How Gay Marriage Won [Time Magazine Puts Homosexual Kisses on Cover]
Time ^ | 3/28/13 | David von Drehle

...Yet no matter what the Justices decide after withdrawing behind their velvet curtain, the courtroom debate — and the period leading up to it — made clear that we have all been eyewitnesses to history. In recent days, weeks and months, the verdict on same-sex marriage has been rendered by rapidly shifting public opinion and by the spectacle of swing-vote politicians scrambling to keep up with it. With stunning speed, a concept dismissed even by most gay-rights leaders just 20 years ago is now embraced by half or more of all Americans, with support among young voters running as high as 4 to 1. Beginning with the Netherlands in 2001, countries from Argentina to Belgium to Canada — along with nine states and the District of Columbia — have extended marriage rights to lesbian and gay couples.

True, most of the remaining states have passed laws or constitutional amendments reserving marriage for opposite-sex partners. And Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, declares that the fight to defend the traditional definition is only beginning. “Our opponents know this, which is why they are hoping the Supreme Court will cut short a debate they know they will ultimately lose if the political process and democracy are allowed to run their course,” he said.

I just got back from the grocery, where I saw this magazine in the check out counter.

I covered it up with some other stupid rag....

Ironically, it might be good for this kind of stuff to be publicly smeared in people's faces, to wake them up to what's going on. NO sane person, especially with children, can see this and not be revolted.

Thought that Marxist rag was all digital now. Need to know if it’s safe to return to the dentist office.

Still not safe. Newsweak was the one that went all digital. Don’t miss them one bit. Time was looking at doing all digital but they’re sticking with the failed formula for now.

Proving once more (as if more proof were needed) that this has nothing to do with “rights” and everything to do with “in your face”.

No, it IS NOT embraced by more than half of the population.

This is a blatant LIE.


You keep telling yourself that, and the battle is truly lost.

Acknowledging reality is the first step to changing it. Otherwise we're Romney during Election Week, coasting because all those "un-skewed" polls told him he would win in a walk.

We didn’t need the damn picture, and this is in desperate need of a barf alert.

It's Time magazine. Everyone in America is going to see these covers prominently displayed the next time they go grocery shopping.
