More on gay marriage

I was struck by this one line from the referenced article:

"Yet even as gay activists celebrate their civil rights milestone -- achieving their first full measure of equality -- the new Massachusetts reality has set off a ferocious backlash across the country." (emphasis mine)

Um... are gay people denied jobs? Are gay people forced to sit in the back of public transportation? Are gay people forced to drink from other fountains or go to other bathrooms? Are gay people denied their right to vote?

I don't think so. So this idea that this is their first full measure of equality is nonsense. They gay marriage movement is not the same as the civil rights movement of the last century. It's an abomination of the memory of those that fought and died to bring legal equality among the races. Gay marriage is nothing but an attempt to further erode traditional values and another marker of our post-modern, apathetic, everything is morally equivalent culture.
