Champions of "Normal" Can Be Downright Freakish

Get a load of this article in the Weekly Standard by Sam Schulmann.  Here's a sample:

This most profound aspect of marriage–protecting and controlling the sexuality of the child-bearing sex–is its only true reason for being, and it has no equivalent in same-sex marriage.

And here's something to offend heterosexuals:

Few men would ever bother to enter into a romantic heterosexual marriage–much less three, as I have done–were it not for the iron grip of necessity that falls upon us when we are unwise enough to fall in love with a woman other than our mom.

 Is it just me, or has anyone else noted the weirdly abstract quality of so much anti-gay intellectual argument?  This essay is a particularly notable example.

Hat tip to Atrios.

Check out Toujourdan's post about gay life in Saudi Arabia.  It reads like a religious right wet dream, especially the police for "The Promotion of Virtue and The Prevention of Vice."
