Once you hear the details of victory, it is hard to distinguish it from a defeat." — Jean Paul Sartre

The past two days I've read one article and listened to conservative George Will announce that Republicans will have to give up their opposition to gay rights and start focusing on things that are truly their core issues. Marriage, something that wasn't on the radar six years ago, is being pushed forward at warp speed and seeming to gain widespread media and even increasing political support – if not necessarily public majority as yet. Even a gay friend of mine sounded practically chirpy about the bright prospects of true equality being imminent.
