You apparently don't want to deal with reality, and that's fine. But the margin here is getting narrower with time, not wider. I don't think there's any room for it to narrow further.

It got narrower from 2000 to 2008, yes. That doesn't mean it inevitably gets smaller, or reverses. I don't think it's as dire as you say, and what you say is certainly not "reality."
You folks talk like it's inevitable, which is as much a fantasy as anything I'm saying.

As I ponder what has happened in this whole prop 8 episode, it seems to me that we set out to define society, and in the end we only defined ourselves.

Oh, that's deep.
