My support for gay marriage is not because I want to prove I'm "more righteous than thou."
My support for gay marriage is entirely because I know two guys named David and Barry who've been together for nearly 30 years and are one of the most committed couples I know, even through all sorts of caring-for-aging-and-dying-parents crap in recent years, and I therefore cannot think of any good reason WHATSOEVER that those two should not be allowed to get married.

Ever go to flag something but you haven't had enough coffee and you accidentally favorite instead and you're all "NO NO NONONO NONO" as you try to unfavorite it as quickly as possible?

What we have here is the casual affirmation of a double standard: tolerance towards supporters of gay marriage, and intolerance towards opponents of gay marriage.
Oh, good grief. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. GAH.

spiked is an independent online phenomenon dedicated to raising the horizons of humanity by waging a culture war of words against misanthropy, priggishness, prejudice, luddism, illiberalism and irrationalism in all their ancient and modern forms. spiked is endorsed by free-thinkers such as John Stuart Mill and Karl Marx, and hated by the narrow-minded such as Torquemada and Stalin. Or it would be, if they were lucky enough to be around to read it.
Oh. That explains it.
