Well good, this confirms my theory...straight people ARE retarded.

After reading it, I cant help but compare this article to a college essay written last minute by a procrastinator who didnt read the book but instead, just took snippets from it by randomly opening pages. Basically an "F" essay full of loopholes and b.s.

I've written the Sun a letter. They not only printed that rubbish. They actually have a weekly column from this numbnuts. Everybody write a letter. That's a guy that doesn't have anything of interest to say and shouldn't be disseminated any further than the flyblown pages of his journal. Honestly.

Equal opportunity and affirmative action laws require that a certain number of writings by African-American Republicans be published. This is part of that quota.

There is a nucleus of a point in there somewhere. Marriage is a straight institution. The argument should be about why the state confers certain automatic privileges and responsibilities to married straight persons, and not to registered, committed gay partners. Defining gay partnerships as "marriage" is a shortcut around that argument, and it largely hasn't worked.

Marriage is a religious concept that has been adopted by the state to the extent that it provides mechanisms allowing people to marry even outside any religious institution. Given that some churches do officially recognize gay commitments, the question needs to be pressed as to why the state does not recognize such and also provide a mechanism for gay couples to commit outside a church. "Strict constructionists" need to be asked why they believe the Constitution permits the government to prefer the beliefs of one set of churches and ignore the beliefs of other churches.

That Thomas Sowell has no business spreading his slime on the fine soil of funky Baltimore. He needs to move to Virginia with dumbass attitudes like his.

My favorite response to this rationalization was a guy who essentially said "Fine, how about we start marrying straight women, as you suggest? I'm sure a guy who understands the importance of a new and pretty dress and doesn't need to be forced into watching Lifetime movies together can offer any competition. Sure, we can't offer sex, but we're talking marriage here -- which factor is more important in the long term?"

The bicycle/motor car analogy was not a good one because a straight relationship is not to a gay relationship what a car is to a bicycle.

However, one can meaningfully talk about the difference between columnists who write before pulling their heads out of their asses and those who wait to write until they have pulled their heads out of their asses. Clearly, with the shit he wrote, this jerk still had his head up his ass. H

When did logic ever matter to gay-marriage opponents?
