The homophobes have realized this, but America's blindness to anything outside it's borders has become their new weapon.
Look at what's been happening in other countries. As much as one might point a finger at their internal politics, there's something a bit more insidious at work here. It seems a lot of the gay hating groups have specifically targeted countries that, frankly, probably didn't put much thought into "the gay" until they came along. Now, one country after another is being convinced to target homosexuals with all sorts of laws. Recently, with the olympics, Russia is in the news more than others, but their terrible laws are shockingly tame compared to what's going on in places like Uganda.
America's sliding into a progressive attitude towards gay rights. At this point, it is inevitable. However, now it has entered the world wide stage and the wrong groups have made the preemptive strike on this ground.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
