Some of you don't understand how hard anti-gay conservatives are making Stephen Colbert's job. With so many ridiculous presumptions — gay marriage in D.C. will force the Catholic Church to abandon the homeless; Rhode Island's gays don't deserve to plan their partners' funerals — this man is charged with defending their
