[[ 86 ]] LOVE IS A HUMAN EXPERIENCE...
--- not a religious right or a political statement.
Marriage Equality will return it to that basic state.
It wasn't social fodder because gays had an 'agenda' - it became that because Group-A wanted to deny Group-B equal privilege, and Group-C wanted to use the angst this created as an opportunity to manipulate votes.
So Group-B had to defend themselves. That's all.
In 1967 the Supreme Court legalized interracial marriage in the United States.
It's been 48 years since then, and in most places - people just don't make a big fuss anymore when they see a mixed race couple.
So... it's not unreasonable to think that
-- in less than a generation.... gay marriage is likely to fade from social relevance.
Worry not. Some other challenge will rise to take its place: religions need people to demonize and politicians prey on causes. Perhaps the Next Big Controversy will be the legalization of marijuana? Maybe the nation's commitment to clean energy and self-driving cars? Or perhaps, the right for poly families to legally recognize their marriages too?
Whatever it is, the same players will take the same sides.
There will be setbacks and great strife, followed by progress and growth.
Don't Panic. This is the story of Humanity.

Now.... as for this - -
Oh? Fine. GAME ON.
If that's what you're really fighting for, dudes - please let me know so the misogynist in me can consider joining your ranks!

*And by 'let me know', I mean don't call me.
MEANWHILE, SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD -- -
Other people are guilty of loving each other in new and unexpected ways...
oh. the horror.
