educated and hold powerful positions within and outside government. They vote their pocketbooks and power base because they know no matter what the politicians say or do the gays will continute to live their lives the way they want to. It's not that they don't despise the Christian wingnuts but they know they really don't matter when the bedroom door closes. Gay want the same rights that married couples have but many don't need to engage in the religiously fabricated institution of "marriage" sanctioned by some state. This issue of gay marriage was one that was played to the ignorant homophobes BY the educated homophobes. It's called "manipulation."
My brother and his mate don't give two hoots about getting married. They only care that they receive their rights and benefits from the country they fought for and support. It's most of us out here who are going nuts over this issue. The fear of loss of life, jobs, liberties, benefits, and safety crosses the lines of many lives in America, not just gays but women, the poor, minorities, and now the Democrats are all worried about the irrational and hateful behavior of the religious zealots who have been worked up into a frenzy over anything and anybody who is not white and "saved."
