I think what's happened in San Francisco and Massachusetts lately is wonderful, except for the inevitable backlash. At this point, I don't have a good sense as to whether the folks supporting gay marriage are going to provoke a constitutional amendment that will enshrine bigotry as the law of the land, or whether what we're seeing is the leading edge of social change that will outpace the efforts of the forces of sentimentality and regression to keep pace. Things have already changed so much in recent years.* What's going to happen?
*Bonus points to anyone who illustrates a post on this subject with a hot picture of Britney and Madonna, if any
