From a “queer traditional marriage activist”
CommentsI recently received the following E-mail:
Thank you very much for your work. Far too often the defense of marriage as a union between a man and a woman has been associated with homophobia. It is refreshing to see an openly LGBT person of faith argue that same-sex marriage is not a boon for gays or straights. It is especially outstanding to see someone speak prophetically about the problems of the socially marginalized members of our community, especially in prisons. You are a real son of Moses and Isaiah.
We’re in somewhat similar situations. I am a bisexual (Kinsey 2 or 3) person of faith. I’m in the junior reaches of academia, and am doing research in gender studies and intellectual history. I am working on translating my academic knowledge into something useful for popular debate.
Anyway, I hope this doesn’t sound like a strange email, but sometimes we end up in “queer” situations.
