More Gay Marriage Stuff
Nov 07, 2005 23:50
The real motive at work here, I suspect, has far less to do with any actual or perceived threat to the "institution of marriage" than it does with the terrifying suspicion that their own fundamentalist faith is too flimsy to survive in a pluralist public square. Their faith is so weak, so fragile, that the mere existence of other viewpoints -- and the public acknowledgment of them -- is as frightening as the idea of "gay people paratrooping in to occupy the vestry." Such timid faith can only be exercised freely under the canopy of legally established religion.
Speaking of,
about 8 hours until the polls open! OMG!
Not that I'll be exactly surprised whenif the amendment passes. But I sure as heck wanna vote against it!
