Entry: Gay Marriage Sucks! Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/gay_marriage_sucks#31506 Post contents: "This is where the propaganda of the right-wing anti-gay marriage movement goes completely off the rails: the alleged “threat” represented to marriage as an institution by the prospect of gay unions ranges from nil to nonexistent" You later blast government intrusion into every "nook and cranny." Don't you see how same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination attitudes will further confuse and "queer" marriage? We already face the odd euphemism "partner" when we mean spouse. Children will be even more strongly educated to think all forms of cohabitation, married or not, are acceptable. Further, heterosexual men, no matter how tolerant, tend to bow out of arenas embraced by gay men. "Straight flight" is not an unreasonable prediction. For every drama and sitcom where the married gay couple is stereotypically depicted as ideal and more virtuous than the straights, there will likely be a marginal impact on attraction to marriage unless the man decides to forgo the television entirely. Also your depiction of males as lusty profligates is somewhat cliched and misleading. The average straight man is less promiscious than the average gay man. Besides, ask a faithful husband who just discovered his wife's infidelity whether men or women are randier. Many societies have viewed women as the sex more prone to destructive lust.
