Morford, 08/06/08, GAY INTEREST!!
David Gartner
Let's keep it simple. The next time, say, gay marriage comes up in
conversation, perhaps you say, well, you know, I don't really get
the gay thing at all and certainly my anxiety about it is rooted
somewhere too deep and sad to explore right now, but I've been doing
a bit of actual homework (!), and it turns out that homosexuality is
simply all over the animal kingdom, across all sorts of species, and
animals seem to enjoy it for both survival and pleasure. Who knew?
In other words, nature seems to approve. And isn't nature merely God
in a nice grass suit?
As your baffled pals pick their jaws up off the floor, you can add:
Hell, science is pretty much proving homosexuality is biological
anyway, not a "lifestyle" choice at all. And gays in the military?
Hell, if the badass Israeli army can handle it, the United States
sure as hell can, am I right? Now, pass me a stogie and let's go
blast some canned pheasant with a shotgun.
See? It doesn't have to all be liberal tofu gobbledygook. I know
that waking up to the contemptible wrongheadedness that was your
support of the BushCo neocon agenda must be painful. Baby steps,
honey. Baby steps. ...
