It's not all bad Locobot. Here in Texas we shot down the ban before they even got a chance to vote on it, and we're not exactly liberal.
What I think it is is one big backlash against the suddenly overt trend of homosexuality. Just as the 80s prep or punk were backlashes to the hippy movement. Grunge as a backlash to the leotards and giant hair of the 80s rock. You see where I'm going.
Give it time, the bible pounders will find other things to scream about, and people will come to their senses, I'm sure of it.
