A couple of brief answers to my question this morning: “If Larry King and Elizabeth Taylor can get married ad infinitum, why can’t gays get married even once?” Email Number One:
Some folks hold this belief much the same way others believe that while Arab peoples may establish 22 institutions of national self-determination among the family of nations, it somehow amounts to “racism” for Jews to assert even one.
Email Number 2:
Why can’t gays get married just once? It’s control. They won’t let us marry because then they would have to see us as normal human beings. And just like many normal human beings, we’d probably get married (and divorced) more than once.
Some have wondered whether I’m positing Larry king and Elizabeth Taylor as models for gay marriages? Nope. They’re the standard for straight marriages, a standard gays are described as unable to live up to. Constitutionally, marriage rights cannot be infringed in any way for prison inmates, illegal aliens, dead-beat dads, convicted wife-beaters, and serial divorcees. Heck, even paternal-killer Erik Menendez has an unalienable constitutional right to marry. The key thing to remember is that the opposition to same sex marriage is based on the notion that loving gay relationships are inferior to those engaged in by murderers, rapists, prison inmates, people convicted of child abuse, and on and on. Gay people are that low in the moral pecking order. Yet the opponents of equal marriage rights bristle when accused of prejudice. As well they might.
