I have opposed gay marriage from the beginning.
I simply recognize that this particular battle has been lost, and that continuing to fight it will cause defeats in other battles that could otherwise be won.
There is some chance of creating a cultural turnaround that would eventually permit the battle to be fought over. But at the present time it is counter-productive to continue to fight.
In the immortal words of Vinegar Joe, “I claim we got a hell of a beating. We got run out of Burma and it is humiliating as hell. I think we ought to find out what caused it, go back and retake it.”
But you will note he didn’t refuse to retreat from Burma when that was appropriate.
You opposed gay marriage from “the beginning” and now you agitate on a conservative forum for a position that supports it.
Since it just barely got created as an issue and Obama just put it into the military, federal employment and immigration and foreign policy, etc, how long was your hard fought opposition to it before you started working on us on behalf of it?
