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, and I think many just use it as a cover for their personal beliefs against homosexuality, partially attributable to those that label anyone against gay marriage as bigots.

It is driven by the push for homosexual marriage. Just as the left has pushed homosexual marriage through their channels for 4 decades now. It's amazing how far we've come without really even realizing it. In 2008, Obama viewed the issue as toxic enough to come out opposed to gay marriage. Now, 6 or 7 years later, anyone taking that position is a bigot. It's like we have to be agnostic towards history to pretend that this is just a natural progression of the civil rights battle.
