I would like to reassure the contributors to this unusual Web site. You don’t need to go through such acrobatics to oppose marriage equality. You can just be against gay marriage without any justification. You guys could find a comfortable place here in Europe. We have a lot of far right parties that are based on identity and tradition, and they reject gay marriage as a question of national honor. They want heterosexual superiority because their national group is supposed to be more macho than the other countries. That is good enough, really. Unfortunately you’re stuck in the US where pure ethnic and cultural arguments don’t work. Americans are just too fair-minded and so astoundingly dynamic.
