Bookworm: adultery rate is a valid reason to deny gays equality but straight adultery is fine because they vowed to ‘forsake all others’
First of all, let me be clear, Bookworm: there is NO SUCH THING as a good reason to deny lesbians and gays equality, including the right to choose a same-sex spouse in a federally-recognized marriage. The General Accountability Office in a report to Congress on the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 identified 1,138 federal …
Co-author of DOMA admits that marriage has always had a legal definition apart from religion
Dear Ed Morrissey or dear Allahpundit at Hot Air gave me a busy evening by linking in the Hot Air Headlines my post below on Hawaii Gov. Lingle’s veto of a new law that would allow civil unions for same-sex partners. (Psssst! Who can tell me what the number to the right of the headline …
Laura Bush is pro-gay marriage and pro-choice
Somehow this interview reminds me of the times I would be transferring Margaret from her wheelchair to something else depending on the place — a lift chair at our yogic flying program, a lift chair at the pool — where my attention would be totally focused on her until I had her settled and often …

Charlie Martin at Pajamas Media made history today
I think Charlie Martin made history at Pajamas Media today when he defended the equality of lesbians and gays in the comment section of my piece on why it is a slur to call someone lesbian or gay, which came up due to the possibility that Obama will nominate Solicitor General Elena Kagan, who is …

Gay Christian singing duo Jason and deMarco: 'We're All Angels'

Huckabee slander of same-sex marriage didn't go as well as in the past
Former governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, in an interview at The College of New Jersey, in Ewing, New Jersey, on Friday slandered same-sex marriage in terms that usually get him congratulations from his supporters and indignation from lesbians and gays, which results in more congratulations from his supporters, all of which Huckabee seems to feed …

UPDATED How to grab the gay equality issue from the Left
I have a proposal for attracting to conservatism a demographic that’s up-for-grabs. There are three blog publishers who are in a position to do this. Each one could do it alone, but it will make a bigger impact if they hold hands and make the leap of faith together. My proposal is that at least …

Yo, J.D. Hayworth — hasn't straight marriage already led to people marrying horses's asses?
Allahpundit has the story on Arizona Sen. John McCain’s Republican primary opponent, J.D. Hayworth, speculating that homosexual marriage equality will provide a legal precedent for people marrying horses. Like that’s a bad thing. However, since there already seems to be a fair number of straight people complaining they married a horse’s ass, I’m having a …
