I'm not sure why it brings up such passion, whether one is for or against it. I understand why someone could be on either issue and I can even understand it making a difference in who they vote for, but the degree people exaggerate it's importance is something I don't understand. It is like it is more than our foreign policy or taxation or whatever. Not saying it isn't important, but I think policy that impacts the entire nation is more important. It'd be nice if people fought as hard to get rid of the patriot act and government spying as they did to get the government to give a marriage license to two people of the same sex.
I am also a bit surprised how quickly public opinion has changed on it. Seems one of the fastest "civil rights" changes in history.
