Remember too that Republican presidents will have made this decision possible.
I think Ronnie Reagan got suckered by some California Chamber of Commerce types into nominating Anthony Kennedy after the Robert Bork blowup (another argument for borking Democrats whenever, wherever). Kennedy was coached and coddled by a closeted gay law professor at a law school the gay godfather founded himself (hmmm, guess he passed the ethics standards there </sarc>), and is a good example of gay "influence peddling" and associational propagandization.
I should imagine that Kennedy never saw any Pride Parades in his law-school prebends while he was there. This was, incidentally, the strategy advocated and preached by Hunter Madsen and Marshall Kirk in After the Ball, which was quite possibly the most evil book since Mein Kampf .... some of whose ideas the perpetrators grafted onto their own steaming pile of perverse comment and advice for subversive "movement" homosexuals.
