From DOMA being the law of the land to 31 states where marriage equality rules, that's pretty damn impressive. If you want to go back "hundreds and thousands of years" I would then point out to you just how many of those years had a religious institution serving AS the political institution. Still feel like doubling down?

Human rights proceed without (and usually in opposition to) the church.
