Bludgeon of political correctness has taught us that we are not to ask any such questions of the emerging, politically correct, status quo.
The former Democratic senator from Pennsylvania, Harris Wofford, has announced his plans to marry his boyfriend, Matthew Charlton, this weekend. To most anyone over 30 years old (who might not have heard about this engagement) the news should naturally still knock a bit of the wind out of you. When I see an announcement of marriage where both the names of the intended are male (or female), I am old enough, and have sufficient common sense to see that at least the unconventional is (again) being put in front of me for any number of reasons - least of all, for my information. In this case, it amounts to nothing more than marketing.
This freak lived next door to us during the Kennedy years. The only reason I know the name was that I accompanied my mother, who was doing some door to door precinct work, and she got in a knock down, drag out political fight with him. I, of course, looked on in open mouthed astonishment.
I was in my early teens when this happened and had no idea who he was. For her whole life, my mother was very Trump-like, as far as political correctness goes.
That isn’t actually what that word means.
Is “aberration” better?
