One wonders why all this nonsense now over Gay marriage. Bush wants the states to do what they wish, while putting in place a Constitutional Amendment which would be used successfully by anti-gay groups in the same courts Bush is condemning as Activist to shoot down any state-allowed same-sex marriage institutions.
Why? Just because it’s in the Bible? Well, one has to wonder when it was inserted into the Bible, but that’s a textual criticism argument, way above the discource now dominating the issue.
A couple years ago an essay was posted about this which I found very intriguing, so permit me to post the link here:

In many ways this is a deeper issue for heterosexuals than it is for gays. When Bush talks about “redefining marriage” he may not be so far off the mark–at least, redefining the way it is practiced vis a vis public institutions and cultural “norms”–whatever those are.
