i've always wondered....

who are all of these gay christians that want to get married, anyways? like, it seems like a contradiction in terms, the intersection of homosexuality and christianity. you'd think the number of gay people that want a marriage would be pretty small.

so, you hear arguments about things like workplace benefits, and they're good enough arguments, from a pragmatic viewpoint. you may want to expand dental coverage to your spouse, for example. ok. but, i'd rather support universal dental care!

and, you can lay out this sequence of arguments, and for each one there's always some better argument that doesn't involve getting a religious body involved, or carrying through with a secularized religious ritual.

so, in a sense, you could say that i'd rather fight for a society where people don't need to come up with clever ways to support each other....
