I paraphrase from The Daily Beast: Okay, so maybe gay marriage wasn’t really about creating equality within the institution of marriage. And yes, all that stuff about “how does gays getting married change your marriage” was a smoke-screen. Because marriage is probably going to change. A lot. But don’t worry–it’ll be great!
As Lando once said, this deal is getting worse all the time.

It all ends in tears. These arrangements usually do.

This was all easily predicted some 10 years ago when the Catholic Church was run out of the adoption business in Massachusetts because the Church stuck to some strange idea of what composed a family.
Remember the reaction from the pro-gay marriage quarter that while they disagreed with the Catholics that the Church should be allowed to continue as they see fit?
Yeah I have a hard time remembering that too… however I do remember a lot of writing by Sullivan and others about how introduction of same sex marriage could usefully loosen notions of monogamy in traditional marriages.
This kind of bait and switch is older than Alinsky, think Lenin and Gramisci. The idea of same sex marriage was sold as simply as an extension of traditional marriage, and those are some pretty nice (and sincere) couples in the newspaper, but I don’t think there is alot thought on where all of this leads.
