Backlashes, revolutions, and other such spontaneous uprisings of the masses are planned, organized, incited, and controlled by intellectuals, leaders, demagogues, whether for good or for bad (and usually for bad). That was the case of the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Russian (Communist) Revolution, the German (Nazi) Revolution, the Islamic Revolution, and every other such. It was true of Christianity in ancient Rome. Early in the 20th century, a Swiss sociologist named Roberto Michels studied socialist parties and labor unions which agitated for more democracy and equality. And he found that, in every case, these democratic movements were in reality run by small minorities, which led him to formulate his "Iron Law of Oligarchy".
And it is true of this ChristiaNazi revolution against homosexuals (ultimately, against sexuality as such). Certain well-organized groups such as the Alliance for Marriage, Alliance Defense Fund, Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, American Family Association, etc., certain intellectuals, certain demogogues are deliberately _whipping up_ hatred against homosexuals. It is an elite of would-be fuhrers against an elite of the creative. Toohey against Roark.
All of this hatred toward the courts (and especially the Supreme Court) is not spontantaneous and is not generated by the decisions of the courts, but has been manufactured by demogogues and intellectuals. Why all this sneering at "penumbras" and "emanations"? We didn't hear it when the Supreme Court struck down laws against contraception in 1965 (Griswold vs. Connecticut). There wasn't a groundswell of indignation against that decision at the time. It wasn't until 1987 when President Reagan made his biggest mistake and nominated Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. (Fortunately the President realized his error and gave us Justice Kennedy instead.) It was Bork who, decades after that decision, launched the attack on it, denying the right to privacy and sneering at Jutice Douglas's language of "penumbras" and "emanations". Bork was part of a coterie of intellectuals formulating a nihilistic attack on the concept of individual rights in order to subject us to a totalitarian state. He was a student of one Aaron Director, another of whose proteges was economist Ronald Coase, who Ayn Rand fisked in 1974 in "The Ayn Rand Letter".

I must add that the fact that the "New York Times" puts the interests of the Democratic party above the rights of homosexuals shows once again that the Left is an unreliable ally for homosexual men and women.
