text: I wasn't thinking of any national figures, rather people right here on this thread. The notion seems to be if you can't get on the bandwagon of marriage equality, you don't deserve to be part of society. 
  No one has attempted to answer: 1) how anyone - gay or straight - is better off because the state gov has said your marriage rocks. 2) what is wrong with allowing a sub-set of society, call them old fashioned if you like, they won't mind, to define marriage the way it has been defined for thousands of years.
  And why not keep fighting, this time for polyamorous marriage?
