“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

More on gay marriage

What's that you say? Treating gay people as equals aids their mental health? Get out.

But that's exactly what the American Psychiatric Association says:
The psychiatric association's statement was approved by voice vote on the first day of its weeklong annual meeting in Atlanta. It cites the "positive influence of a stable, adult partnership on the health of all family members."

The resolution recognizes "that gay men and lesbians are full human beings who should be afforded the same human and civil rights," said Margery Sved, a Raleigh, N.C., psychiatrist and member of the assembly's committee on gay and lesbian issues.

The idea of a healthy, stable family is good for everyone. Including homosexuals. Go figure.

Oh, speaking of homosexuality, here's a quote from a pastor hosting an event where they try and "cure" homosexuality (presented by James Dobson, of course). After reading the quote, guess the name of the event:
Reph said that letting children "choose" homosexuality "would be like letting them choose murder or adultery" because it is "not God's way of life."

Yep, if your child is gay, you've just committed murder and cheated on your spouse. Smooth move, buddy.

The name of the event? "Love Won Out," of course.
