The following is an excerpt from the article highlighted at the bottom of this entry and I would recommend that the piece be read in its entirety...it says something about the quality of worldviews in our society.
The conformism around gay marriage cannot be put entirely down to handfuls of campaigners, of course, and certainly not to any conscious attempt on their part to enforce political and moral obedience. The fragility of society’s attachment to traditional marriage itself, to the virtue of commitment, has also been key to the formulation of the gay-marriage consensus. Indeed, it is the rubble upon which the gay-marriage edifice is built. That is, if lawyers, politicians and our other assorted “betters” have successfully kicked down the door of traditional marriage, it’s because the door was already hanging off its hinges, following years of cultural neglect.
It is society’s reluctance to defend traditional views of commitment, and its relativistic refusal more broadly to discriminate between different lifestyle choices, that has fuelled the peculiar non-judgmental tyranny of the gay-marriage campaign, which judges harshly those who dare to judge how people live.http://www.mercatornet.com/articles/view/breathtaking_conformity
