anti gay mode, they simply can't get by with that in most places anymore, so they switched lexicons from 'they are after our children' to 'change takes time, half a loaf, realist' and that sort of verbiage. "Of course we support you, just not now."

with the repeal of DADT & loud support for marriage equality this horse has been let out of the barn! There's no putting it back in and there's now telling it to slow down now that it's started running.

If now isn't the time, it never will be time.
