gay marriage - article

it's too long for me to reprint here, but the ny times magazine has a great article that examines the conservative stance regarding gay marriage. i'm continually fascinated by this political/moral stance - though perhaps 'disgusted with' or 'disillusioned by' are better terms for how i feel about it. the article is excellent. if you end up skimming it, jump to the last 2 paragraphs - a must-read.
