Stupid essay of the day.

I came across this essay --entitled, "What I don't get about Gay Marriage," tonight on googlenews (amazingly, given it's stupidity, it was at the top of a googlenews section, which means a lot of people are reading it). It perfectly demonstrates that there is even a "gay" tone in writing, but it also demonstrates how intellectually wobbly the gay movement is.

I could waste a lot of time responding to each fallacy in his lengthy article, but two points will suffice, I think.

First, much of his article presupposes that homosexuals (and the Left) have truly convinced a majority of American voters that their behavior is based on an inherent trait; they haven't.

Second, Americans get to decide which, if any, social relationships/institutions they want to set apart as special, and nowhere near enough American voters have been persuaded that homosexual "marriage" is beneficial to society.
