First Anniversary of Gay Marriage

It's been one year since Massachusetts ushered in gay marriage. The LA Times has a fairly lengthy article on its effects, including galvanizing the rest of America against it. Link. Here's one excerpt we found revealing:

Matt Foreman, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force in Washington, says "same-sex marriage had provided his opponents 'a wonderful organizing opportunity, because they are able to exploit so many people's lack of understanding about gay people, and their visceral feelings about the institution of marriage.' But Foreman said Massachusetts might be its own best advertisement for the harmlessness of same-sex marriage. In the last year, he noted, 'nobody in the Legislature who supported gay marriage lost their jobs, and the Boston Red Sox won the World Series. And the crops came up, and the locusts stayed away.'

One whole year? Wow, that's a thorough sociological test period. How long has it taken for the effects of rampant divorce to be acknowledged? Thirty years?

It's just further testimony of what sane people have noted for years: the "progressives" have a remarkably limited historical perspective. When they refer to discrimination against homosexuals in "this day and age," they mean "in light of loosening morals in the past forty years." They rarely recognize that the past forty years is a mere speck of dust on the big cloth that is Western civilization.
