Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Why Anti-Gay Politics Will Inevitably Fail:

Never mind that no one has ever made a coherent, much less compelling, argument for why allowing gays to get married will do anything whatsoever to damage heterosexual marriages. The anti-gay marriage position is not based on reason, it is based on bigotry. For all practical purposes, the opposition is a mob and you control mobs by appealing to their base emotions, by telling them who is to blame for the thing that outrages them. This playbook has been used time and time again throughout our history.
