Is someone I try to read when I can. She wrote an irresistible demolition of gay marriage here (and 1 2 3 4 5) and fascinating (and very personal) thoughts on homosexuality here. There is no one quote that can sum it up but the totality of her arguments are overwhelming.
A good speech by Maggie Gallacher here. Money quote:
Two ideas are in conflict here: one is that children deserve mothers and fathers and that adults have an obligation to at least try to conduct their sexual lives to give children this important protection. That is the marriage idea. The other is that adult interests in sexual liberty are more important than “imposing” or preferring any one family form: all family forms must be treated identically by law if adults are to be free to make intimate choices. This is the core idea behind the drive for same-sex marriage. And it is the core idea that must be rejected if the marriage idea is to be sustained.
I post this stuff because I’m going to write some more about gay marriage soon. Be warned.
