If you wish I'd stop writing about this, fear not. I will…and way sooner than Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum will stop using it to raise funds, promising a Constitutional Amendment that will never get anywhere. Those who think it will do not realize how much of the country you have to have on your side to amend the constitution.
I continue to be fascinated by how feeble the argument against Gay Marriage turned out to be when thrust into courts of law. On talk shows and at parties, its opponents could insist that "God is against it" and "We all know it's wrong" and other insistences that are inadmissible before a judge. It pretty much came down to a claim that allow gays to wed would have some vague, impossible-to-prove adverse impact on Straight Marriage…or be bad for any children who were birthed as a result of Adam marrying Steve.
On the children issue, they made some claims that might have had a place in an argument for Gay Adoption…but very few people who oppose Gay Marriage seem to care one way or the other about Gay Adoption. They also don't care enough about kids being raised by two loving heterosexual parents to do anything about the high divorce rate among straights. It's only gay people who have to sacrifice for the children.
If you're still rankled about the decision, I suggest you seek out and actually read some of the arguments from various states and also from the Supreme Court that led to judges ruling that same-gender wedlock could not be outlawed. Stripped of all that "God Stuff," the case was pretty empty. I keep looking for a good one.
One of my favorite political writers, Jonathan Chait, thinks Conservative Super-Columnist Ross Douthat is the best that side has to offer and that Douthat's arguments are almost vaporware. If you come across a stronger case that doesn't rely on "Because the Bible says so," please let me know.
