REYNOLDS ON GAY MARRIAGE: As usual, he takes a sensible position. One reason his blog is so popular is his ability to reason calmly and reliably. I know my own passions are involved in this subject; so it’s always good to see my own view echoed by someone as disinterested and as sane as Instapundit. The arguments of the opponents, in contrast, seem to be getting more far-fetched and hysterical. David Frum’s notion that this will destroy motherhood makes absolutely no sense to me. The gender of a parent has already been subject to all sorts of permutations under the increasingly diverse realm of heterosexual marital arrangements. Stanley Kurtz’s view that this will mean closeto an end to religious freedom and the First Amendment seems just as strained. Jonah Goldberg makes the obvious point that anti-gay-marriage conservatives would be more persuasive – and less suspected of simple anti-gay animus – if they came up with some alternative to gay marriage. But the far right’s resistance to any civil acknowledgment of gay citizens and gay relationships has actually made fully-fledged gay marriage more likely. Hoist by their own prejudice, I’d say.
