Gay Marriage and the Perils of Being ‘Normal’new
Gay unions are fleeting? The divorce rate will skyrocket? So? Gays and lesbians have every human right to be as messy, ill-advised, unprepared, offensive, and just generally stupid as everybody else—and reap the same legal benefits for said stupid behavior.
