He just might be the Grand Marshall at a Pride Parade/festivities in Utah one day…and that would really frost some people’s shorts but more importantly it might be the catalyst that could thaw some of the ardent bitterness between some sanctimonious Republicans and us. (Notice I didn’t say all Republicans.)

Last week’s news-conference where Governor Huntsman opined about equality for gays was a jaw-dropper. It may be the seed that gets more Utahns (read: Mormons) to reevaluate their position on gay equality and gay marriage.

And I find it interesting the Utah Attorney General has left himself an “out” with his legal opinion on civil marriages. He was the darling of gays last year for opting for a Hate Crime Bill but he is certainly doing a political balancing act that would suit him for a part in Cirque du Soleil somewhere…maybe.

I’ll see if he rides his Harley in the Pride Parade this year.

@John: Most Americans couldn’t give a damn how Miss Prejean was treated. It was a salacious Perez Hilton creation that has had most of its legs on the far right, LGBT blogs, and in tabloids/tabloid blogs. None of those audiences represent the independent, swayable voters that passed prop 8.

When the Mass. supreme court first legalized marriage in 2003, there was a substantial DROP in the support for marriage equality. By that standard, even a poll that showed no change in support in the past month could be considered a victory.
