Started strong, but ended shapeless: and shapeless is what marriage is not, and also why it is sought. Gay people can’t obtain the status of marriage, even legalized, because marriage is the alternative to other ménages: it gives respectability, the intangible that no argument about money can make. Instead, it appears as gay theater. Yet two souls trying to escape the dangers of faithlessness and seeking refuge in a solemn oath isn’t evil; let them have their ceremony. What will it change? It will make gay marriage routine, and close an arena to satisfy the desire to offend conventional attitudes: so brace yourself for that part of the matter to get more creative. Why shouldn’t a male teacher have the right to wear a dress to his middle school algebra classroom?
