The history lessons
Who knew that whenever bigots screamed about homos wanting to “redefine marriage” that they were right? The testimony from Harvard history professor Nancy Cott showed us just how much The M-Word has changed over time. It’s gone from being a financial arrangement and a way to keep blacks and whites apart to a social privilege that a lot of folks define just as they and their Bibles wish. That’s reassuring; we always knew our parents’ fucked-up relationships weren’t “traditional marriages” by any stretch of the imagination, but at least they were in good company, historically speaking.

Does anyone read this stuff before they put it up?

It’s Judge Vaughn Walker, dear. Not Judge Walker Vaughn. That memo made it all the way down here to Alabama.

Which “sites” were invited, Daniel?
Did you mean “sides”?
I’m a big fan of yours; I have complimented you here in the “comments” section before but spreading this article out over siiiiiixxxx pages strains the patience of your readers. Yes, it boosts revenue IF people read all six pages, but most of us won’t.
You are Queerty’s best writer, IMO, & have a bright future ahead of you. Don’t let the pressure of deadlines allow you to skip editing. I can see you taking over for Anthony Lane at the New Yorker in a few years. Really.
If you write him, he’ll write back, by the way. Pen & paper get his attention, e-mail not so much.
