It is entirely possible that I'm ignorant, but if I'm ignorant, so are most of the average people who are witnessing the debate, I'd bet. But I would say that if society is accepting gays, what about the portions of the country where beatings and worse are still very common? I think individuals are quite accepted (though I personally suspect that Will and Grace is still primarily filed under satire), but the group as a whole still faces a lot of challenges.
Also, I think the attitudes of some involved on both sides are going to continue to be a problem. (Case in point, the original language of the statement that I altered. 'Love is Marraige, Marraige is Love' is a very blanket, somewhat arrogant statement that is rather easily torn apart by any number of arguments.)
