That's what America is worried about!

That's probably what happened to Natalie Holloway.

No wonder we're concerned.

2. I'm afraid we keep missing the point on this...
It doesn't matter or not whether the majority of Americans are concerned about gay marriage or if they are for or against it. What matter is that the small percentage who are are VERY concerned about it and VERY likely to get and out and vote. If we keep pointing to the fact that the majority of americans don't care about this or that they agree with us on most issues, without recognizing the fact that the ones against us on these issues who DO care about this stuff are very motivated to vote, without finding some sort of counter motivation for our side, then we'll continue to have issues.

3. Yes, I know, but it makes a great "wedge issue", which is the really sad
part of it all.
