We are still a political football.

States Renew Fight to Stop Same-Sex Marriage

The 'sanctity of marriage' people are still at it and now, their pride wounded as well as their intelligence, they are fighting back. The skirmishes of a retreat.

The fact is that in a lot of places gay marriage is a handy issue for the haters.

The idea that my marriage to John in anyway endangers the marriage of my neighbors (the straight ones) is ludicrous.

The problem is that there is no place to put one's hands on the issue that will work. The deflated football!

Demagogue material.

I won't even bring out the older and probably more correct old saw that a homophobe is nothing but a man scared of his own sexuality. It isn't even necessary to explore one of these closets. It doesn't matter. They are probably "agin' that sex stuff" whether it is gay or straight or upside down (not a bad position actually).

The thing is that some of these people are not rubes and ignoramuses. They are opportunistic zombies feasting on the body of a dead issue to gain some political traction with the knuckle draggers.

What is sad is that there are enough knuckle draggers to help these bastards out at the polls.
