I think those dying preachers are like the divorcing couple. You know, nonexistent.
How exactly to they die to prevent people from getting married? Lie down in Market Street and get trampled by a million Pride Paraders? Sorry, Pride Security will carry them to safety. Do they plan to storm, external penises, I mean guns, in hand, the county courthouse and tear up marriage licenses? Wouldn't get past metal detectors. Do a suicide bombing at the door of churches and synagogues that perform the weddings? Yeah, that will sure win over ISIS, but American public, not so much.
It's rather funny, actually, to read the hysterical blathering of those who lost and know they lost. They just can't figure out how it happened that people prefer happily married gay couples to hate spewing bigots. But Jesus promised them! Really he did!
