they can be a dangerous time in some ways, but there isn t any question, look, let s look a t the question of marriage. it immediately becomes noncontroversial. we have problems where people vote on whether or not it should happen before it s happened. or a month or two after it s gone into effect. and the fear is the indoctrination you saw that poor kid getting. the democrats enacted same-sex marriage. the republicans said we re going to repeal it. after two years they said, what are you talking about? another is don t ask, don t tell. you remember. a year ago we were being told this would be a terrible blow with the cohesion of the american military. the don t ask/don t tell policy was repealed. openly gay people have been able to serve in the military, transgender people for month
