I'm still not sure I'd even describe this as a "fight." In my conversations with principled conservatives on this subject, one of the most common attitudes I find is apathy or disinterest. I think there's a general recognition among a lot of these folks that the "fight" over marriage -- from a legal/political standpoint -- was lost decades ago. In fact, the general consensus among some of them is that they really don't care what anyone in a government office thinks about marriage at all.

It seems kind of silly, when you think about it: You've got homosexual activists clamoring for their "right" to be a part of an institution of marriage that has slowly lost favor among an increasing number of heterosexuals over the years.

This isn't about marriage. It's about using marriage to bludgeon all businesses, churches, schools, and clubs with Civil Rights law suits.

Also....Once gay marriage is enacted then it will be thoroughly integrated into **every** aspect of K-12 schooling. Bet on it! Within days of Massachusetts approving gay marriage the “ready-to-go” gay curriculum was on board in the government schools. And...Parents have no right to be informed or to object since it is now official law.

The problem is that it doesn’t stop with marriage. You are correct the fight began to be lost with losses in other areas. Losses against pornography and having it defined as “freedom of speech” helped set the stage. The radical feminism and the free love movement of the 60s made the transformation we see possible where it would never have had a chance in hell before. While some of the influence has waned for “feminists” they essentially achieved their goals in that most families if they are working families have two parents working almost exclusively outside the home for proportionally the same income and lifestyle that one parent used to be able to achieve not only do both parents work outside the home but they also often pay for single mothers through taxes to stay at home while the govt pays for those mothers to send their children to free daycare. So homosexuality and ssm isn’t the beginning of the fall the fall started long ago as common ideas about the family structure and decency were eroded.

Those that are apathetic need to wake up and start making themselves heard because the next phase coming is going to be even worse and strangely it appears too many of our neighbors are just fine with enabling the thought police empowered through govt to root out “homophobic bigots”. I wish that I could just unplug and not care. I could probably live the rest of my life and avoid the worst of it for me and my family but that would be a surrender not fit for anyone calling themselves a patriot. These are “fights” and our opposition most certainly looks at them in that light and its about time apathetic conservatives do too.
