Things like gay marriage simply shouldn't be news.
I am confident, however, that eventually the majority of this so-called "militancy" will stop.
And I say this with confidence simply because I don't see groups of "militant" women campaigning to get the right to vote. Sure, there are still protests against continued inequalities, but the movement for suffrage for women is no longer being "rammed down people's throats" because women can vote - the law now supports equality.
I don't see groups of "militant" African Americans campaigning for an end to segregation. Yes, there are still issues that continue to be raised about racism and prejudice, but the movement for an end to racial segregation is no longer being "rammed down people's throats" because segregation has ended - the law supports equality.
That's why I'm so very confident in saying that marriage equality and gay rights will, one day, no longer be in the news anywhere near as much as it is today. One day there will be nowhere near as much "militancy", because one day gay people will be treated equally both in the eyes of society and in the eyes of the law.
