The conservative Family Foundation said in a statement that gay rights groups are “willing to frighten and mislead their supporters simply to further their own political agenda.” (read more)

Um, yeah, they’ve got that backwards. Since when does extending a right to increase equality frighten anyone with a functioning brain? It’s the conservative side in this mess that is more than “willing to frighten and mislead their supporters simply to further their own political agenda.” Which group is out there saying that the world will end in a hail of fire, and the earth will swallow the people, and the beasts will have the run of the earth if Adam gets to marry the proverbial (and oh-so-clever) Steve? I mean seriously. Equal marriage rights will provide a number of benefits to society:

  • Once equal rights are granted, advocates will quit yelling about them and the crazy-rightists can go back to ignoring the issue (“Sedgwick, I don’t see any of the homosexuals with signs outside anymore, they must have stopped existing”)
  • More stable families to adopt children (check the statistics…)
  • More (higher) incomes paying into Social Security
  • The ability to tell people that America actually embraces the idea of equality that we were founded on
  • Fabulous weddings
  • …and many more
