That all depends on which side you're on.

Q&A: Carmen Fowler LaBerge: I'm going to say it -- the battle for marriage is lost

By David M. Drucker | September 15, 2014 | 5:00 am

....
Examiner: You’ve concluded that the marriage battle has been won by the supporters of legalized same-sex unions?

Fowler LaBerge: Correct. We are beginning to make a more clear distinction between the cultural view of same-sex marriage and what a specific church continues to be free to do or not do. When I say that the battle’s been lost culturally, I think that what we’re recognizing is we have a to do a better job inside the church before the church starts trying to speak again to the culture at large on this issue.

1. Ha ha!

Take that, silly 'phobes!

2. Yes, because SSM opposition is completely indefensible.

I suppose if you are promoting the interests of an organization that literally worships a cruel and sadistic deity who arbitrarily punishes the creatures he created, then some kind of argument could be devised.

But no mainstream organized religion of which I'm aware claims to believe in such a deity - and in fact, most all of them claim that they 'love' love love love . So yeah, they lost this battle before it had even started.
