I saw this gem in the Washington Post today: Foes Confounded by Limited Outcry Against Gay Marriage

A few snippets:

Across the country, evangelical Christians are voicing frustration and puzzlement that there has not been more of a political outcry since May 17, when Massachusetts became the first state to issue same-sex marriage licenses.

*snip*

...Evangelical leaders contend that the outrage is out there. They say it has not been felt in Washington because defenders of traditional marriage are still in shock, or are focused on winning state constitutional amendments against same-sex marriage, or are distracted by the war in Iraq and other issues.

It's worth a read. It goes on to talk about the efforts of conservative church leaders to rally their congregants against the concept of gay marriage. They're hoping that when the amendment comes up for vote in the congress, people will be more interested in the issue, or something like that.

I think that this means people don't care that much about what other people do in bed, at least not as much as the Church does and wants people to. That, and like it says in the article, people are more concerned about important things, like that the US has the highest child poverty rate of any industrialized country, or about the economy, or the war in Iraq.

J thinks that it's about the congress-critters who are up for election--they don't want to rock the boat until after the elections this November.

You can draw your own conclusions.
