Polls show that support for gay marriage is dropping. Why? Are Americans becoming less "enlightened"? I don't think so.Which leads us to the greater story that is not being told: "Perez Hilton" is suffering the delayed effects of what he did last month to former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean.
While Mr. Lavandeira was busy plotting and executing the Christian beauty contestant's downfall, much of America was silently taking account of the beauty contest judge's relentlessness in destroying a woman whose crime was politely expressing the same opinion on gay marriage held by the president for whom Mr. Lavandeira campaigned.
Mr. Lavandeira was not satisfied with simply making sure Miss Prejean lost the Miss USA pageant. He needed to humiliate and destroy her publicly. He not only called her a term used to describe a female dog but also used a word that, by comparison, is akin to a nuclear attack. Yet no media outrage followed.*
What is happening is that the thuggish behavior of some of gay marriage's more vocal supporters is making the movement unpalatable.
When one hurls hateful vitriol at another over a difference of opinion, one loses. When one seeks to intimidate another over their choice of political support or freedom to vote one's conscience, the effect is creepy and chilling. (For the record, I am a supporter of civil unions for all.)
Very few Americans believe that any of their fellow citizens should have less rights than any other. But even less Americans support the bully, even when bullying is cloaked in the seemingly innocuous rainbow flag.
(*The "mainstream" media also did not cover the thuggery of the pro-gay-marriage factions in California - the threats of job losses, the hatespeech at churches - yet somehow, thankfully, the story still came out.)
