Peter Sagal on Gay Marriage

Peter Sagal, host of NPR's "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me", from his blog (petersagal.com/wordpress), about gay marriage:


"There are three arguments against same-sex marriage, summarized thusly:

1) God hates it.

2) It’s against thousands of years of tradition.

3) It’ll ruin marriage for everyone else.

To which the effective ripostes are:

1) Actually, He told me in a dream that He’s all for it.

2) So was abolishing slavery, outlawing polygamy, and making women citizens, and those have worked out pretty well.

3) No, it won’t."



Well said, sir.
