I'm going on Howie Kurtz's Sunday morning show on CNN, and the other guest is going to be far-right radio jock Dennis Prager. The topic is gay marriage, and why the media hasn't made a big deal out of the decision in California. I googled Prager, and gay marriage, and came upon an article he wrote last month. Putting aside for a moment that the great defender of marriage, Mr. Prager, has two divorces under his belt, what I found really interesting was this paragraph:
Suffice it to say that, contrary to the sexual know-nothings who believe that sexual orientation is fixed from birth and permanent, the fact is that sexual orientation is more of a continuum that ranges from exclusive heterosexuality to exclusive homosexuality. Much of humanity -- especially females -- can enjoy homosexual sex. It is up to society to channel polymorphous human sexuality into an exclusively heterosexual direction -- until now, accomplished through marriage.Oh really? See, I've had a theory for a while. The only people who think that most of humanity could go gay or straight are people who themselves could go gay or straight - and they just assume that everyone else is just like them. People who are predominantly straight don't need society to "direct" them to the heterosexual side of things - it's what they prefer anyway. If you need someone to coax you not to have sex with a man, you've got bigger issues than what's happening in some court in California.
