Wow, stevo, I sincerely doubt it. There are lots of gays and lesbians who aren't interested in marriage personally--I know several in that category. To a one, they're passionate about having the RIGHT to marry if they chose to. To them, the ban on gay marriage is sort of like a ban on black marriage; it's patently discrimatory and based on an arbirtrary standard of how love "ought" to be.

What's hypocritical is a politician publically denouncing the lifestyle they're hiding. It's not the denunciation so much that's the problem (although that's a problem too): it's the hiding. The electorate doesn't like being lied to.
