Frankly, I see gay marriage as threatening to neither my life nor the foundations of my society, and am fine with it. But, personally I'm not passionate about the issue, doubt that enough Americans want to push this particular boulder up the hill in an election year, and find no joy in anticipating Bush/Cheney/Bauer/GOPluminarytobenamedhere using it as a club to beat the shit out of whomever the Democrats nominate.

To the contrary, and much along the lines of the Slate article you quoted earlier, it is the Republicans who should be getting the shit beat out of them over this issue. How can anyone claim to be in favor of family values and a strong community structure be opposed to the formal recognition of two people who love each other as a societal unit? It is as hypocritical as being anti-abortion and pro-death penalty.
