Well, all of those issues are still out there, being addressed and debated every moment of every day (including the last, most important one that you list ). You'll notice that the country hasn't stopped in its tracks yet because of this subject.
But it's snowballing very quickly, every day another State seems to get on the bandwagon. To the people out there who want what they want when they want it, there are NO other issues, NO other concerns.
While other things are important, somebody out there has got to have the balls to take this on. The President and a very few in the Senate have started, but they need support and they're not getting it. It's a sad, sad day...

Bill O'Reilly may have been exaggerating the other day, but wasn't too far off the mark when he stated last week that if the tide turns against protecting the definition of marriage, 10 years from now, somebody could marry a duck if they felt like it.
