Op-Ed: Calling the Christianist Bluff [in Utah]
From Andrew Sullivan at The Daily Dish:
Well, it served a purpose of a sort in Utah. The Republican leadership long insisted they were not anti-gay, that they were eager to find some legal protections for gay couples unable to marry, and were solely concerned with the “redefinition” of the word “marriage”. And every single bill to add some semblance of protection for gay couples and people was killed.
…
It’s not about protecting marriage; it’s about treating gay citizens and their relationships with contempt. At least Equality Utah has now proven that. And that is indeed a useful and clarifying thing.
