"Dear Marriage Supporter,
Since the age of the French Revolution, the phrase 'Let them eat cake' has been used as a symbol of out-of-touch, tyrannical elites or aristocracies. The phrase comes from a popular anecdote that a monarch (often identified as Marie Antoinette), when told that the peasants had no bread to eat and were starving, proposed this as the solution: 'Let them eat cake.'
Well, ironically in our own day the phrase is once again a fitting symbol of an out-of-touch, tyrannical government: this time in the form of a Colorado Judge who ruled that a baker in Denver must provide wedding cakes to same-sex couples... or else pay the price."
-Brian Brown, President NOM [National Organization of Marriage],
