Inevitability of Same Sex Marriage

In comments to this post at alicublog on the inevitability of same sex marriage, and whether or not it will be a good thing for conservatives, Halloween Jack had this gem:

I sometimes daydreamed about a Star Trek episode where they woke up someone who'd been in suspended animation since the 20th/21st century, and while they were catching up on history, they asked, "Say, did you ever cure homosexuality?" The doctor frowns, thinks for a minute, mumbling, "That sounds familiar... hmmm..." then taps away on a tricorder for a few seconds, then looks up brightly. "Actually, it was homophobia that got cured. Funny that I forgot about it, my sister and her wife were talking about it just the other day!"


I can't let that one get lost in the ether.
