An excellent essay.

He’s particularly astute when he describes the perversion of language, a very effective tactic - so effective that it claims the author himself as a victim: He uses “genders” to refer to the sexes, “gay” to mean same-sex, and “marriage” to refer to what isn’t.

Still and all, an excellent essay if one can see past - and perhaps take a lesson from - his errors.

I’ve got to disagree with your take on that. ‘Gender’ and ‘gay’ are battles that are already lost. We gain nothing by insisting on continuing on with “sex” and “homosexual” except to further isolate ourselves, and I am not talking about moderating our core beliefs but being smart on how to further them. Which touches on my thoughts in comment #3.
