In another example of "not clear on the concept," the lobby against gay marraiges has accused a judge in the California Proposition 8 case of bias because he is gay. This would be like saying that divorce judges could not be married -- or divorced. It would be like saying that black judges could not sit in racial discrimination cases or that women could not adjudicate gender discrimination cases.
The accusation reveals the basic misunderstanding of the anti-gay lobby: gays are not pursuing an interest, but are being themselves.
