GAYS DEFEND MARRIAGE

I am proud that in the first two months of GaysDefendMarriage.com I have given a pretty thorough answer to nearly every pro-gay-marriage question and comment posted at the site. Given the modest traffic, it wasn’t hard to do.

The traffic isn’t so modest anymore. Yesterday we got more than 40 comments.

Lots of exciting things are happening for me. I am working on some pieces about marriage that will bring far more national attention to my ideas and to this blog than ever before. I have to devote serious amounts of attention to those projects and future projects (which make me money), which means I cannot foresee responding to 40 or more comments a day.

So from now on, I’d like to try the following new policy:

1) I promise to read every word of every comment left at GaysDefendMarriage.com.

2) I will respond to the questions and comments I find most interesting and provocative.

3) You will not accuse me of “ignoring” or “refusing to answer” this or that, given that I simply do not have time to respond specifically to 40 E-mails a day.

I wish I could do everything, but I just can’t. I’m thrilled with the growing popularity of this blog. Many, many of my published pieces grew out of exchanges and challenges that happened right here. For now, I’ll just ask that some of you try to challenge each other when I’m unable to answer every question. If you go to popular blogs you’ll see they often comment very little if every. I’m trying to comment as much as I reasonably can.

Thanks!
