Liberals are routinely counter-intuitive, where most people with any common sense would see if they're in a losing position would either meld it to more meet the consensus or would at least not keep digging the hole of trying to force everyone to go along with them.
To quote Michael Savage, "liberalism is a mental disorder".
In a democracy, it is the responsibility of government, at all levels, to protect and defend the rights of all citizens, including the rights of legitimate minority representations.
But this can not and should not always be done at the expense of the larger public interest and larger public good!
The gay movement, for years, has been protected, defended AND promoted, NOT just by individuals, but by government, often at the expense of that public interest and public good.
Until there is some kind of sensible reversal on the part of many governments in our nation, state, local, county, municipal and of course federal, our beloved nation is heading towards a terrible meltdown!
The liberals are not losing the culture war. This skirmish is a test to determine the new outer limits of their control. Don’t be fooled, look at the research on public opinion, this war is lost.
