Missing Links

From Dispatches From The Culture Wars:

In the creation/evolution debate, the religious right loves to argue about missing links; in the debate over gay marriage, they seem to specialize in arguments with missing links. ... What is the causal link between allowing gays to marry and "marriage" (they always use the word as though it was an actual physical entity) being "destroyed" or "weakened" or "gravely damaged"?

I love this meme that says gays are out to destroy marriage - by getting married. You know, if you want to destroy marriage, getting married is a piss poor way of doing it...
