I was in meetings at work, most of yesterday today. Which means I have a lot to catch up on, so it’s hard to say whether I’ll be able to blog much at all today. In the meantime, there’s other stuff out there I highly recommend. Probably the best place to start is Jonathan Rouch’s post — also published in the Wall Street Journal, “Gay Marriage is Good for America.” I don’t necessarily agree with Rauch about everything.

In each instance commenters raised the rumor that the writers were gay. It's disappointing that we continue, in the Christian community, to have this outsized, paranoid obsession with homosexuality. It's also fascinating that so many Christians will take a statement like the foregoing sentence and spin it into the belief that I am somKanye West Is Mad Enough To Break His MacBook Air On A Hippie's Head [Revenge Of The Nerds]

The last two years I've followed the events surrounding a gay pride event in Jerusalem, which has provoked violent reactions from anti-gay Jews, Muslims and Christians both in and out of Israel. I mean literally violent reactions; members of the Haredi sect of ultra-orthodox Jews have stabbed participants in the parade, tried to stone the mayor of Jerusalem, set fires and committed vandalism and even planted a bomb at the door of a police station.
