D'Souzapalooza

Dinesh D'Souza says the answer to same-sex marriage is simple: "In issuing its ruling the California court appealed to the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The basic logic is that gays have a right to be treated like everyone else. But just like everyone else, gays do have the right to marry. They have the right to marry adult members of the opposite sex! What gay activists want is something else: the right to marry members of the same sex. This is not a right currently enjoyed by anyone."

Andrew Sullivan's riposte:

The California court had a more direct response:

It is sophistic to suggest that this conclusion is avoidable by reason of the circumstance that the marriage statutes permit a gay man or a lesbian to marry someone of the opposite sex, because making such a choice would require the negation of the person's sexual orientation.

Of course, the negation of gay people's sexual orientation is the goal of D'Souza. We do not exist, as far as he is concerned.
