That's too easy. If there is no obvious villain trying to deprive their fellow Americans of their rights, then the aggrieved classes have no one to blame but their own inability to make their case to the masses.

And, it is alot easier to hide behind a couple of big mouth know-it-all celebrities, who like to blame everyone else (insert - Melissa Ethridge, Ellen, Rosie, et al), than it is to actually take some personal responsibility for your plight.

You can't be a victim if there is no boogeyman.

Maybe some people also mask their own objections to it by stating religious reasons. It is much easier to say it is against my religion than it is to say it repulses me.

Finally, some truth and clarity.

I never put all the blame on religious fanatics. It is a major factor though, IMO. I know there are a lot of people who just flat out can't stand the sight of a gay or lesbian couple. This isn't going to reduce the number of gay people in this world though.

At the end of the day it is just unfortunate for those who are affected by this.

Sorry bud, I didn't meant to imply that you did.

Someone said something funny on the radio the other day. The guy said.

"Banning gay marriage isn't fair, these guys have every right to be just as miserable as me!"
