[Dr. Sivana]

Maybe you've been in a faithful same-sex marriage for 40 years.

1. By any proper definition, marriage takes place between members of he opposite sex. ("Legal union of one man and one woman as husband and wife." Black's Law Dictionary, Fifth Edition.)

2. To the degree that certain judges and legislatures have decided to change the meaning of words, they hadn't yet done it in 1970, so there is no 40 year long same sex marriage.

[a fool in paradise]

40 years ago, the sexual revolution was in full bloom. The lavender mafia was publicly flaunting their formerly closeted homosexuality. They were very much “in your face” about it.

Anything goes. The goal was to smash monogamy and the idea of the “nuclear family” (male-female couple spawning satallite children).

The author believes in a myth greater than the Tooth Fairy if he believes that there were same sex couples that didn’t bring anyone else into the relationship stretching back over 40 years.
