When I was discussing this with Liss earlier, she respoded: "If it's not, it's only because there hasn't been enough forward (ho)momentum in terms of actually legalizing same-sex marriage (as opposed to the surge in public support for it) to justify calling this a backlash. Grumble. Spit. Snarl. It's more like a bunch of bigoted fucks thrashing around desperately in anticipation of losing a battle they were never going to win anyway."

Yeah, that about says it all.
