« Eslambolchi at the Berkman: The Podcast || Back to Blog | Bush decides maybe the Office of Women's health shouldn't be led by a male veterinarian » September 17, 2005
The Times has a good editorial on the normalcy of gay marriage. Apparently here in Masachusetts, a year of legalized same-sex marriage has not led us down the slippery slope of incest, child rape and bestiality. Despite the warnings of some conservatives, it turns out that we Americans are not so easily led into sin. Of course, the United States is #42 (and falling) in the world when it comes to low infant mortality rates, so I can understand why it's so important for the protectors of family values to focus on making sure that the reproductive equipment of loving couples meets their standards for sufficient differentiation. [Note to the literal-minded: The above paragraph uses a familiar literary technique in which one says the opposite of what one means in order to make a point. In case you have trouble decoding sarcasm, I'm saying that there are far more important family-oriented issues than same-sex marriage. If you are still confused, please send $10 to the ACLU and they'll be happy to explain it to you.] [Tags: gay homosexuality politics] Posted
