Hello, Goodbye Again

When I first heard of the idea years ago, gay marriage seemed to me like a contradiction in terms— it was Andrew who convinced me otherwise. He worked very hard, against opposition from all sides of the political spectrum, to promote the idea, and did so just by the power of reasoned argument— he led no army of followers, no political party, no phalanx of lobbyists.

His reflections on the accomplishment of marriage equality and do reflect on the religious allusion of the title of his piece that he and many others worked for are well worth reading. In the mids, when HIV was newly discovered and diagnosable, it was a death sentence. There was no known treatment. To some, it was only a matter of time until gay men who were not in a permanent monogamous relationship would get it and die.

To some of those, that death sentence weighed so heavily, on top of the way society treated them, they hurried to get it and get it over with. I still prefer not to read his writings due to them leaving me shaking my head on his support for religious dogma. To me, it feels like a quantum expansion of civil rights for everyone, and I hope it will lead to more such expansions.

A very moving post over there by Andrew Sullivan. My, how the tide has changed.

But I know it can happen. I have not read Mr. Has he explained why he calls himself Cathoilc? How does someone who is openly gay, living in a same sex marriage, continue to be Catholic? It does not make sense to me? He wrote at great length about this and other aspects of his religious experience.

It could be entertaining to watch him go completely off the rails and then drag himself back over the next couple of days the first debate in the last presidential election being a great example. Also, as you note, his honesty in taking on criticism and publicly changing is positioning response to information and developments was commendable.
