have a point, except that there is none. Anyone know why it’s such a Big Deal to so many people?
