Is fighting off the amendment an added burden for gay rights proponents? You may respond to my previous post by saying that the fight against the amendment is only adding to the burden of those who are fighing for gay marriage in the courts and in the political sphere. But I think fighting off the amendment will put the gay rights movement in a more positive light, fending off an attack that will be made to look mean-spirited. Public opinion will be shaped in a new context, in which the majority is rising up against an underdog group--and marring the Constitution in the process.
