Conservative Sort Of Praises Young Gay Nups

Wonders never cease!

Instead of railing against the NY Times for their lengthy piece on young gay marriage, anti-gay activist Albert Mohler, who previously pondered homo genetic cleansing, offers a fairly measured, moderate reflection:

"Young Gay Rites" is itself a noteworthy signal about the future of marriage. If [author Benoit] Denizet-Lewis is right, the legalization of same-sex marriage is changing the ways some homosexuals are living their lives. In other words, same-sex marriage in Massachusetts is changing homosexual culture in some unexpected ways.


Before you get too excited, however, Mohler ends his piece by wondering if gay marriage will spur straights to start thinking outside the monogamous box:

If the legalization of same-sex marriage is changing homosexual culture, is it also changing heterosexual marriage? We can only wonder how long it will take for some heterosexual couples to decide that "emotional fidelity" and "sexual fidelity" can be separated.

Hey, he had to find something to bitch about, right?

"We can only wonder how long it will take for some heterosexual couples to decide that 'emotional fidelity' and 'sexual fidelity' can be separated."

Not very long, if you're a conservative. Just ask Gingrich, Thomson, Craig…

Right, Paul Raposo! It's not like sexual fidelity has been a hallmark of heterosexual unions. That's all the mythmaking of the right.

No. 6 · June23

This man's initial comments make it clear that the Right's ideas about gay life and culture are flawed from the start.

Gay marriage hasn't spurred my gay friends and I to be more faithful, more loving or less sleazy, thank you very much. The fact is, we were all faithful, loving and unsleazy to begin with. (Well, at least as much as our straight peers were.)

The image of pale-faced gays creeping through public baths with green carnations attached to their lapels must be alive and well somewhere.

Asshats.

I think my genetic donors were about 40 years ahead of him.
