Yer point was understood from the start, Bounce. Hence the 'question is society ready' comment. But some people seem to be missing the point in terms of 'homosexuals wanting to integrate into mainstream marriage'. So the other side's point was in need of being highlighted.

But, to once again play 'devil's advocate' of sorts. Hasn't the American constitution been ammended before AGAINST the will of the majority? Could they not drag it through the storm of opposition that'd follow? Or is state of America too unstable (relatively at least) to do such a thing at this moment. With all that is going on and all..

Is the majority of people against all that well informed? Would you agree with extra education on homosexuality and marriage to help balance it out? And therefore maybe enable them to make 'better thought out' choices n opinions? Or is the stigma attached to all this going to make it a boundary virtually impossible to look past for so many?

And does all this suggest that the new legislation which'll give homosexuals rights, is a step TOWARDS mainstream marriage for them? And should be seen as going forward...building foundations before something on top? Patience is key? Crawl before run? Gradual rather than sudden?

Hmmmm
