The GOP can use this to their advantage. But the GOP leadership is stuck on stupid.

No one’s denying them the right to get married. They merely need to find someone of the opposite sex to wed.

This should be taught as a example of creeping incrementalism . Way back when government first started getting involved in regulating a sacred ritual this battle was as good as lost .

This is nothing more than to destroy marriage. Next will be legalizing polygamy and group marriage. Will marriage to a pet be far behind? Weakening marriage will greatly harm our society as can be concluded from the Russian experiment of the late 1930s and early 1940s.

Precisely. The goal is to destroy Western Civilization by any means necessary.
This issue is merely a means to an end.

What if you couldnt marry the person you loved?So what if the person happens to 'love' a 10-year-old? Should we make that legal just because?

nonsense.
“way back” there was no government recording of who was married. You only had family bibles, church records, and often times, NOTHING. (not to mention the inheritance fraud) The government involvement has NOTHING to do with ritual. In fact all you need do is sign the dotted line at the marriage license window together and you are legally married with no “ritual”.
This is about ENDORSING a specific sexual ACT. This is about deinstitutionalizing the family unit.
That has nothing to do with whether or not the government. merely records a marriage.

proponents will launch a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign... And if that doesn't work, proponents can just go on doing what they've been doing for the last few decades: changing the climate by nibbling away using TV programs, hollyweird movies, propaganda in public schools, etc.

Truly, I don't see what the hoo-hah is about. Well, I do in that gays are wanting to be "normalized", but from the pro-gay marriage standpoint, there's nothing to see here.
If you look at marriage as a legal contract, then there's absolutely no benefit that a marriage conveys, that can't be obtained legally with a little forethought (wills, "next of kin", inheritance, etc).
If you look at marriage as a religious contract (as I do) then...unless you are arrogant enough to re-write God's word, then there's nothing in the Bible that says "Marriage is between a Man and a Woman, unless you happen to disagree with that." End of story, as far as I'm concerned.
So, IMHO, all this boils down to is gays bellowing at the top of their lungs that "They're just like us, except different."

It is actually a direct talking point of Prof. Lakoff’s ‘winning with words’.
His propaganda advise is to eliminate the concept of children in marriage and ONLY talk about “marriage is about two people who loooove each other and are committed to a relationship.”
IOW Prof. Lakoff is substituting hedonistic satisfaction to marriage is an institution which society requards because it benefits society.
This ad campaign is urging marriage be defined by an sexual acts of adults.
