They know.
Sure there are useful idiots in the general population, but those in power (overall) are fully aware that gay marriage is not a threat to "the traditional family".
They use it as a wedge issue. They use it because the bigots in this country respond to it. They use it because they see it as a tool for accruing power.
Fascists need an enemy, so what better groups to other than the ones that have been on the fringes of society since the dawn of man?
Don't let them convince you that they just don't understand. They do, and they will harm lgbtq people anyway because they are filth who will do anything they can to stay on top of the pile.
75% of the right wingers I met are either on at least their second marriage or have cheated on their spouse more than once.
But 2 dudes is what they say are ruining the institution of marriage
It's important to be aware of the fact that hypocrisy is a feature not a bug for the fascist.
The entire point is to make a system that prioritizes the rights of the in-group at the expense of the out-group. Selectively enforceable laws and norms are preferable. Vague laws and standards are prefered so they can be selectively enforced.
When the supreme court comes out with a non-sensical ruling, its not because they are stupid, it's because they are trying to build the hypocrisy and selective enforement into the foundation of the system.
Forget trying to make them see the hypocrisy, it's pointless. We know it's hypocritical, and they don't care.
