We have the ones who "freak out" about gays, and the ones who ignore us. Sometimes, I think the latter is worse.

We've come a long way but we still have a long way to go.

for example, my first reaction/comment was you've got to be kidding, Gay marriage in the USA?

I'm old enough to remember it considered to be a grave mental disorder, something relegated to highly mentally disturbed individuals lurking in the dark corners of life, relegated to institutions, excessive shock therapy, institutional tortures and the like.

Damn, when I was a kid just jerking off was considered very dangerous to ones mental health, blindness and the whole bit, and that was in the northeast near major cities.

Yep, we have come a long way, and still a long way to go.

And he did in 1990! But even then, I thought to myself marriage would only be a dream.

Sure there is a stay on gay marriage here, but we are that much closer! Then again, who knows because some lawmakers here freaked out so bad now they are trying to do away with all marriage.
