@ David M

Like you, I simply couldn’t … more out of sheer embarrassment (theologically, Santorum and I are ostensibly from the same theological stable) than anything else.

It’s an ill omen when one’s legal argument goes back to the original precedent governing the supreme courts’ role. It’s also fascinating that that was their best argument.

Is Santorum losing touch with moderate Catholicism?

Straight G. The great burden gay Americans still bear is shame. That's what silenced us for so long; caused the ghettoization that created safe spaces like Fire Island; caused the flight to the cities where we felt safer and where we could meet men and women like us; which also led to less positive aspects of gay life. I know it must get kind of tedious for straight people but this is what's behind the current demand to come out. It's only as we started to be honest about our lives that we started to get anywhere. It's also what's behind the demand the push for marriage equality: so that we can take a place in society that has some respect and a legal framework. Unfortunately the church has been in the shame business for too long. It's time now to move on. Also unfortunately, a great deal of fundraising is based on the prolonging of anti-gay animus. However, things are better than they were. Here are a couple of links to pieces you might find of comfort. A wedding announcement only remarkable for its ordinariness. And a piece by Frank Bruni, an editorial writer for a paper that refused to use the word 'gay' till it was long past due, writing about AIDS and ActUp. If you don't know about ActUp it will make you proud to be American, even though he leaves out some uncomfortable details. I'll do my best with links. Otherwise cut and paste.

(Anyway, the good news is that the rather worrying ‘Santorum spurt’ may have passed – the gap in the polls between him and both Obama and Romney seems to be widening. Perhaps people are beginning to wonder if it might not be a good thing to have a santorumic digit hovering over the ‘nuclear button’ – the guy, like so many of his ilk, does seem rather prone to ’emotional outbursts’!)

@StraightGrandmother

I know your listening to the lot of them was an act of love. And for that I thank you.

“Most viewers of Monumental will not know this. About Titus, Cameron says he has been the Dean of two law schools, not saying, of course, that Titus was let go from one of them.”

It would appear that Cameron is honing his skills at lying by omitting. He’ll make a perfect Barton Jr, Perkins Jr, Sprigg Jr, Lively Jr, Fischer Jr….heck, whoever wants to abdicate his throne, Cameron could step up to the plate and assume the mantle, no prob.
