-Deadly Consequences -- But the Right Call
Few landmark Supreme Court rulings have been so widely predicted asyesterday's decision striking down the District of Columbia's ban onhandguns. The mere fact that the court agreed to hear the case was a prettygood indication that the justices were itching to make some kind of bigstatement about the Second Amendment. Questions from the bench during oralarguments in March left little doubt as to which way the wind was blowing.

-"A Jihad for Love": Muslims on gay life, faith
Parvez Sharma's A Jihad for Love looks at the plight of gays still faithfulto their Muslim beliefs, even as the majority who share that faith areexplicitly opposed to homosexuality. Same-sex acts, socializing or evenvaguely defined offenses like "debauchery" are criminalized and punishableby fines, whipping, jail - even execution. The predicament of the victimsmakes the documentary kin to 2001's Trembling Before G-d, about gay OrthodoxJews. Both films share the same fascination and limitation. Their subjects'bravery is impressive, their situation moving, but so few are willing tospeak, and the cultures they come from so unwilling to accept them, that acertain repetitiousness soon settles in.

-The sanctity of (closeted, loveless) marriage
We often struggle with which of our opposition's anti-marriage equalityarguments are the most frustrating. Some are disturbing in the way they usebiased studies or outright lies to dehumanize gay people and discreditsame-sex commitments. Others are annoying in their baseless illogic (likethe idea that marriage is "about children," even though (a) kids are not amarital requirement and (b) gay folks also raise children). But when itcomes to sheer dull-wittedness, no argument strikes us as inane as the onethat Janet Chastain is recycling in a new WorldNetDaily commentary: Thelaw that has governed traditional marriage is in no way discriminatory. Amarriage applicant does not have to declare his or her sexual preference toapply for a marriage license, and there is no test for a gay gene, as onedoesn't exist. Homosexuals always have been free to marry. Many have beenmarried in the past and likely will enter into heterosexual marriages in thefuture. They simply were not free to marry a person of the same gender.

-Sam Harris: I'm a Dad
Actor, singer, and all-around entertainer Sam Harris talks about his journeyof adoption and the joys of taking on his latest title: father. I'm a dad. Ican't believe I get to say those words. "I'm a dad." When I was growing upit wasn't possible for a gay man to utter that phrase unless he'd once had astraight family. There was often shame, sadness, and guilt around thehusband that fathered children and then shocked his wife and kids byflinging the closet door open and attending his son's graduation accompaniedby his new Yves Saint Laurent-donning male lover. Studies have illustratedthe difficulties kids suffer when they feel they are the product of a lie. The wives aren't usually thrilled about it either. But many of them do comearound, then everyone spends Christmas together: the kids (all grown up andmarried themselves), Mom (who never remarried but has a lot of cats), andDad and Bob (who just got a summer home in Amagansett and "everyone isinvited for clam season!!").

-Calling a New Army of Lovers - An Essay by Armistead Maupin
In California and beyond, we're marrying for love. Our time has come. We will not be denied. Four years ago, when the mayor of San Francisco made history by marrying gayfolks down at City Hall, his fellow Democrat Dianne Feinstein voiced herdispleasure in no uncertain terms. "Too much, too fast, too soon," was theway she put it, and the ice water in her veins was almost audible. Thesenator's 26 years in the national spotlight had been launched by ahomophobic assassin, yet she still found a quarter of a century "too soon"for the full establishment of gay civil rights. How much more time had sheneeded, for God's sake? For years Feinstein had seen the full-blown horrorsof AIDS and watched same-sex love in action -- sturdy, unwavering,unconditional love -- as LGBT families cared for the dying. She knew as wellas anyone alive what we'd endured at the hands of a callous government andorganized religious hatred. She had lived throughMatthew Shepard'scrucifixion and scores of other antigay atrocities. When exactly, Iwondered, would it be convenient for her to stand up for a constituency thathad consistently returned her to office?

-Monogamous Same-Sex Adultery
I argue against same-sex marriage in part because I think the gay andlesbian community barely understands marriage, particularly the part aboutfidelity. Thus, I am accused of extrapolating the nonmonogamy of a few gaycouples to an entire community, and reminded of the widespread cheating andswinging in the straight community.

-Mississippi: Opinion--'Why are we all so afraid of allowing gay marriage?'

Excerpt: Who knew that marriage needed protecting? Apparently U.S. Sen.Roger Wicker, R-Miss., believes that to be the case. On Wednesday, Wickerintroduced the Marriage Protection Act, which would amend our Constitutionto declare that marriage is a union between one man and one woman. It hasalways baffled me why so many of us have a problem with gays and lesbiansgetting married. And please don't answer back with a lot of double talkabout what the Bible says. There are plenty of Biblical scholars andreligious leaders, including some in the Mississippi Delta, who have notrouble with either homosexuality or gay marriage.
