“G.O.P. Moves Fast to Reignite Issue of Gay Marriage”
-- Sheryl Gay Stolberg for The NY Times
That's the headline for a story about the re-energizing of the Republican campaign in the aftermath of that recent New Jersey court decision upholding gay rights with respect to marital benefits. It is always nice to see our politics sticking to the high ground.
There is a certain poetic irony in this. After all, it was a gay scandal that gave rise to Democratic hopes for taking over Congress, and now it is the promise of greater gay rights that could upset those hopes. We, as a country, have a lot of serious gay issues to work out. Then maybe we can become more secure in our manhood.
