Constitutional genius Lawrence Lessig weighs in on the absurdity and insanity of California’s Proposition 8, in a clear and logical way.
Unfortunately, a reasoned and logical argument has no impact at all on people who rail against same-sex marriage — or gay people in general — because their prejudices are not based on any logic or reason. They cannot be swayed because they base their bigotry on what they believe magical, powerful beings want and ridiculous superstition; on an irrational hatred of people who are different than them. Talking to a wall won’t make the wall move.
