"THE MOST REPELLENT ARGUMENT AGAINST SSM I'VE EVER SEEN": Lynn Gazis-Sax

[I agree. Disgusting. --Eve]

...OK, now, I'm a bisexual who has made exactly the choice that I'm presumably supposed to: I married a man, fully intending for that marriage to be faithful, last till death do us part, and include children. And it turns out that my husband has multiple chronic illnesses, odds of our ever procreating before I read menopause are slim at best, and so I am pretty nearly exactly in the same position as that selfish man who wants his company to insure his partner with AIDS. In a few years, I will be definitively infertile, and Joel will still be chronically ill. Should I divorce him then, so I don't steal insurance money from children? Do we really have to choose between kids dying and dropping all medical care for adults once we're sure they don't have kids? Could you please, pretty please, get a better anti-same-sex marriage argument, one that doesn't suggest that life only has value when you're young, or when you're of some use to somebody? And dump this argument in the trash bin where it belongs?
