So it's been a terrible day for gay marriage. Oregon's results will tell if there's a clean sweep. That's unfortunate, especially because same-sex marriage is not a threat to the sanctity of marriage. It's just not.

At the same time, I don't know what good people protesting the denial of that right can do in San Francisco. On the way home, the 24 line bus was stopped at Castro and 18th Streets and an attempt was made to forcibly detour us. They were blocking half the street with a truck and the other half with people. As we tried to get through the intersection, the "protesters" (if the vast majority of people around you agree with you, are you really protesting?) were banging on the bus and the bus driver was yelling at them to get out of the street. It was . . . stupid.

They weren't going to annoy people enough to go, "I'm not supporting gay marriage anymore!" But at the same time, it never helps when supporters and sympathizers think your cause is being trumpeted by idiots.
