GAY TRUTH

Image via Wikipedia Same-sex "marriage" is but the latest episode in the culture war . This becomes obvious if one analyzes the arguments supporting that concept and links them to those aspects of our modern culture that give it an aura of legitimacy. Most of the literature supporting same-sex marriage boils down to two basic arguments: the inequity of traditional marriage and the bigotry of those upholding it. I will depict both arguments as honestly as possible, show why they are intellectually unsustainable, and then indicate why our culture is nevertheless unable to refute their apparent legitimacy. Finally, I will propose a strategy, not of resistance, but of conquest. A conquest of hearts and souls.
