GAY RIGHTS BACKLASH

A new USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll shows a backlash on gay issues following the recent Supreme Court decision striking down a Texas sodomy law:
Asked whether same-sex relations between consenting adults should be legal, 48% said yes; 46% said no. Before this month, support hadn't been that low since 1996.

That's good to see, but I still believe the fundamental battle on special rights for homosexuals has been lost. I do think Hollywood is overplaying its hand, however, with the ubiquity of homosexuality in tv and movies. We'll find out soon with shows such as 'Boy Meets Boy'. Some people literally know no shame.
