The Fairness Campaign’s Chris Hartman gets several quotes in a TIME story about the Catholic Church and gay marriage:

Even as Catholic prelates are contemplating more extensive political engagement, grassroots gay activists are now debating how aggressive they should be in their pursuit of changing the laws regarding marriage.

I believe that is the type of confrontation that will emerge — people no longer willing to sit idly by and leave the fight for their rights in the hands of lobbyists and special-interest groups.”
