At some point, proponents of gay marriage are going to take the Federal Defense of Marriage Act to the SCOTUS.
I'm sick and tired of seeing religious people argue against gay marriage based on all this sophistry about harm to society. THere's only one "principled" argument against gay marriage--it's a sin and God will punish our society like he did S&G. Religious people need to suck up and make that argument or get behind gay marriage. Cowards.
