Don’t take gay marriage lying down

IT’S time for conservatives to take their cue from the New Jersey Nets, or maybe from those hard-luck kids, the Boston Red Sox. Only a few weeks ago, the victors in Lawrence v. Texas—the Supreme Court case that struck down a Texas law against sodomy—popped open the champagne and broke out the brie. The “Gay Pride” marchers were prouder than ever. “Gay families” are this season’s media darlings. Moral traditionalists are shocked (though not awed). Most sit on the sidelines, dispirited, towels draped over their heads, trying to ignore the on-field celebration. The White House is quiet. Other Republican leaders are “unavailable for comment.”

Enough already.
