Same-sex marriage - more food for thought

I'm not directly commenting on this right away. I missed the show but the transcript is amazing. Dennis Prager describes the interview

Perhaps the most important argument against same-sex marriage is that once society honors same-sex sex as it does man-woman sex, there will inevitably be a major increase in same-sex sex. People do sexually (as in other areas) what society allows and especially what it honors.

One excellent example illustrating this is an article recently written in the McGill University newspaper by McGill student Anna Montrose. In it, she wrote:

It's hard to go through four years of a Humanities B.A. reading Foucault and Butler and watching 'The L Word' and keep your rigid heterosexuality intact. I don't know when it happened exactly, but it seems I no longer have the easy certainty of pinning my sexual desire to one gender and never the other.

Read the interview. I'll comment later. I read Dennis' article and interview after last night reading GayPatriotWest's post and recommendation of Megan McArdle's scrupilously neutral analysis of several of the arguments surrounding same-sex marriage. Don't miss the comment section on GPW's site.

Pretty wild comment section on my site, no? Some people, alas, sort of package all opposition to gay marriage together. And that's too bad. I realize there are some out there who are against gay marriage for narrow-minded reasons, while others oppose it for more "broad-minded" reasons, having considered a great variety of issues.

Jane Galt (or Megan McArdle if that's her name) strikes me as one of the broad-minded opponents.
