Now I wonder which social conservative will give up on opposing gay marriage next...

She didn't give up on it, she just found better fight the culture wars on.

Didn't Bachmann basically build her entire political career based off this issue?

E-Gads, Michelle!  The destruction of the American family and society as we know it is BORING?  You would think the collapse of America would at least get the heart beating a bit faster.

So the Christian Right lost on gay marriage. They've basically only succeeded in limiting abortion access in some of the country and there only for the very poor. What, at this point, are they trying to accomplish?

When you put it like that, it's almost like this is a group of people trying to conserve an idealistic, older society that never existed in the first place...

I'd agree with that characterization.  a marginal 'wedge' issue meant to get people riled up and divert attention from questions of political economy.

Obviously, the vast majority of society will accept gay marriage and attempt to punish anyone who dares call homosexuality a sin.  So, yes, it is getting real boring talking about it politically.  Only true-believers, you know, the ones who cling to their bibles and believe it is the "Word of God" will continue to oppose gay marriage.

Michele Bachmann's face is boring. No wonder only a gay man would go for her.

Acceptance of gay marriage is not going to usher in the collapse of America; rather the acceptance is a sign that America has already collapsed morally.  Acceptance of gay marriage is not a cause, rather is a symptom.  IMHO, of course.

It's always a huge confidence boost when SoCons say that our mere existence has the power to destroy a country Smiley

Yeah, this basically means complete, unilateral surrender. We won this one, I guess.

I wouldn't empty quote this and say "we" since I was not in favor of SSM until two years ago, but yeah, the good side has won here and that marriage equality is not a matter of "if" but "when."
