In case you needed a reminder why traditional conservatives are nobody’s friend, take a look at what they want to do to the Constitution, to privacy rights, and to marriage as we know it (i.e. a union between two people that love each other–how do you know it?), in order to legally enshrine their irrational hatred for homosexuals. Andrew Sullivan has the goods on the Old Right’s desperate attempts to prevent the inevitable: the legalization of gay marriage, which within a generation, two at the outside, will be a fait accompli. In essence, they’re willing to give any random pair of people all the benefits of civil union, and are apparently willing to spend God knows what resources monitoring those pairs for any sign of sexual behavior, simply to avoid the civilization-destroying horror of letting two men or two women who love each other get legally wed. And they want to amend the Constitution to do it.
Like I said: these people are not on your side, America.
