By Chrissy Stroop

“I held my tongue as she told me, ‘Son, fear is the heart of love.’ So I never went back.” – Death Cab for Cutie, from “I Will Follow You into the Dark” (2005) Ahead of today’s historic Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, we saw a lot of preemptive pushback from right-wing evangelical groups like the American Family Association and the Southern Baptist Convention—and in the wake of the ruling we’re sure to see more.
