Can we all agree to a New Year's Resolution? Can we drop marriage as "the issue" for 2009? Let me be clear... I know we have to fight the fight against amendments in the places that don't have them yet. But we've always known this issue wasn't ripe and that it was pushed in some places before others were ready. The amendments were the backlash and they've been brutal.

But it seems to me that, as a movement, we've been putting too many of our eggs in the marriage basket. Marriage is not the be-all end-all of LGBT rights. It's not even on the radar of, what I believe to be, a pretty large swath of the LGBT community.

Like focus on the issues that the two kids with a picket fence in the suburbs 'oh god we're so ->-bleeped-<-ing normal it hurts' crowd can't get beyond?  Good luck.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...
