GAYS DEFEND MARRIAGE

I will be a guest Friday morning, May 23 at 7:05 a.m. on Seattle’s conservative talk station, AM 570 KVI. (This is a reschedule from Tuesday.) I will be discussing this Web site and my thoughts about why LGBT people should stop devoting so many resources to the marriage issue.

The Web site also got a plug in a column I wrote in last Sunday’s LA Daily News. It’s called Same-sex ruling good for no one. From the column:

CHAMPAGNE corks are popping wherever gays and lesbians gather throughout the Golden State after the California Supreme Court’s ruling in In Re Marriage Cases, which opens the way for same-sex couples to legally wed beginning next month. But my fellow members of the LGBT community shouldn’t be celebrating. This decision does next to nothing for California gays and lesbians, and causes real harm to people who believe in the “old” definition of marriage. It’s nothing to be proud of.

A slightly different version of the piece is in the 9th largest-circulation local newspaper in the country, the Philadelphia Inquirer. They headlined it “For better or worse, a bad ruling.”

That piece also appeared in:

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer as “Why California gays shouldn’t celebrate state court ruling”

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel as “No ego boost is worth trading away fundamental liberties.”

We’ve also recently received plugs at National Review Online’s “The Corner” and of course, at MarriageDebate.com’s blog. And thank you to timesandseasons.org, which calls us “an awesomely contrarian website.”
