How gay is that?
Sometimes, newspaper editing takes out some details, leaving some interesting comments behind which you'd never expect to see in a paper. This article looks like it suffers from some of that:
Panel participants represented interests as diverse as those of Alan Chambers, a former homosexual...
Chambers said if gay marriage had been legal in 1990, he would have married. But he argued that had he married, he would have never been able to make the willful choice to move forward and that legalization would prevent other homosexuals from doing the same.
Now, this is probably the only time you'll ever see someone referred to as a "former homosexual" in this kind of newspaper. But more interesting is what "move forward" refers to. Is this referring to Chambers becoming straight? Is that "moving forward"? Would marrying prevent him from having the choice to... uh... go straight? Get married? What? I'm confused. If anyone can interpret this, I'd love to hear from you.
