I do have to wonder where the fight to get government out of marriage was before the recent gay marriage hoopla. I'm sure it was there to a small degree, but I never heard much about it. Now all of a sudden many people have a problem with it? I don't really buy it


There has been a government minimalization push recently, but yes the motivation for this particular one is obvious. It is looking for a way around the issue without supporting gay marriages while not supporting banning gays in particular from marriage.

Yeah, I've noticed that too.

"out of sight, out of mind." They didn't have to deal with it because there wasn't enough of an issue to address it.

I don't know how it started, but being gay is no longer universally shamed. I'd think that there were gay people in earlier times who simply married the opposite sex to have "normal" lives.

Using House of Cards as a political reference...Francis Underwood had some implied gay moments, but he is obviously married to claire for political purposes.
