Good read.
I am not sure I would give that much credit for the turn around in public opinion to Carrie Prejean, but I give her lots of credit for taking a stand on the issue in front of a hostile crowd of judges. She had to know nearly all the judges would be huge pro-gay marriage supporters.
For the sake of the nation's survival, I sincerely hope this is true.
I pseudo-blogged this odious subject until I just burned out:

But here is the Money Quote:

“Here’s actor John Barrowman on what it really means:
‘It’s been a long wait but we legitimised our relationship to each other a long time ago when we signed our mortgages together and this is just something that forces people who don’t want to recognise it that they have to.’
No room for misquote there then. Yes, indeed. It was never about folks solemnly waiting for the State to endorse their lifestyles, it was always about using the power of Big Government to impose their lifestyle on third parties”
Sure did!
Showed us what BALLS were like!
The King has NO clothes!!!
Just goes to show: never underestimate the impact one person can make, nor the impact from one principled conscientious stand for what one believes to be right.
The problem is that you still have judges who want gay marriage and don’t care a whit about public opinion. That and liberal State legislatures who are only too happy to comply with their decrees.
What’s scary though is the breakdown of this issue among age groups.

A lot of people took the side of the perverted homosexuals out of fear. As we have seen repeatedly if anyone that speaks out against the perversion of homosexuality pays dearly.
If what the perverted homosexuals chant about the perverted homosexuality lifestyle choice is so good. Then why the need to use fear to push it?
(Former) Bishop Chilstrom wrote (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2304933/posts):
“I’d like to share my perspective on the fundamental issues that are raised in the CORE Letter and invite you — if you wish — to reply. I’m open to seeing things from a perspective that may not have occurred to me.
“If you asked those in this generation if our stance on homosexuality kept them away or drove them to another denomination they would probably look at you and wonder where you’ve been in the last couple of decades. . .
“Are we in the ELCA on our way to becoming a minority people in an alien culture? Possibly so.”
Perhaps the new-think in this article will be just in time for all the delegates and ELCA members who adjust their theology after holding their finger up to see where the wind is coming from!
12There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death. Pr 14
OOPS! Here I go again, listening to Scripture for God’s perfect, loving instruction for living, even though the bishop also asserts:
“So we have to ask – as we did with the role of women and the place of divorced persons — if a collection of a few verses is the last word. Or is Christ saying something different to us at this moment in the history of the church?”
Follow the money. If legally married partner is eligible for benefits. How much does that cost taxpayers for state/fed employees?
I think that as the homo-leftists, in their drunken frenzy of imagined power, carelessly continue their in-your-face, outrageous actions, that the general public - even those who have tried not to pay attention out of disgust - will become fully aware of their agenda to shove their value system on everyone. I hope people wake up and push back hard.
