The Boston Globe, in its editorial today, offers the best rejoinder to the nonsense being spouted by the president and the social conservatives on marriage.
Gay marriage is not the threat, as the editorial says:
Gay marriage isn’t a real threat. In Massachusetts, married gay couples are not masterminding terrorist bombings. They are not refining weapons-grade uranium nor are they running up federal budget deficits. Married gay couples are not monitoring their fellow Americans’ phone calls and e-mails. They haven’t cut Medicaid. And they didn’t put that doughnut hole in the middle of Medicare’s new prescription drug program.
I would add that gays looking to get married in New Jersey have not manufactured the budget crisis or underfunded the state pension system. Gay couples are not keeping American troops in Iraq when they should be on their way home or polluting the ocean and driving up car insurance rates.
But you get the picture.
