"This is the fundamental point that the religious advocates of Proposition 8 fail to comprehend. Like other citizens, they are free in our society to support laws because they believe those laws serve legitimate ends, including such values as tradition, general conceptions of morality, and family stability. But they are not free - not if they are to act as faithful American citizens - to impose their religious views on others. That is, quite simply, un-American."
-- Geoffrey R. Stone, in an essay on The Huffington Post delineating the line between the role of the church and the state. Preaching to the choir, however, will not temper the The-People-Have-Spoken crowd.
