You knew that we couldn’t get marriage equality passed in New York without hearing from the Prophet of Doom:

In history there’s never been a civilization ever in history that has embraced homosexuality and turned away from traditional fidelity, traditional marriage, traditional child-rearing, and has survived. There isn’t one single civilization that has survived that openly embraced homosexuality. So you say, “what’s going to happen to America?” Well if history is any guide, the same thing’s going to happen to us.

But not if we throw the One Ring into the Cracks of Doom and destroy it. Then everything will be okay. Gandalf said so.
