@Skydweller: Re: Indiana, WTF?
Skydweller,
yup, that is it in a nutshell, they really are that narrow minded, bigoted f'wits.
I can also relate to this as my (American) mother-in-law genuinely thinks that anyone that isn't married and doesn't have 2.24 kids is surely the spawn of the devil.
And if they are in any way at all A BIT QUEER, then OMG her reaction is a sight to behold.
As to who benefits, well the bigots probably take it as a reaffirmation that they are right (and therefore normal), and the rest of the world can figuratively (and to their minds, hopefully too) go to hell...
Of course ~7% of them and their kids are queer, not that they would acknowledge that of course...
Cheers,
j
