3. So there are still Neanderthals in the world

Not the politicians that keep gay marriage from being legal, the people who blindly follow those politicians no matter fucking-what. Gay marriage is an easy thing to get said Neanderthals all riled up about, and voting for said politicians. It's like abortion: Republican pols don't give a rat's ass about it, but it's a great wedge issue to get the base marching in line regardless of all the other things Republicans will pass to fuck over their base. Gay marriage has the same value to them.

Hope that helps.
