It’s pretty common knowledge that the public opinion on same-sex marriage has shifted greatly in the last four years. This has produced a happy case of schadenfreude with the Republican party, which not very long ago made gay marriage a primary issue to win elections by appealing to Evangelicals.

June 11, 2013 By 15 Comments
Mike Huckabee was talking on his show the other day about how all the things the anti-gay crowd had feared are starting to come true.
