The light is dim. A 5-4 "victory" in Washington state about judge made law regarding gay marriage, is cold comfort to me, and I support gay marriage as a policy matter. But to do it by judicial fiat is execrable, and the idea that it is getting so much judicial support is profoundly disturbing, but then it is part of a pattern of the robes thinking they know better than the masses about social policy, the ballot box be damned.

Why do you support changing what the institute of marriage has meant throughout the history of civilization? I can think of no positive reason why marriage should be open to anything other than a man and a woman. How does gay marriage advance society?
