Balderdash.
I fight intolerance by not giving it the attention it craves.
If that makes me ignorant, then I wear the badge proudly.

See, I know way more about the discussion of the issue than you do.

I don't need the opinion of a "prominent, extremely gay, American academic" to try and sway my conclusion that denying a homosexual couple the same right to marry as a heterosexual couple is wrong. I can think for myself, and I need only personal life experience to proclaim that ANY inequality in a land of "sophisticates" is a travesty and an injustice.
I'm sure if given enough time and resources, people could come up with convincing arguments intent on shattering society's views on a myriad of controversial topics. For example:
- Eugenics
- Ethnic Cleansing
- Pederasty
- Zoophilia/Bestiality
- Vigilantism
- Abortion
- Racism
- Sexism
- Fluoride
At some point, one has to put their foot down and say 'no farther, we will not hear any more on this topic. We've made our decision and that's final.'
On the topic of same-sex marriage, that point needs to be now. Homosexuals deserve to have every single privilege that heterosexuals do in terms of matrimonial partnerships.
