Sad Marriages

Commenting on straight opposition to a legalization of gay marriage in Norway, Bjorn nails it:

The most interesting part of the debate on this proposal is straight people saying that such a law will decrease the value and significance of their own marriages. It must be sad to have a marriage that is so vulnerable - that the value of the marriage is prone to decrease just by a small change in the law. I pity those straights that are in this situation.


My comment: When you think about how fearful many straights are of anything gay, it's striking what a fragile thing heterosexuality must be.

The existence of heterosexuality doesn't threaten my sexuality nor does straight marriage weaken my 20 year relationship. Straight people really need to get a grip.
