> the idea that they're "coming for gay marriage" is ridiculous. It would be less ridiculous if a conservative Supreme Court Justice and a Republican US Senator hadn't just expressed their intention to do just that. No one would be worried about the prospect if the party wasn't explicitly telegraphing the desire to come after these rights. Pretending that these concerns are ridiculous is to pretend that what Supreme Court Justices and US Senators say has no weight. In fact, they have power and they've proven they are not afraid to use it.
