This Really Is Getting Old

Yet another conservative opponent of gay marriage cheats on his wife.

Around here, there’s a strange correlation between a person’s ideas about gay marriage and that person’s own success in life. It seems like among people I know the ones who have the most divorces, kids out of wedlock, felonies and job problems are also the most vocal opponents of gay marriage. It’s like they’re trying to make themselves feel better: “My life may be bad, but at least I ain’t one them gays.” I’m speculating in pop psychology, but maybe some part of this extends to the national level, too.
