I think you've summed that up pretty well. I really would join you in the shadows there if I thought it would help. It's not fun to see that a couple of weird guys are getting married and such, but I can't stop them and I'm certainly not going to let them wreck my life. Eventually, they'll figure it out, I suppose. Like I think I said the other day, I'm old enough now to know that my opinion on everything doesn't matter. I prefer to concentrate my efforts on things that I can change. If I could change the 14th Amendment to make it clearly state what I want it to say and nothing more, I would. But, I can't. Even its authors couldn't. It's like the weather now. Things almost have to turn out better than you're predicting.
I like you and I just don't like to see you suffer over things that you really can't do anything about. Your cardiologist, if you have one yet, wants you to smile more. ;-)
I am reminded of what that German General thought when he saw chocolate among the American rations he captured. (Battle of the Bulge) He realized what it meant. That we had so much excess capacity that we could ship treats to our men.
What "Gay" marriage means, is that the law doesn't mean anything, and it won't protect us when they decide to stage the latest version of Kristallnacht.

Yeah, I want to smile more too, but it's hard to focus on merriment when real threats exist and the cordon of safety just keeps tightening.
And for what it's worth, I like you too.
