This article presents the author's views on the issue of gay marriage in the U.S. According to the author modern lesbian and gay rights movement has a history of stumbling into battles it is ill prepared to fight. Gays in the military had barely been a blip on the radar screens of most mainstream gay groups until persistent pressure from gay people in the military led to a presidential promise of acceptance and then a highly organized and effective right-wing backlash. As it was with the military, so it is now with same-sex marriage.
