GAYS DEFEND MARRIAGE

Lots of media attention lately. I was on New York’s historic radio station WOR, on the Steve Malzberg program, today. I am scheduled to be interviewed by Michelangelo Signorile on the leading Sirius network gay radio show in the next few days.

Monday I had a piece in the New York Post about why there are better things HRC could spend its money on than the California marriage battle. The Post piece makes no religious arguments or child-welfare arguments; it gives only gay and lesbian reasons to spend the money on more pressing concerns. Yet the critics of my piece on LGBT sites virtually all ignore the points I make and attack me as a person instead.

Today’s Town Talk, the daily newspaper for Alexandria, Lousiana and surrounding areas, contains an op-ed I wrote complaining that gay groups are so focused on being treated as entirely equal (even when we’re not), that they don’t even notice the people they’re hurting. I give the example of the gay community’s turning Matthew Limon, a serial statutory rapist, into a hero, and fighting to set him free, because his sentence wasn’t equal to what it would have been if his victim was female. I also mention the gay groups that have fought to make it harder for Boy Scouts to hike and camp on public property (now there’s a cause gays can be proud of - persecuting 11-year-old boys who don’t even know what homophobia is). And, of course, the rush to sue for marriage which has unquestionably left same-sex couples in America with fewer rights than they would have had otherwise. I call it the “broken gay moral compass.”

Next week a new piece I’ve written about why lesbians make lousy fathers will make its appearance; One of the top dozen East Coast daily newspapers has already confirmed it will use it, and there may be others as well.
