That might actually be a really valid point. I just don't know how to solve it.

So this is just my opinion, based on what I've read here and there, but for all the talk of the inevitable backlash also affecting LGB people, I'm not so sure that's going to happen based on what I've read. Don't get me wrong, there'll definitely be people who can't differentiate between gay people trying to live their lives and this madness, but I think those people wouldn't be particularly fond of gay people anyway, regardless of how they lived. Meanwhile the general tenor from a good portion of the conservative base nowadays seems to be "Well, you're one of those regular gay people. I don't care if you want to get married so long as you're not too loud about it". Which still isn't ideal, but it's better than the alternative that gay marriage might end up getting repealed.

I don't really get why the US keeps having these decisions hinge on court cases rather than actual legislation anyway, but that's another issue for another day
