i have to say that i find the level of homophobia from conservatives in this thread to be almost dizzyingly offensive. i was sure at various points that it would get shut down.
paul martin's proposal, which opened the thread, is interesting both in itself and as an index of the degree to which the american fundamentalist protestant right has managed to frame the question of whether gay folk should be afforded the (secular, legal) protections of marriage in a manner that is simply the mirror image of the bigotry that you see conservatives individuals here expressing.
