Gay marriage
A couple other friends have weighed in on this so I figured I'd throw in my take (inspired by Adam Carolla) :
Gay marriage - it's like this: I'm in Atlanta. I'm very aware of the Braves and the Hawks. I'm a fan of them; I love going to their games. Sports teams in any other city are really not on my radar. I don't boycott them, and I don't contact my congressman to prevent them from playing. Why? Because how, when and how well they play doesn't really affect me, personally, at all. I think the same is true of most people who want laws passed boycotting gay marriage- they don't want similar laws passed for sports teams in other cities- but they don't make this connection. It would be absurd for me to be morally against other sports teams, or other teams in general that don't affect me. Next time you're chatting with someone who is against gay marriage, ask them why they don't want legislation banning sports teams in other cities. Or if you are such a person, ask yourself that and please get right back to me.
