it’s all pretty clear to a lot of us right now. But it was also pretty clear to lots of folks i knew back in the 70s that gay sex was immoral. period.
for people who want to exclude gays from marriage, it probably isn’t framed as a “freedom” issue. It’s just plain immoral. they do have quite a bit of history on their side. Government does get to legislate on these types of issues–moral issues–so long as the government has a rational basis to do so…
but doesn’t it kinda make you wonder what we’re blind to now? It’s unlikely we’ve reached the apex of an understanding, humane society. Far from it. So what are we repulsed by now, that in 30 years, will be clearly worthy of inclusion and understanding?
