I am sure you noticed the almost complete radio silence at the Corner on Olson's piece. Just two notes by Maggie: one on the political awkwardness of the situation and the other just a quote of Olson's comments about civil unions, with no comment from her. Total absolute lack of engagement on the arguments (YOUR arguments). That's because they cannot engage on the arguments.
(And still silence from Jonah and NRO on my simple torture question: which techniques shown at Abu Ghraib does NRO not endorse?) The reader adds to the debate:
Regarding your reader comment that gay people can procreate. One of the arguments that people also forget (and Olson also omitted) is that gay people can adopt as a couple almost everywhere in the US. It is quite a strange situation to be declared a couple fit to adopt and raise a child in NY, and then being denied the right to marry because children should be raised by heterosexual couples and that's what marriage is about (one of the arguments in NY's highest court's shameful decision).
