I have already had my say on gay marriage, and it is safe to say I am agnostic. I would rather not have government involved in the whole marriage issue, but at the same time, I recognize why there are those who wish to codify marriage as between a man and a woman.
What I do find a little amusing is the blogger reactions. Hyperbole will be in overdrive on this issue for a while (as Jon Henke capably demonstrates).
*** Update ***
I might add, that in the big picture, this decision by Bush makes me less likely to vote for him in the general election. Not because I think he is a gay-basher, not because I think he is mean-spirited, but because this is the sort of thing that clearly shows a lack of priorities.
*** Update #2 ***
I note that I am not the only one who seems to think this is reflective of a clear lack of priorities, as Michele and Alex Knapp state their similar opinions. BTW- I remember when Alex started blogging, and he just keeps getting better and better.

(site pimp) Hey, I like my take.

Andrew Sullivan is really going Krugmanesque over this whole thing, isn’t he?
I’m particularly struck by his “Rally the troops, overthrow the King” tone. What the hell did you expect, Andrew? It’s part of the damned GOP PLATFORM.

Sorry…didn’t see your update till after I’d added my comment. Thanks for the link…very kind of you.

What?
Sullivan is using hyperbole? You don’t say….:)

It’s been fun watching Andrew Sullivan’s sudden realization that he’s gay and that this might be relevant to his politics.

I guess you haven’t been watching him for more than a few milliseconds, then.
