Look me in the eye and say it

As the ball dropped on New Year's Eve New Hampshire began allowing gay couples to marry. Both Iowa and New Hampshire now allow gay marriage and both states start off the next race to the White House. By 2011 both states will have time to get many of their citizens used to the idea. And both are also small enough that candidates get grilled by lots of ordinary citizens rather than reporters. One wonders how they'll react when they look gay couples in the eye. Will they be able to say gays should be second-class citizens? Yeah, some will do it anyway.
