On the Marriage Theme
It seems that Christian ministers can't figure out why their parishioners are not all fired up about gay marriage. Somehow, the intense outrage and protests against the immanent threat to heterosexual marriage as we know it has not quite materialized. Some of them are blaming the war for distracting people's attention, but others note that:
Pew Research Center pollster Michael Dimock said it is clear from the surveys that gay marriage is an issue of great intensity to a small number of people, mainly opponents. But, he said, "I have a sneaking suspicion that this is not an issue many people want to stay worked up about. ... You don't hear Bush talking about it very often. He talks about it once every few months, then drops it. ... ."
Basically, most people don't care about gay marriage as long as they don't have to hear about it all the time.
