At Least Gays Have Connecticut, Massachusetts

So yesterday, state-recognized gay weddings began in Connecticut. I guess I should be excited. And I am happy about it, but it's tempered with the reality that all this could be reversed at any time. Why get all invested then?

There are a lot of gay activists out there who admonish the rest of us to stay the course, stay calm and soon and very soon, gay marriage will be the law of the land. California is just a setback, they say. But it's the same old, same old. CT and MA could very well be setbacks if the right proposition gets on the ballot! What about all those states that already have anti-gay language written into their constitutions? Those have to be overturned, right? Yeah, piece of cake.

I'll rejoice with those CT couples rushing to the wedding chapel, but they'd better hold onto this wedded bliss for as long as they can. It could disappear in the blink of an eye.
