... "The vast majority of Americans believe that gays and lesbians should
not be discriminated against. But only a third support gay marriage.
Despite or perhaps because of our own divorce rate, heterosexuals
cling to the ideal of marriage as if it were our last flotation
device in a tempest of change.

The ideal is elastic, God knows.

You can get married by an Elvis impersonator in Las Vegas. You can
get married on a roller coaster. You can get married while sky
diving. You can get married if you're a murderer, rapist, or child
molester. You can get married in Kansas if you're a twelve-year-old
girl.

But you cannot get married if you're gay.

Now some argue that marriage is for procreation, but if so, a
fertility test as well as a blood test would be required. Some say
gay marriage would undermine the family, but marriage is obviously
about strengthening family, not undermining it; the only thing gay
marriage undermines is homophobia. It's ironic that those who charge
gays with promiscuity would also deny them the legal framework for
monogamy."
