So virtually ever human being who has ever lived has been hateful and bigoted (since virtually none of them have ever even considered the possibility of two men or two women marrying) until…thank God!…Roger L. Simon’s generation came along to bring light into the darkness!

[Trumpets, and Hosannas from the angelic choir]

If I were less polite, I might point out the appalling arrogance of that position.

Look, if you want to redefine marriage to include homosexual couplings, at least have the honesty and the guts to admit that you are calling for a radical change in the very concept of marriage, rather than trying to avoid debate with charges of bigotry.

Do that (and abandon efforts to impose this change without debate through the courts), and we can talk. Until then, we have nothing to talk about.
